And, to this point, the Mets don't need an elite reliever like Cordero -- they need an eighth-inning set-up man. And that eighth-inning set-up man will likely be available via a waiver-wire deal next month. It would have been nice to pick up Cordero and have a closer pitching the eighth inning, but the Mets can probably fill that role with someone like Jon Rauch -- and without surrendering Pelfrey, Gomez, Milledge, Guerra or Martinez.
