Following an Angel (split from Prospect Lists of 2011-2012)

[Benjamin Grimm]

John Harper (I think) said this morning that the Mets have about $20 to $25 million that they can spend this winter on players, but that about $10 million of that will go to Angel Pagan and Mike Pelfrey.

And I still have to wonder... why? Is that really the best way to spend $10 million? I think you have to consider the non-tender.

[Vic Sage]

consider it?
I'd insist on it. or at least trade them after arb.

We'd be better served going forward to see what the kids can do in those slots, because the upsides of these guys is not impressive enough to wait around to see again, for the price.

I'm very down on Big Pelf, I'd deal him for a reliever that I thought could help or a longshot prospect that someone else has given up on but the Mets think may still pan out.

I'd trade him for a backup beer vendor.

I don't think I've ever disliked a Met as much as I dislike Mike Pelfrey. He wears a Mets uniform so I hope he wins 30 games next year but for right now, I would be thrilled if he was no longer a Met and they got something in return for him. I know that there's a logical argument for keeping him but I don't care.

I guess you weren't around for Jim Fregosi, Vince Coleman, Roberto Alomar, Aaron Heilman. I could go on.
