Pedro, El Duque & Alou better be they're last year!
I've been fed up since last year and I thought Omar would've came to his senses in the off-season. These guys are always hurt and they are a waste of locker room space. Please Mets lets these guys go at the end of the year. Don't even consider having these guys back. It's just a waste of time. I don't even know why the New York papers bothered headlining that Pedro, Alou and El Duque were hurt. Like that's really news to any one. Pedro even when healthy is a 5 inning pither. Just not worth it. Alou swings at every pitch and his triples end up as singles and he can't score from 2nd on a double. El Duque will pitch for half the season and pitch a quarter of that half well. That's only 1/8 of a season of good pithcing. That's not worth it.

We're not going to get much for Duque in trade. and we're not going to get anything until he puts in a few quality starts. I think the best bet is to keep Duque this year, cause Pelfrey still can be sent back & forth to the minors. Duque can fill in this year if Pedro is out longer than 6 weeks.
and I think, next year, duque is gone. The mets were generous giving him a 2 year deal after 2006, that's enough. Duque's gone after this year.
Pedro - as far as next season, the issue with carrying a guy like Pedro on the roster is what happens if he gets hurt and what happens when he only pitches 5 innings. So, we need some inning eaters on this team. Santana, Maine, Perez aren't bad, is Pelfrey a 4th and Pedro a 5th?, or if Pelfrey isn't a sure thing, who do we sign?
I don't mind keeping Pedro, cause in a sense, Pedro for half a season is good when you have a young kig like Niess, who you might not want to start from Day 1.
Same with ALou - I wouldn't mind Alou next year, and we can platoon Pagan & F-Mart. But I want to see what ALou puts up this year first, before I say it's OK to bring him back 1 more year (same with Pedro).

on a Related note - I'm wondering if Castillo will make this list in the near future.

Bill Clinton slept with an intern. A consenting adult and he got impeached and nearly disbarred as a result. Donald Trump went to parties showcasing underaged women brought in as basically prostitutes, and he says it's nothing.
Double standard?
