I was wondering the same thing.
Pale hose must be in a charitable mood.
The Mets should be selling.
If I had 3 wishes... One of my wishes would be to make a select few of you Pirates Fans.

the mets need benson
They aren't going anywhere, they should be selling, god one Duquette is as bad as the other.
Hurry up Art put stanton in again!!
Gearing up to watch the boys bring home #27
What the hell are the Mets going to do with Benson?? They're going nowhere.
The Sox get Kris Benson to stay out of the AL Central. They're playing keep-away with the Twins.Originally posted by Yankyfan

Who cares what the Sox get, the city of New York gets Anna Benson. http://www.annabenson.net/

Exactly. If they make the postseason it will be a surprise. They should be planning for the future. If I were them, Leiter and Glavine would be dangled for solid major-league ready prospects.Originally posted by JDPNYY

Who is she?
Here's a question for the ages -- who would you least like to see in a game: Stanton, Franco or Heredia?Originally posted by LeapsNbounds

Easy. Heredia, since he's a Yankee.

Kris Benson said he would sign a long term deal if traded to the Mets. It is not necessarily a move to theoretically put them over the top this year. It is a move to bolster their staff for years to come.
Thats probably a good move for the Mets. He was a high ceiling and Petersen can probably work wonders with him.

An astute observation. And a shrewd move by Chisox GM Kenny Williams aka Moneyball whipping boy.Originally posted by Clive

With Anna's modeling career, I can see Kris signing a long term deal to remain in NYC.
OT Note: lefty RP Ring (Chisox's #1 draft pick in 2002) who Willams drafted over A's prospect SP Joe Blanton, was traded last year to the Mets for Robby Alomar.
Which is the reason I hope this trade happens!Originally posted by Serge

Seriously though, the Mets aren't going to make the playoffs. I'm guessing their thinking is that even if we don't make the playoffs this year, we still get a pitcher who is just starting to reach his potential and could become a very good pitcher for us. It's stupid but that's what they are thinking.
“I mean, people knew that Brown was out there, and that Randy was ornery all the time. And Pavano is whoever he is. But if you’re their manager, you can’t go out and write about them like that.”
Wait.. why are we believing what Gammons is saying?![]()
Gammons got it mostly right, but the Mets also had to trade Justin Huber for Benson, and Huber was then traded to Kansas City.Originally posted by VanHalen5150

Do you know how many times a week I have to hear the cries of "WTF is Stanton doing in the game? Ok, Mets lost, goodbye!" It's a pain in the ass living with 4 Met fans with rabies.

Well, we've got two of these threads, but this one was more of a rumor at the time, while the other one is official, so I'm just going to close this one rather than merge. Continue discussion in this thread:
