First.. weaknesses are an excellent way to evaluate a team. The Yankees looked at their team and said "Hmm, we need a left handed ace. Lets get one.". Was that a horrible way to look at it? I guess so. The Cards basically said "Hey, our pitching sucks.. I wonder what's out there in the trade market." I guess that was stupid, too.
1. Reyes - Fast..
2. Matsui - Speaks fluent Japanese...
3. Beltran - Smart enough to take the biggest paycheck. Speedy, above average range.
4. Delgado - He has a lovely smile, and good power.
5. Piazza - Apparently isn't gay, not that there's anything wrong with that.
6. Cameron - Great fielder. (Hey, an actual plus!)
7. Wright - Had a good rookie year, has power.
8. Floyd - Excellent spectator. Really, that's all he's done the past couple years.
1. Pedro Martinez - Afro-Sheen day at Shea has a nice ring to it.
2. Tom Glavine - Has pitched pretty well, actually.. aside from against Atlanta. Just hasn't gotten run support.
3. Benson - His wife is hot.
4. Trachsel - Good for a #4, in my view. Only consistent Met lately. (Hey, this one didn't change)
5. Zambrano - Well, at least he's Victor Zambrano, and not Carlos (who is clearly better) -- last thing we'd need is three guys to call Carlos.
Bullpen:
Braden Looper - His name isn't Armando Benitez
Mike DeJean - I'm sorry, but I can't even think of something amusingly positive about Mike DeJean.
Jae Seo - I said I'm comfortable with him, damnit. That's a plus!
Tyler Yates - He.. uh.. still has potential, I guess.
Aaron Heilman - His name rolls off my tongue. Try it a few times. Let it flow. Aaaaron Heeiiilmaaan.
Felix Heredia - He might not make the majors roster. Definitely a plus.
Matt Ginter - Pitched reasonably well last season as a starter, only to be pulled way too early by Art Howe several times.
Is that better? I hope so.
