Colon/Garcia

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.

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.
