Barry zito to mets..

RANDYMOSS84 · May 7, 2006 7:54PM

mike and mike are talking about the mets involved in a deal with the oakland a's. Buster olney just said that the mets could get Barry Zito for lastings millidige(AAA prospect) if the mets wanted too(he said deal could go through if mets agreed). Intresting that rotation would be SICK

If that happens then the Mets will improve their already good chances of being a force in the playoffs.

I like Zito and all and think he is a great West Coast pitcher, but I would be concerned whether or not Zito could handle NY.

bad trade written all of over it. Zito is not that good, headcase,.... should have held on to kazmir

Zito/Hudson/Mulder didn't bring the A's any luck, I would still like a guy like Zito on my team.

Look who he's played for a non run producing team that has systematically gotten rid of all big time offensivess producers.

I doubt the A's will be giving him up as they are still in contention.

Funny, the new york media seems to think every possible free agent name is destined for a NY team.

^^Who doesn't want to play for the Yankees? Come on now, by far the most storied franchise in american sports history. Plus with the checks they(mets and Yanks) cut, who wouldn't pull a Damon or Moose.

Where's this coming from? All I said was the NY media seems to see every free agent as a 'potential' met or yankee, just to satiate a fan base used to having all stars at every position.

That's all I was saying.

Oh, by the way, griffey jr. is on record as saying he'd never play for the yankees.

Hmm, lets see. The A's have a new owner that is willing to spend $$$. Oakland traded there top minor league prospect during the off-season for Miton Bradley and signed frank Thomas. Many sources have the A's picked to go all the way this year. But now just a few weeks into the season they are going to trade away there #1 starter and fan-favorite for a AAA prospect? Yeah, could happen.
