Mets will be going SP in the draft I'm sure, think there is a guy from UNC they are looking at, name escapes me. There are some solid bats coming up through the system now but they are still strapped for starting pitching prospects.
People keep calling into WFAN saying the Mets need to push hard for Cliff Lee. But I dunno. That move may very well put them into contention right through the end of the season, but it'd mean parting with most of the top prospects in the organization, including Jenrry Mejia. The system seems like it's only just now being re-stocked, so I can't see it being worthwhile especially since Lee has said numerous times that he will test the free agent market no matter what, and the Mets won't outbid a lot of the teams trying for him. If Lee agreed to an extension I'd say go for it, but shit like that doesn't happen in mid-season.
I mean look at the Brewers. Hindsight is 20/20 and all but I'm sure given how their '08 postseason went they would have rather not made the Sabathia deal. And even then, there was a more logical case for the Brewers making the trade since it'd been like 20 years between playoff appearances as opposed to 4 for the Mets.
