Upgrade our pitching and switch the bad contract to a place of need that can be replaced in the open market. While he is not great and has been on a decline, I think he would be useful for the team and more useful than Castillo. If we can get Arroyo with the right move I am fine with that to. #9, we still have our targets on the market still out there. If we end up with no upgrades I will skewer Omar too, but lets face it this is the only move that has happened so far this off season where I wanted the Mets to make instead of the team that made it and were in a position to make the move. If we get Piniero for a similar deal or Garland for 1 then I won't care about this move, if we don't than I will How can I kill Omar for not making a move when the move is still there to be made. #10, I assume if we are getting Harrang we are getting him for Castillo which would be why we would make the deal.

How can I kill Omar for not making a move when the move is still there to be made.

Stole it from Chuck Thompson, former O's play by man. When his analyst would start going on with if if if, he would say something like "When ifs and buts become candy and nuts what a wonderful world this will be". 13.

The price was right and he would have made the Mets better. Fact is, they need at least two arms to go with what they have now, and that might not be good enough.-JD It’s not as if getting Marquis was getting Halladay, but he is a reliable arm, which is something the Mets didn’t have from starters No. 2-5.

Harang? Why trade for him when you have guys on the market who are steadier? Hrang has shwn two years of marked deteoration and makes a lot more $$ than Garland will get and probably Piniero will get. I can only see dealing if you get Phillips as well. Arroyao? He's a higher class of pitcher, a steady innings eater and a winner even on a losing Reds team. He is definitely worth pursuing. 8. Harang?

This is not the end of the world, but I would have liked this move if we had made it. If we end up with Harang and Piniero instead I certainly wont be crying over Marquis.

Marquis is nothing great, but he is dependable. His ERA would look better in citifield too. I wanted Pedro back last year, but that was before the rotation had so many question marks. 2 yesrs for 15 was very reasonable and I bet he gave the Mets a chance to match it. Bad job. This is bad.
