I suppose It's so unusual for the Mets to have a Phenom(Wright notwithstanding) that you have to see bright prospects leave.

Like I said above, what little talent we do have in the minors is really not all that great. We've got a couple Alex Escobars (Martinez and Gomez) and a couple Paul Wilsons (Humber and Pelfry). If you can land a Danny Haren or Johan Santana for them, pull the bloody trigger!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('21008','Frank from Jersey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('21008','Frank from Jersey','spo, \r\n\r\nMets talent has historically been OVERrated.

As much as I hope they don't trade Gomez, I'd trade him in that deal for Santana. What about D Train? The Fish organization is on the border of collapse, with the stadium issue and all. D Train might be cheaper. He'd love NY, and put him with the the Prof, and we may have something.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('20596','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('20596','Rich','I find that package too good to be true.
