Good trade for the Mets; neither Butera nor Martin looks to be anything great as a prospect.
In case anyone was interested the answers are:Ok Mets fans, its time for a game. Remember how some of you wanted Zito so bad you were willing to give up Milledge + at last years trade deadline? Well guess which 2 pitchers these stats belonged to before friday?
Pitcher A: Pitcher B:
18 games 20 games

56 runs allowed 71 runs

5 win 7 win
7 losses 10 losses
1.55 whip 1.43 whip

Just keep it in mind next time you want a bigtime FA and why Im hesitant to pursue pitchers with hefty longterm contracts. :wink:
Only reason I bring this up is cause Steve Phillips keeps saying we need another starting pitcher when in fact we have maine and ollie with era's under 3 and el duque at 3.02 with Glavine's best still to come and Pedro returning.
I think sosa only came out of the pen because yesterday was his day to throw in between starts. I think its going to be a permanent move when pedro comes back as hes a perfect long man and has experience in that role.BTW, I saw Sosa pitched out of the pen during the extra innings last night. Has he been moved to the pen for good? I expect that to happen when Pedro returns, but it seems early now.
