STARTING ROTATION only has Pedro over 30.
Overall on the team, its only Scho, Wags, Pedro, and Feliciano.
Mets pitching staff overall is very young, its our lineup that has a lot of veterans.

Yea that comment seems a little off base...When El Duque, Glav, and Pedro were all in the rotation at the same time it might seem a little more accurate butnot so much anymore

I always enjoy watching his swing.
If you go to nymets.com there is a Mic'd up Session on his trip to yankee stadium for the Future Stars Game (right hand side)

What did Fernando Martinez do in the Future Stars game? I seen his first at-bat where he hit a single but I fell asleep right after that and missed the rest ofthe game.

Fernando should get the call this season! Throw him out there and see how he handles it. I think it's only a win-win for the Mets if they just give the kida chance this year. Their outfield is injury depleted, so I say throw the young kid out there and have veteran pinch-hitting in Tatis and Endy.

Sherman On The Mets
By Tim Dierkes [July 15 at 9:30am CST]
Joel Sherman of the New York Post talked to Mets GM Omar Minaya yesterday, gaining insight on the team's plans for the second half.
* If Ryan Church is able to return (the Mets are cautiously optimistic), the Mets will focus on a righty-hitting left fielder. Raul Ibanez is a lefty, whilethe prospect price on Matt Holliday and Xavier Nady seems prohibitive. I assume the same applies to Jason Bay. Sherman has mentioned Austin Kearns in the past;he could make sense.
* The price on Brian Fuentes and similar relievers is also apparently too high. Minaya might prefer not to further deplete the farm system.
* The Mets could elect to solve their problems from within - Minaya suggested Jon Niese and Fernando Martinez could be in the bigs next month.
* Minaya's recent history of midseason acquisitions - Luis Castillo and Jeff Conine in '07, Orlando Hernandez, Shawn Green, Guillermo Mota, RobertoHernandez, and Oliver Perez in '06. Over his career, Minaya has dealt often with Indians GM Mark Shapiro.

Neise is filthy, I'd be surprised if he's called up this early....but I do agree that Fernando may be called up, let him play LF.
IF (and that's a big if) Ryan Church is able to play again, then I don't see any reason for any major moves.

What do you guys think our rotation should be once the Mets resume playing tomm (Thurs)?
They play a 4 game set @ CIN, then a 3 game set vs the Phils @ SHEA.
1) Santana
2) Oliver Perez
3) Maine
4) Pedro
5) Pelfrey
That way, Pelfrey can get a start vs the Phils (He doesn't give up any home runs), and Santana/Ollie can face them for the last 2 games of the series.
Thoughts?

You really want Pedro pitching vs the Phils (Game 1) as opposed to Pelf....at SHEA nonetheless?

It's not about if pitcher A deserves a spot ahead of pitcher B. The rotation should be configured so that the Mets throw their best at thePhillies. We need someone to go deep innings against the Follies because they perform well against our bullpen.Originally Posted by nightruans

Exclusive: David Wright Throws His Real Girlfriend a Surprise Birthday Party
An extremely kind reader has sent us a few photos of the surprise birthday party Mets 3B David Wright threw last weekend for his gorgeous girlfriend, model Molly Beers. The tipster says the pair is definitely still dating (apparently, they met two years ago in Arizona when he was training for the World Baseball Classic) which means the New York Daily News was way, way off last week when it linked him to a TV reporter. Mr. Wright, we salute you. A job well done. We do, however, have a question about that watch … many more photos after the jump:
Pretty hot.

That TV reporter would've been a definite downgrade.
You think Pelf could pitch on 3 days rest after one start following the All-Star game? If so I'd like to see him as the #4 pitcher after adjusting to openup the series with the Phillies. I guess some would depend on his pitch count but he throw a lot of pitches in Sunday's game against Rockies in his 8innings.
I'm just way more comfortable with maximizing Pelf out there than Pedro, especially since we have July 31st off and he'd get an extra day in thereafter the 2nd start. I just don't know what the staff's view on something like that is.
I'd like to see:
7/17 - Johan
18 - Ollie
19 - Maine
20 - Pedro
22 - Pelf
23 - Johan
24 - Ollie
25 - Maine
26 - Pelfrey
27 - Pedro

Endy with a rare miscue, but tonight is the perfect example of MY issue with Santana.
While he has dominant numbers, he doesn't get much run support...and when he has a lead when was the last time he even held it?
