Baseball economics...Mets

The Yankees over paid for C.C. Sabathia. He's the highest paid pitcher in baseball and not the best pitcher in baseball...Santana, Peavy and a healthy Beckett are all better than C.C....I'm thinking C.C. will could end up like a pitcher a little better Bartolo Colon...an overweight, overpaid pitcher who was pretty good for awhile. Maybe Barry Zito...it's a little scary that Sabathia didn't immediately take the Yankees offer...As a "west coast" player who doesn't want to really be a Yankee this contract may not end up well. The next Giambi??? We'll have to see.

I correctly predicted the downfall of the Knicks the moment they signed Allan Houston to a 7 year $99 million contract.

I asked Steve Phillips to trade for Matt Lawton in March at a Mets Dinner. In July they acquired Lawton. I've got mad pull...Plus has Steve Phillips left a voice mail at your house? I think not.

Bobby Valentine lives in my Zip Code. I've met him several times. Jackie Robinson used to live in my Zip Code. When he was a live he opened his house up to the public and had a Jazz Festival.

I hope that the Yankees sign Derek Lowe and A.J. Burnett. I hope the Yankees continue to burn threw money on players that won't help them. Lowe is old, and average. Maybe a 4th starter at best...Please sign him for 4 or 5 years at over 12mil a year. Same for Burnett. He ought to stay healthy through out the contract.

I want to trade Luis Castillo for Desi Relaford, Joe McEwing, Kurt Abbot, Danny Garcia, Matt Franco and Lenny Harris

I am really happy about K-Rod. but the Mets need more than just him. I think Orlando Hudson would be a great fit for the Mets at 2nd base.
