No. From what I saw of Jason Vargas last year . . . he sucks. Didn't throw hard. No control. No impressive second pitch. I wish he would prove me wrong this year or next year because Henry Owens (before he got hurt) and Matt Lindstrom pitched real well for the Marlins last year. I get sick to my stomach every time I saw them pitcher last. We certainly could have used them last year (think Guilermo Mota). This was, in my opinion, one of Omar's worst trades.
back in the day, a lot of mets fans were upset about this trade. Always the optimist, I was optimistic about Vargas' future, but, me thinks, I was wrong. I don't think Vargas will give us anything, ever. Too bad, but baseball's like that. A lot of prospects don't make it. It's a cruel sport.
