Mets pitchers and catchers reort in exactly one month

Hoping Santana will be among them...but I've been waiting for a deal so long I could very well see it not happening. Barring any new contracts being brought in I'm guessing this is the pitching staff for next year:

Pedro, Maine, Perez, El Duque, Pelfrey/Humber
Wagner, Heilman, Sosa, Schoeneweis (I wish not), Feliciano, Sanchez (assuming healthy), and then a competition of like 5 other relievers for the last spot. If Sanchez can come back as the 2006 Sanchez it would be a HUGE boost...but I don't see it. And I don't see Heilman going back to the rotation.

I dunno...I feel bad shortchanging that pitching staff...but you just know El Duque is gonna get hurt and Pedro probably will as well. And even if Pedro pitches awesomely and stays healthy all year he'll still only be replacing Glavine's spot, still need someone else. I guess you have to go with a Freddy Garcia or something.
