We already lost the guys we would lose this year. Remember sloppy, anybody who was not eligible last year will not be eligible this year due to the added year in the new cba.

Muniz will stay on the 40 man when he could be outrighted for instance. But the core of the Mets prospects are all quite young right now, other than the ones on the 40 man already. And thats no something to get worried over, they'll become top prospects next year if they take the next step. With the extra year before Rule V there arent that many players who will become eligable and be worthwhile to pick up anymore, imo. If they cant get on the 40 man in that many years, they're basically up as prospects. sloppy, there are a couple guys who will get protected.

Though I like Omar, him bullpen approach may net him the name Omar ¨Dumpster Diver¨ Minaya. This one´s a headscratcher, but maybe they know something we don´t. certainly a low-risk deal.

That is the only time its critical. Maybe we'll lose our best prospect at another position like we did at catcher last year. Anyone defending the management of thos club really is just looking for free tickets from the soon to be fired GM. Just think, Winter of 08 on ESPN the OMAR/Steverino shhow. How to build and then destroy a franchise in a couple years. Watch it. I guess you're glad ski that we gave away our only catching hope last year. A gift to Acta for his time served maybe? Seriously if we don't have anybody worth protecting next week then we really really really are in deep trouble. Ski: Filling the 40 man isn’t important a week before the Rule 5 draft.

There are really only 2 of those spots on the 25, so why get mad at this trade. With the new CBA adding a year of protection from the rule 5 draft, there are no prospects that had to be added to protect them. I guess some of you are upset that the spot isn't open for Brian Lawrence. It's not like Omar was going to convince dotel or chacon to sign with the mets to pitch in New Orleans. Bottom line is, if he doesn't perform at AAA, he'll be dropped by midseason. Plus, doing a little favor for a team that you might deal with at midseason never hurts.

The D'rays wanted to make more room on their 40 man roster to protect some minor leaguers from the upcoming rule V draft. The Mets have 5 openings on their 40 man roster and could snag the guy for nothing but cash. If he turns out better then Omar looks like a genius, if he continues to suck then he just gets released and it didnt cost anyone to get him. Whats the big problem? geeze some of you are a little overly critical.

If they can't then DFA him or trade him for someone they can fix. Low risk......so why not. If they can fix him, they look like geniuses. It worked for Ollie, sometimes these things work out.

So while Omar spent sleepless nights working on the major deal for the pen finding a pitcher wirh numbers worse than Mota's , the Rays and Twins were putting together a minor swap of Garza and others for Young and others.
