I agree with you here Plaw. Of course a lot of things can happen, but barring any major injuries to any of those teams in the mix, there is a strong possibility that things can work out very closely to the scenrios that you've provided.

And I agree, the Mets really do need to go out and get another quality pitcher if they are serious about winning their division this season.

I believe that a healthy Bannister can be a real plus for that rotation, but not enough.

I think that they should try to make a deal for Barry Zito.

They just may have to give up one of these young prospects, but so be it if they are looking to win this thing this year, which is what they should be thinking about.


And come August/September, you and I both know that Atlanta will be right up in the mix for a playoff spot. They always find a way.
