GimmeShelter 21,640 Posted July 6, 2005 Especially when you have the third highest payroll in MLB and the highest in the NL. There's a difference, the Mets payroll isn't double their closest competitor. Yanks are double our payroll....that's 3 or 4 more All-STARS. Not that Jeter is a All-Star this year. Seriously, Delgado if he had signed would have made a world of difference to the Mets....kinda like what ARod does for the Yanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GimmeShelter 21,640 Posted July 7, 2005 What makes this all even more laughable is this: Pedro Martinez is the only player on the Mets deserving of All-Star consideration and the only player who I would trade for, maybe David Wright but time will tell with him if he can improve a little more. That being said, I'd still take 5 NL pitchers over Pedro Martinez, and most aside from homer Mets fans would! Here are my 5: Dontrelle Willis - THE BEST PITCHER IN THE NL, PERIOD. Roy Oswalt - young and nasty Jake Peavy - young phenom Roger Clemens - Look at the ERA and he would have double digit wins if there was hitting in Houston Livan Hernandez Still half a season to go...what's Willis lifetime record 2nd half? Looper blew three Pedro wins. ALLthose pitchers including Pedro, you would take over your Yankee staff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
