I doubt that trade goes off. The Mets are losing all of their young talent. If they think Moises Alou is the answer in left field they're wrong. Alou is underrated, but he's a horrible fielder and coming off a few injury plagued seasons. He should be primarily a DH now.

The Mets aren't gaining that much. Heilman should be AT LEAST as good as Linebrink next season, is 2 years younger and can start. Peavy is a great pitcher, no doubt, but he's inconsistent, though he's only 25. Oliver Perez has the POTENTIAL to be as good as Peavy as he showed in 2004 (12 W, 2.98, 238 K's).

I'd definitely be a lot more comfortable with Peavy in the rotation, but I don't know if it's worth losing Milledge and Heilman, especially when Perez is the same age as Peavy and has ace potential too, though he's coming off 2 awful seasons.

I can't see the Orioles accepting that for Tejada either.

The Padres would be the real winner there. Tejada, Heilman and Perez? Shit. 2 young starters and arguably the best shortstop in baseball?
