heres who i hope the mets can get starting with
pitchers
dan haren
starting pitcher for the oakland athletics
age 26, years pro 3, throws and bats right
stats in 2006
14 wins 13 losses, 4.12 era, 176 strike outs
reason: he's a great young pitcher who the mets could use for the weak starting rotation. he can be a middle man in the rotation a #3 guy. he is also reliable u can count on him to get atleast 15 wins a year
mark mulder
free agent starting pitcher (was with cardinals in 2006)
age 29, years pro 6 throws and bats left
stats in 2006 ( was injured for most of season
6 wins 7 losses ,7.12 era, 50 strikeouts
reason: despite a terrible injury plauged 06, mulder is an awesome pitcher. he has a 103-57 career record. if he stays healthy in 07 mulder can be a force on the mound and perhaps an ace. which the mets really need.
jeff weaver
free agent starting pitcher (was with cardinals in 06)
age 30, years pro 8, throws and bats right
stats in 2006
8 wins 14 losses, 5.76 era, 107 strikeouts
reason: he may be a average to below average pitcher but this man is a horse he'll give u a good 7 + innings which is good cause it rests ur bullpen. he might be cheap as well and who knows with him in the back of the rotation or in the bullpen as a long reliever he may be good ^ ^
jon garland
starting pitcher for the chicago white sox
age27, years pro 6, throws/bats right
stats in 2006
18 wins, 7 losses, 4.51 era, 112 strikeouts
reason: garland is a talented young pitcher coming of back to back 18 win seasons (05 and 06) he can be a cy young award winner in the future and a ace on any team. mets could really use em and the sox are willin to trade him for the right price hmmmmmmmmmm
javier vaquez
starting pitcher for chicago whitesox
age 30 years pro 8, throws/bats right
stats in 2006
11 wins, 12 losses, 4.84 era, 184 strikeouts
reason: the plan b if the mets cant get garland despite a decent 2006 hes a solid pitcher that strikes out alot of batters and in the national league he can do even better.
