The pitching staff has logged tons of innings especially.

Damn...for a minute there I swear you were talking about the Yankees

Last weekend in the NY papers the talk was Buehrle to the Mets and Dye to the Yanks.

If I were the Mets I'd jump on Buherle. He will give them a chance to win now. I have no idea why the Yankees would want Dye, especially with a big, long contract looming for him?

I disagree. Pedro has started to throw BP. They have some young arms in Maine and Perez who both pitched well in the playoffs last year. Add Glavine and El Duque (Yankees and Sox fan know how good he is in the playoffs if healthy) into the mix and I think they well off. Then if you do get Pedro back you are in even better shape. I think they would be better off going for an outfielder, perhaps Dye. Because it looks like Alou is not coming back soon. Then they can make a move in the off season for a big time pitcher such as Zambrano. A possible rotation of Pedro, Perez, Maine, Glavine and El Duque is pretty formidable, add that to their solid bullpen and things are looking good for the team from Queens.

If you think that Pedro is going to come back THIS year and be effective, Perez isn't going to blow up, Glavine and El Duque will stay healthy and Maine will continue to be effective I agree with you. But the chance of all those things happening are remote. It will be hard to believe that Pedro will be the same pitcher this year because very few pitchers much younger than him recover from rotator cuff surgery that quickly and are sharp and effective. Glavine and El Duque are big injury risks. If I were them I would feel alot safer having a guy like Buehrle especially in the NL where he should be a bit more effective. The key is Perez because if he throws strikes he can be dominant and he can eat innings. If he gets wild, he can be dreadful. The Mets don't need a whole lot more offense in that lineup and the fact that Dye is a right fielder, the Mets may be better off sticking with the guys they have plus Chavez when he comes back and see who is available at the deadline.

Pods - is an overrated player. Sure he was instrumental in helping the Sox win the WS, but he's barely better than Juan "Pepe Le" Pierre. He came out of nowhere in Milwaukee to keep the seat warm for Dave Krynzel, who is the same type of player. Everybody is saying, who in the heck is David Krynzel? He "was" the future CF at the time that Pods was in Milwaukee, but the fact that he was the same type of player as Pods plus injuries, derailed his career. Also not helping that Corey Hart is now up with the team, and Bill Hall is working out quite well in the OF for the Brew crew. That was a heck of a deal to trade Pods at the time for the Brewers.

I cringe when John Maine takes the mound. Mike Pelfrey should be better than him, but it keeps happening the other way.

[MaTH716]

Pelfrey is pitching Friday. Maine is alot better than I thought he was going to be. And Chuck is right about Perez, he is so wild at times. But he is a 25 year old lefty that throws 95 MPH. I also think that they should have given Heilman a shot to be a starter this year. Bottom line is they have options. They have players on the team and on the farm that have value, so if they want to deal they can.

[Crown@club]

Don't touch Elbert or Kershaw.
Dodgers don't need him. They need offense. A 3B to take over and let Nomar take a hike.

[Crown@club]

Buehrle to the Cards - thats his first love. Sox better get that extension done.

If you match up the Yankees and White Sox, I can only think of 2 positions where the WS are better, 1st and DH. The Yankees are also in much better shape than Chicago in terms of young players. There is no Hughes in Chicago's system. There is no Jeter or Arod in Chicago. They need to take that team apart worse than the Yankees!!!

Make you feel better?
