Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death

Colon/Garcia

by em3 on Jan 11, 2008 2:59 PM EST Comment 3 comments

Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia are too risky names that the Mets could add. Why not sign them both to 1 year, incentive laiden deals, and hope you get a combined 175 innings out of them instead of mortgaging the future for Santana?

I've mentioned this before

I like the idea of signing Garcia or Colon, a whole lot better than trading for Mussina. I think Freddie Garcia in particular, on an incentive laden contract, would be a good sign for the Mets. If he's healthy, he could be a stud for the Mets down the stretch.

RE: I've mentioned this before

Yea, I would definitely take a shot on Garcia.

PS: Mets and ChiSox seem to be the leaders for Lohse. This better not be true.

Re: I've mentioned this before

never anything wrong with cheap, high risk talent. I don't know how much stronger this would make our rotation as pelfrey at #5 works for me, but at the least it would be a great injury hedge and with everyone healthy could mean a stronger bullpen.

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
