62, I find your criticism of Wolf to have no substance and more paranoia than logic.

62, Why not type all in lower case instead of upper case? I believe it would be the same form of accommodation, but would make your posts a lot more readable. The upper case makes your posts almost unreadable in my opinion.

MASK, OFTEN IT’S BEEN SAID, “BUYER BEWARE” SOME BARGAINS TRULY ARE A MATTER OF GETTING WHAT U PAY FOR. I’D BE MORE INCLINED TO BE LESS SUSPICOUS IF OUR TEAM DIDN’T HAVE A HISTORY OF ROTATIONAL ISSUES MARRING ALL OF IT’S MOST RECENT CAMPAIGNS. FEW REMEMBER HOW REMARKABLE IT WAS GETTING TO GAME 7 IN ’06 SINCE 40% OF OUR ROTATION WAS D/L’d IN PEDRO & DUQUE WITH NEITHER CONTRIBUTING ANYTHING THROUGH THE POST. ’07 SAW PEDRO DISAPPOINT ONCE MORE, ’08, SANTANA PROVED HUMAN, MAINE SUFFERED FIRST CAREER INJURY SETBACK, ’09 NOTHING MORE TO SAY…THAN 12 SP USED TOO FREQUENTLY. FOR THIS LIST TO INCLUDE SUCH QUESTIONABLE HEALTH ISSUES AS IN PETTITE, HARDEN SHEETS AS #s 1-3. A SUSPECT WOLF IS, IN MY OPINION AS DANGEROUS A RISK. FOR MY MONEY THERE SHOULD ONLY BE 2 TARGETED ACQUISITIONS: LACKEY FOR #2 SLOT & MARQUIS FOR #3 ALLOWING A WILLINGNESS TO PKG EITHER PELF OR MAINE FOR A NEEDED POWER BAT, PERHAPS NOT YET CONSIDERED. LOOKING AT THE ASEMBLED LACKLUSTER GROUPING OF F/A & SLIM FINANCIAL DARING OUT THERE THOSE 2 SHOULD HAVE DECENT INTEREST

62, Your fears about Wolf are all hypothetical with nothing hinted as substance. It is best to approach Wolf by looking at his record and jusdging what he can do for the team. Everything else is just a witch hunt with no true basis. Don’t give up a bargain on the basis of an unsubstantiated fear.

BOB, I’VE SLOWLY; BUT MOST ASSUREDLY HAVE LEARNED TO DISREGARD MOST OF THE NEGATIVE CONJECTURE OUT OF NYPRESSCORPS SINCE IT SEEMS THEIR MAIN PURPOSE IS TO ADD FIRE TO THE IRE OF NYM FAITHFUL. IN FACT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT MADDEN PREDICTED THE BRAVES FOR THE NL EAST IN ’07. HIS LATEST BS CONJECTURE OF 20M TO SPEND IS JUST THAT, IN MY OPINION. I USED TO BELIEVE THAT MOST DOWNPLAYED THE NYM AS A WAY TO BUILD NYY; BUT RECENTLY I BELIEVE IT HAS MORE TO DO WITH NYM NOT COOPERATING BY LEAKING INSIDER S**T & MAKING THEM LOOK ASLEEP WHEN THEY’RE ACTUALLY CAUGHT SUPRISED BY NYM MOVES. MUCH LIKE THE WILLIE FIRING WAS SO BELEAGURED AS A 3-4 AM DEAL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER A WEST COAST NIGHT GAME. THEY GOT THEIR LITTLE PR**KS CAUGHT IN THE ZIPPER. THE NYM NYPRESS ISSUES GO WAY BACK TO DICK YOUNG’S ADVOCATING THE SEAVER
BANISHMENT TO CINCY.

Hi, Mets62…you raise a great point. i don’t know. But Madden said Wolf is likely to go back to LAD. i’d go after Marquis and Sheets…lock them up. i wonder why we seem hesitant to go after Harden…health?

BOB, OF ALL THE NAMES LISTED 1-20 WOLF’S SCARES ME THE MOST! HERE’S WHY…HOW IS IT A SEMI-PRODUCTIVE LH SP NOT REPRESENTED BY SCOTT BORAS CAN NOT FIND A LERGITIMATE LONG RANGE HOME THROUGH HIS PRIME YRS AGE 32-35? SINCE 2006, AGE 32, WHEN PHILADELPHIA DEALT HIM TO LAD, WOLF HAS BEEN ON THE ROSTERS OF SD,HOU, BACK TO LAD & NOW LA LETTING HIM WALK AWAY WITHOUT A DECENT OFFER? PADRES, ASTROS & DODGERS ARE FRANCHISES WITH RESPECTABLE REPUTATIONS AS PITCHING EVALUATORS, SO FOR A DURABLE LH SP WITH DECENT STATS NOT DEMANDING UBER CONTRACT AND NONE ARE INTERESTED IN TYING HIM DOWN LONG TERM? IS THAT A BOMB I HEAR TICKING? TRUST ME THERE’S CERTAINLY SOMETHING, EVEN LA ONLY SIGNED UP FOR SECOND GO-ROUND OUT OF DESPERATION! WHAT’S WITH THIS GUY? IT CERTAINLY MUST BE UNSAVORY

DEVIN, YOU LIKE ? LIKE HARDEN & SHEETS? CHECK OUT OUR EXISTING ROTATION BEHIND JOHAN. ISN’T THAT PLENTY OF ? FOR ANY TEAM? A CONTENDER DOESN’T TAKE THAT RISK UNLESS ALL THE BETTER OPTIONS ARE GONE. OOT OF THE ENTIRE TOP 10, THE SUREST BET IS MARQUIS, NOT SEXY; BUT SAFE PERFORMER WITH IMPRESSIVE ABILITY TO BE ON TEAMS IN THE POST SEASON. AND HE’S A LOCAL! HE ACTUALLY WANTS TO BE A MET! FRANCOUER CALLS HIM A WARRIOR, HE TUTORED UNDER BOTH MAZZONE & DUNCAN. LET’S NOT DO ANYTHING RASH OR STUPID SHOULD WE GET LACKEY MARQUIS IS AN EXCELLENT #3 OPTION AND MORE ASSURED THAN ANYONE IN OUR ROTATION NOT NAMED SANTANA! DEVIN, YOU WANT INTRIGUE? READ SOME SHERLOCK HOLNMES MYSTERIES.

In my opinion, the Mets cannot afford to wait until the end of the year for Lackey. The need to get at least one of these guys and then keep on trying for Lackey as well. The top choices would be Wolf, Marquis, and Pineiro. They must get one of these at least and continue trying for Lackey as well.

I saw his name, but didn’t see anywhere in the article that the Mets were interested, it was just simply a list of FA’s.

Good point, Devin about Wolf, Piniero, and Marquis having good years in their walk years. Wolf and Marquis, i think, have been consistent over a couple of years. Piniero i suspect, big time.
Man, i agree on Sheets and Harden; both have had health issues, so we have to be careful, but really top pitchers when they are playing. And Bedard is another ER type, but a darn good hurler, if healthy.

I think that of the two we should go with Jason Marquis. He chnaged his approach and became more of a groundball pitcher, plus I like that he is a local product from NYC. If we were to sign him immediately, than we can wait out Lackey and sign him too. That would give us a nice rotation of Santana, Lackey, Marquis, Maine and Pelfrey.
