****Official 2007 NY Mets NL East Champs Thread****

[kbfc]

Ok, now that I'm done celebrating the financial windfall the Mets gave me (plane and playoff tix are expensive), here's my wishlist for next year:

Pitching:
Pedro, Maine, Perez, Pelfrey, ElDuque starting. Glavine rotting in hell.

Wagner, Heilman, and Feliciano can stay. They're not great, but if they were great, they'd be starters. They're fine in the pen. The rest of the pen can rot in hell. What's the deal with Duaner Sanchez? Haven't heard anything about him all year.

Position players:
DW had an MVP-worthy season, so he gets to stay.
Beltran, despite lots of injuries and sucking half the year, still put up a pretty monster season for a CF. He gets to stay.
Reyes needs to relearn how to play baseball. He is young, though, so he can stay.
Delgado, I fear, we are stuck with. I suggest paying A-Rod 50 million to play first base next year.
Castillo is a big whatever. I guess he's pretty good on defense, but his bat is pretty terrible. He's fine at 2nd I suppose.
Alou needs another 1yr deal. He is old and fragile, but awesome.
LoDuca needs to meet Glavine in hell.
Castro should be the opening day starting catcher as I suggested somewhere about 50% of the way through LAST season.
Milledge needs to be the main man in RF. He will be good. Just play him.
Green can stay and play backup OF and 1B, batting cleanup in games against John Smoltz.
The bench is good. Keep them all.

Management:
Willie's head on a spit.
Omar can stay. People bitched about not getting a reliever, but who was available? Gagne? That worked out well....the fact is that relief pitchers (outside of some closers or special cases) generally suck, which is why they are relief pitchers.
