Re: Delgado to Mets

Whoa, Minaya is crazy. Giving up your top pitching prospect in a deal for a 33 year old 1B is not good. Sure it's just prospects, but wouldn't the Marlins deal Delgado to just about anyone willing to take on that contract? Seems like a gross overpayment to me. Not Kazmir for Benson level, but not too far from it.

I think delgado is a better investment than thome, and IIRC those are the only 2 pretty good 1B's on the market.

I don't disagree, and in a vacuum it's fine. But it just seems like typical Minaya, revealing his cards too early. There are not a slew of teams that were clamouring for his services and would take that contract, so the Mets were in a position of strength. I'd think he could have gotten the deal done with lesser prospects is all.

that's what texas was saying 36 hours before beckett and lowell went to boston. The yanks could use a 1b, even [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
