    I'm better than Gallo, Bullinger, and Weathers.




    I have never pitched in my life.

    We are robbing the mets of all of their strong pitchers.

    Weathers got send to the miniors. This Hidalgo and Wethers trade was a bad idea.

    Horrible, all it allowed us to do was sign Carlos Beltran.

    If it allows us to sign Beltran, then awesome.

    The Astros weren't going to resign Hidalgo anyway so if they don't resign Beltran it's a moot point.

    And the players we gave up to get Beltran? I don't see it as moot.

    John Buck - .218 average, 6 HR's, 15 RBI's, and an average defensive player

    Octavio Dotel - 4.28 ERA with Oakland, 4 Blown saves (7 on the season)

    Looks like that whole situation with Doggy & Beltran & the other players involved may be a wash.
