If, G-d forbid, Reyes or Wright or Delgado were to go down, it's possible that someone-- Cora, Tatis, or Evans... or Sheff-- could step in and provide a reasonable facsimile of their offensive numbers for a 2-month period (not likely, but possible). There is NO such replacement for Santana-- can you see Niese, Redding or Garcia doing what he did over the last two months last year?

Um... Edward McCain? I think you might have negged an actual Met fan there, guy. (The singer is EdWIN.)

Rusty Kuntz, RUUUUUUSTY Kuntz! I have Stubby Clapp for you.

(I'd want to check out the new stadium, too.)

(BTW-- If this whole new-stadium business doesn't work out, there's always money in the banana stand.)

A lot. (When you can run a guy with a no-hitter on the resume who looked dominating two years ago as your 4, and a first-rounder with vast potential at your 5... you've got an explosive little stable.)

Are you sure that's a good idea, O? He's not as controllable as latin players...
