Mets are saying what is needed to be said in public. No, there is no panic going on here. We will be fine, going to see how Lima does and if the youngster Mike Pelfrey, can do the job. General manager Omar Minaya thinks the kid Pelfrey is ready. There also is no reason to move Aaron Heilman out of the pen while he is doing the job.
The reason for allot of this? The Mets are gun shy, not to make the same mistake they did when they traded away Scott Kazmir for the now injured Zambrano. If they do pull the trigger who may they be willing to get and what will it cost?
Barry Zito SP Oak: The A's maybe forced to keep him till mid-July while there still in the running to win the division. If they do decide to part with Zito it won't be cheap. Lastings Milledge OF, John Main SP, Brett Harper 1B and Fernando Martinez would be high on there list. Could the Mets part with any 3 of these guys?
Dontrelle Willis SP Fla: There is no rush to deal him now, a bidding war would be best for Florida. But this guy is going to continue to lose and have problems for the Marlins he is just tired of losing. Pelfrey would be high on there list to get anything done.
Odalis Perez SP LAD: Out on bereavement to attend to his sick mother, Perez may come back traded. LAD has been trying to trade him for a long time, with no takers for there asking price. Could the Mets be folding under the concern to remain at the top and overpay for Perez?
Kyle Lohse SP Minn: This would be there best option for the Mets. Lohse would not cost allot to get and what you will get out of him in wins is about what you would get out of Zambrano. Look for this too be more of what the Mets will do.
