The Mets really gave up some very good prospects for pitchers that may not work out and one of them (Benson) may only be a rental. The Mets sure are going for broke this season.

They're gonna fall short.
I'm happy the Mets are contending, considering the shape of their bullpen and the fact that they've been bitten by the injury bug. This team seriously overachieved here, and even in a weak division I think it would've taken a lot to make the postseason. They just wouldn't have the legs(and arms) in the long run and the past week and a half was evidence of this. Now with Zambrano in the rotation.. UGH. This team isn't going to make the postseason with a pitcher that walks 96 batters in 128 innings.
I'm not too pleased with the trade for Benson, could've subbed in two or three decent prospects with a chance to make the Pirates or Royals instead of Huber who would replace Piazza in two years or so and Matt Peterson, especially since I am well aware of Benson's desire to play near his home in Atlanta(I read something about him recently moving there. If I'm wrong, oh well :P). Should've just waited to get Benson in the offseason and trade Wiggy and several other decent players for another pitcher, anyone but Victor Zambrano, at least.
Get Zambrano off this team, please
