Someone posted it on a football forum and everyone assumed it came from thin air. It sounds like something that should go in JD's trade thread.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 The sticking point w/Abreu is not only the money he's owed but also that he has veto power over any trade - and would most likely at least want his 2008 option year picked up before he'd agreed to anything (his agent has said as much).So that's the remainder of ($15 mil?) contract for this year and about $16 + $17 for the next two - all this WHILE you're paying Wagner, Pedro, Delgado, Beltran major bucks as well, and about the time Wright & Reyes would be heading for that kind of territory.On the other hand ... y'know what a .425-ish OBA w/decent power & speed sitting between Reyes & Carlos^2 & Wright would do to our run production? Like Wow!

I'd love that trade. Burrell's chances of homering of the Mets would be reduced by 12.
Guest Rotblatt Guests Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 From the Star Ledger:]METS BUZZ The Mets have talked to the Arizona Diamondbacks about Miguel Batista and also about pitcher Juan Cruz. Arizona likes Brian Bannister a lot as a possible return chip. ... Yes yes yes to Juan Cruz!!! Former top Cubbie prospect, 28 years old, career line of 4.39 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 8.38 K/9, 4.58 BB/9, 0.93 HR/9. He'd been relegated to the bullpen pretty much since 2002 but Arizona's been using him as a starter with mixed results. 4.91 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 7.2 K/9, 3.88 BB/9, 0.39 HR/9. He's got some serious H/A splits, though--6.20 ERA @ home and 3.34 ERA away. He's a fairly small pitcher but he throws in the mid 90's with regularity and he's got a good changeup.I'd do Bannister for Cruz in a heartbeat. Batista I'm less excited about because he's older and has less upside, but he'd be a solid pickup as well. It'd be like having two Trachsels on our team.
