I'm sticking with my opinion of before on a trade.
I would not trade Milledge for Zito.
I might have traded Milledge for Willis, but the way he's pitched lately, I don't know if I would anymore.
I still say the Mets don't need someone as good as a Zito or Willis.
Just someone good enough for the Mets to win 14 or 15 of the 25 games he would figure to start.
I took a quick look at everyone's roster and came up with a list of starters that I think could help the Mets.
Not to suggest that any or all of these guys are even available - but this type of pitcher is what they need, and shouldn't cost them a Milledge or Pelfrey.
Livian Hernandez Orlando Hernandez Joe Blanton Dan Haren Cory Lidle Matt Morris Joel Pineiro Gil Meche Sidney Ponson Jason Marquis Jeff Suppan Kris Benson Matt Clement Glendon Rusch Paul Byrd Jake Westbrook Ted Lilly Gustavo Chacin Chien-Ming Wang Carl Pavano Brian Moehler Jae Seo Kelvim Escobar Odalis Perez
If he's healthy, Carl Pavano would be perfect.
He's had success in the NL, and if the Yankees could solidify their rotation without him, I bet they'd love to unload his contract.
