I'm really sick of these so called experts (particularly in the New York media) saying the Mets simply have no shot of getting a good pitcher because they "have no chips".

Carlos Gomez is still among one of the top OF prospects in the league, as is Fernando Martinez (who the Mets are EXTREMELY reluctant to part with, nearly untouchable). Milledge is still only 22 and has shown he can play at the big league level. As for pitching, sure Pelfrey got rocked in the big leagues last year, but he's only gonna be 24 at the start of next season and still throws mid-90's with a sinker that can only improve. Guerra throws mid-90s at age 18.

I've heard that Beane is gonna retort the Mets' offer of Gomez, Guerra, and Mulvey and rather than give back Haren, they will give Blanton. That would kinda suck IMO. Blanton's good and all but he's no ace.
