Coming off Pedro's stint on the DL, I wouldn't be 100% confident that I'll have a #1 starter also.

Yeah, but that's not why they made the trade. If Perez can regain his form, that'll strictly be a bonus (Maybe Rick Peterson is gonna do one of his "10-minute jobs" on perez.)
If they don't win this year because Hernanadez doesn't do the job, this will be horrible deal no matter what Perez and Nady do for the rest of their careers.
And if Hernandez does do the job and the Mets win and he is an integral part of the team, this deal will be considered successful even if Nady becomes a star.
I just don't think the role should be that difficult to fill with some of the relatively free talent out there.
Or, Heilman can't pitch the 8th and some combo of Feliciano, Bell, and Bradford the 7th?
