To give up Roberts to get back two possibly very good big league pieces would be a good thing in all probability. It all stems back from GMs being afraid to make a deal or in Baltimore's case, the owner not allowing teams to make trades.michael o.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16343423687974819915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36516653.post-47431213157324360832007-07-18T18:24:00.000-04:002007-07-18T18:24:00.000-04:00OOPS, I meant to say that I'd be surprised if eith...OOPS, I meant to say that I'd be surprised if either of those guys wasn't a Met before the end of the month. Lets face it, I wouldn't want the Mets to trade David Wright or Jose Reyes but if we were in last place or close to it for the umpteenth time, I'd concede that it's time to do a little remodeling, they've publicly stated that they're not moving any pitching. The O's can have Green, Salary Money, Milledge, and hell, I'd throw them Pelfrey to get that deal done. Green won't be any more embarrassing than whatever they're putting out there now and he's gone next year so they get a draft pick, Milledge is such a youngster that he can be a serious building block and Pelfrey would do well under Leo's tutelage, (even though we said the same about Soulglo). It's not a bad trade.Sassdawg.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00813276742493198160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36516653.post-40251834145345794352007-07-18T18:14:00.000-04:002007-07-18T18:14:00.000-04:00If the O's don't trade Roberts then they're going ...If the O's don't trade Roberts then they're going to unload Markakis, and he would fit well into long term plans for the team.

He's young...and the best 2b in the AL. <BR/><BR/>I'd take a flier on Affeldt and/or Wood in the off-season to see if they can stick in the pen, but would not go crazy trying to sign them. <BR/><BR/>Also, I'd bring Alou and his tasty $8 million option back. He's cheap and the Mets will have Gomez and Milledge. If he does down, no sweat. But he provides a nice insurance for the young guys even if he misses two months again. As long as he is healthy for the playoffs, he is worth the cash.michael o.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16343423687974819915noreply@blogger.com
