I unlike most Mets fans am glad that Omar didn’t make any trades before the non-waiver deadline. All too often Omar overpays for marginal players. If the Mets need bull-pen help, call up Eddie Kunz. He’s the closer to be, and the time under Billy’s arm will do him good for next year when he’s the 8th inning set-up man and 2010 when he’s closing. If they need a starter, call up Neise. Neise in his 1st game in AAA pitched 7 innings and gave up only 1 run. If a Bat is needed, call up Murphy or Carp. Both are hitting over .300 and play the infield or outfield.
If the Mets are looking for an experienced Major League pitcher, Freddie Garcia is a free-agent and pitching this week for a job. He’s healthy now and won’t cost the Mets half the farm system to sign. It’s become evident that other MLB Gm’s don’t like to deal with Omar unless they have no choice. This is evident in the double standard of players needed. The Redsox gave away 2 bum players to get Jason Bay, and the Mets were being asked to trade major players. So in light of the price needed by the Mets to get anyone, I’ll take my chances on the kids in AA and AAA.
What do you all think? Should Omar have signed someone? If so who, and at what price?
