Hey Barry money doesn’t buy championships. I guess you forgot the 2003 season when the Marlins beat your so called Yankees. Then in 2004 Those same Yankees blew a 3-0 league championship series to the Red Sox. I think that more of an embarassment then the Mets.

can someone tell me how Castillo with his near .400OBP and servicable defense is the problem.

Dude, are you ignorant or something? You’re acting like the Met’s don’t have the cauffers the Yankees do. The Yankees ranked first in payroll this year and the Met’s placed 2nd. The Met’s deffinately have the resources to match the Yankees payroll this year and next. Perhaps the key for the Met’s would be to stop acting like they’re playing in the shadow of a giant twice their size and start adapting the same strategy as the Yankees, being don’t trade all of your farm system for an ace that you have to pay free agent money to anyway and don’t sign player’s that are replacement level players at best for premium salaries, cough Luis Castillo, You act like Johan was such a great acquisition and then you wonder why when you have injuries you have no player’s to fill voids. The Met’s are an embarrassment to NY and baseball, and they have been for years.

My 2010 Mets team would look like this:

SS Jose reyes
2B Brandon Phillips
CF Carlos Beltran
3B David Wright
LF Jason Bay
RF Jeff Francoeur
1B Daniel Murphy
C Miguel Olivo

SP- J Santana,J Piniero,R. Wolf, M. Pelfey, N. Lowry or J. Maine
RP- M. Gonzalez(from Atlanta),Justin Duchscherer(from Oakland),B. Parnell, J. Feliciano,B Stokes.
CL K-ROD

*Please Omar get a strong bullpen and B. Phillips to play 2B
I truly believe that this lineup and pitching staff can and would dethrone the Phillies and shut J. Rollins up.

Teams win championships with great pitching and great bullpens. Just look at the Yankees SP’s and bullpen and you know why they won the World Series.
All the Mets need is to get 15-25 home run hitters and a good pitching staff with an excellent bullpen and I guarrantee they will get to the World Series. You don’t need 8 AROD’S on your team just a well balanced offense and great pitching and a great bullpen.

Correction on Noah Lowry. He is going to be 30 in 2010 not the 25 I mentioned and he won 14 games in 2007 not 2008. Sorry for that mistake. I still think he can win 12-15 games and come real cheap.

If we trade for B. Phillips which he will make 6.75 mil in 2010 that would only be $750,000 more than castillo plus Phillips hits 15-25hrs and can get you 80-100 rbi’s and 20-30 sb’s. Then we can save money by signing J. Bay. He wants less yrs and less money than M. Holliday which can save us for starting pitching and a stronger bullpen. R. Halladay may be a great pitcher but I feel he is not worth all our draft picks. We must learn from past mistakes. If Omar can make a deal like he did with Santana then great otherwise lets go for 2nd tier sp’s and strenthen our bullpen. I would go after J. Pinero and R. Wolf. I would even try and grab Noah Lowry from san fran and give him a shot at the #5 slot. Remember he won 14 games in 2008 and he is only 25 yrs. old. As for the bullpen why not go after M. Gonzalez from Atlanta and J. Duchscherer from Oakland. They both performed well in 2009 and would definitely strengthen our bullpen for 2010.
