and andruw is still due to go on a tear.
honestly. i'm still not that worried though. although a great trade for both teams, they need pitching.. smoltz and hudson isn't going to get it done.
NYM need to get one more guy in the 'pen, and need to play a lot more consistent/hit with RISP. and i think we'll be ok.

We're definetly fine.. I mean, Im hoping Milledge can have that Miguel Cabrera 2003 effect. He was called up during the middle of the season, got a chance to play everyday and started to become a prime time clutch player.
F*ck Green, I dont care about him, just get MIlledge a start 5 or 6 days a week. His bat is electric and he has great defensive range and a cannon.
We dont need a 2nd base either, Gotay can rake righties, let Easley get spot starts against lefties.
We need another good RP.. Heilman I wont even lie. he's gotten his last 22/23 batters out. He's starting to turn around.
We have 2 good guys and 1 shut down guy. Heilman, pedro^2 and Wagner. Getting a cordero would put us over the top, I'd love to acquire any good RP though, a rauch, dotel, etc.

green/milledge should/will platoon in LF with lefties and righties. and i expect chavez to spot start for alou. (don't forget about endy!)
i'd love for omar to get a guy like dan wheeler. he's a ex-met, 29 yrs old, and havin a good season.
i'd also loooove for omar to get another oliver perez-type. like edwin jackson, zach grienke, matt cain, scott olsen, paul maholm, ervin santana, and zach duke. (aka: don't give up to much. a guy with high upside who hasn't harnessed all his skills and really struggled this year. we let them devolp in AAA, and then next year give them a spot in the rotation.)
i think most of those names are possiblities (prob not cain)
