That's the Yahoo headline I've been waiting all winter to see pop up in my RSS reader.
Instead I've been getting steady doses of Angel Pagan news and the thrilling drama of the Torrealba-Schneider musical chairs at catcher (the result of a Lastings Milledge deal which made them look stupid for not dealing him when he was still a glamor prospect).
Our pitching staff as currently constituted is an utter shambles. I'm on record saying that if we don't get Santana or at least two other decent arms, we will struggle to stay above .500 next year. But mostly what we need to do is get Santana. At any cost. This story reports that Omar was reluctant to trade Gomez and Martinez in the same deal. My response to that is "Tough shit." Pedro, El Duque and John Maine just cannot be counted on to hold down the fort.
Just give them what they want.

Prediction: Santana will give the Mets innings. He will pitch well in the National League. He will help anchor the staff.
Yet he'll be what A-Rod was to the Yankees in the early years of his contract: A good performer who somehow disappoints.
It's an indefinable thing. Nevertheless that's my call.
