Unless he goes back to the Dodgers or comes back here, I highly doubt the last years of his career will influence the hat that goes on his headstone.

I'd advise not to worry too much about what the call-in radio folk worry about. I might have missed something, but the time I heard them discussing it M&MD were just commenting on the oddity, not concluding Omar had an agenda.

]SS McEwing / Relaford LF Agbayani 2B Alfonzo C Piazza 3B Ventura 1B Johnson / Zeile CF Payton RF Shinjo / Perez In retrospect, this lineup with the 2001 versions of all these players wasn't going to score much, either.

]First of all, the sources of this "story" sound a lot closer to writers wanting this to be true -- remember the axiom about writers wishing for things that make their jobs more interesting -- more than it sounds like something that's got a chance of actually doing so. Essentially, the fact that Cashman didn't scream out 'NO NEVER!!!!' was their license to run with it. No writer would EVER put his agenda over what he thought was the true story. To do so would risk losing his reputation, being fired, and being tarred-and-feathered.

Nah, much better to trade for relievers with a 5.86 ERA and sign a 47 year old man as a weapon off the bench. __________________ This post had the designation 76) Dan Frisella

That's what I was thinking too, Irish. I think it would be purely some sort of grabbing-ex-Mets agenda from George. It wouldn't even do much towards a goal of causing grief to the Mets themselves, since the front office obviously doesn't give a crap.

Hating Mike Piazza for playing for the Yankees is probably the most childish thing imaginable. I'm struggling to come up with something else that is more childish. If there is a need to hate someone, hate Omar.

]We still don't have enough left handed middle relief so after all this, the pen is still not complete. Amazing isn't it? You'd think that after trading two starting pitchers almost exclusively for bullpen help (have to say "almost, or I'd get killed for not acknowledging our new stud prospects) we'd be able to fashion a complete bullpen.

Heilman is a better starter than Benson based on what?
-
]trade may have removed an overpriced arm from our rotation and replaced him with a better one The addition of another starter has not been finalized yet. It ain't gonna be Zito.

Maybe not, if you factor in all of the talk starting from offseason 2004-2005. Piazza's possibilities for this offseason were beaten into the ground by May.

Ouch.

="A Boy Named Seo"]And isn't waiting until 5 years later, when there's actually some data to examine, the better way to evaluate a trade anyway then getting all charged up and saying that a person who plays this position getting traded for a player who plays this position is an automatic hate? Yes. Fortunately, I said "almost" an automatic hate. Besides, this isn't a poll asking for scientific evaluation of a trade. This is a poll asking how do you feel right now about this trade, in order to stimulate conversation. Why bother with "no opinion"? Take a stand. Unless you really are completely indifferent to having Maine and Julio instead of Benson in the Mets' organization? "Completely indifferent" meaning, if someone asked you (as GM) who you'd rather have, you'd flip a coin.

Weenie. NOTE: This is meant in a light-hearted manner, as was the post where I stated "no opinion" voters are "weenies."
