aight if i were gm i would do this: STARTING PITCHING OPTION A Resign Leiter Resign Benson Rotation (in no particular order except trachs) zammy glav benson leiter trachs OPTION B Resign Benson Get rid of Leiter Sign no one, ya you heard me, there are no real good pitchers available at a good price, pedro is over the hill, pavano doesnt wanna come here and is a one hit wonder anyway Rotation zammy glav benson trachs seo/heilman/petit (give him a chance in st) RELIEF PITCHING OPTION A Resign Dejean Keep Fortunato up, he has really shown me something so.... L - Set up - Stanton R - Set up - Dejean Third set up guy - Fortunato Closer - Looper OPTION B Sign Rheal Cormier to a three year deal, a little risky but he will be our lefty setup man once we get rid of stanton Resign Dejean, but if you cant it will be fine L - Set up - Rheal Cormier R - Set up - Dejean (if we cant sign him then put fortunato in there, officially but use stanton in that role even though he is lefty he is good against righties), maybe even strickland :dunno: Third man - Stanton Closer - Looper Now on to the real stuff HITTERS OPTION A [/I} sign mags, i have my doubt about his health but still.... trade floyd to al team make piazza's permenant position 1st resign hidalgo so lineup will look like this: 2b - matsui ss - reyes 3b - Wright Rf - Mags 1st - Piazza Cf - Cameron LF - Diaz C - Phillips I dont like the idea of having an all righty middle of the lineup but i could live with it. IF BURNITZ WILL BECOME AVAILABLE SIGN HIM AND PUT HIM IN LEFT BATTING 6TH. OPTION B Trade for Helton or Konerko Trade Piazza in a three way deal involving jason kendell, pirates get someone from third a.l. team, a.l. team gets piazza, mets get kendall. Try to move kendall to LF or RF if it dont work then he will just catch. 2b - Matsui ss - reyes LF - Kendall 1b - Helton 3b - Wright Cf - Cameron Rf - Hidalgo C - Phillips ---------------------------------------------------------- well thats it any combination of the above would make me pretty happy also didnt spend too much time on it so there may be flaws. |

:laugh2: Bowwow, the Mets would finish 4th again if they entered the season with that roster. The defense would be terrible again, the starting pitching would be weak and the bullpen would be even weaker. jason Phillips struggled to hit .200 last year yet you're going to hand him the starting job? |

Like I've said before many times......if the Mets were to trade Piazza, they need to acquire a good starting catcher either in the Piazza deal, or from another team in a seperate deal. I don't want Phillips and/or Wilson catching the entire season. Even if Piazza is going to be moved permanently to 1b, I still want a solid catcher in the lineup. And no, Wilson and/or Phillips do not qualify as solid catchers, in my eyes. |

Some of you are forgetting a kid by the name of Mike Jacobs that the mets have in their farm system. Injuries have held him up for the past couple of seasons but he was pretty good in the minors. If Phillips doesn't shape up in spring training it might be wise to give this kid a shot. |

Although Vance isn't a bad option I still wouldn't want to start him for 120 plus games a year |

No, they aren't. And if they do, it will be a failed offseason. The Mets have already said Piazza will play catcher! |

Mike Jacobs is a worthless scrub, players were constantly moving ahead of him on the "Farm system depth chart" even before he got injured, he will be in AAA until he is 40 |
