Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4697545, member: 27"] The decision to let him go will go down in history as one of the worse personnel calls in Mets history. That said, if I were a GM, I don't know how enthused I would be able signing any pitcher to a long term contract. So many promising young pitchers burn out so quickly. I think the best long term way to handle your pitching staff is to develop a great farm system and continually bring up young arms to take the place of guys who establish themselves and go away as free agents. This is what the Mets are trying to do. Not much progress so far, but it is good they are trying. [/QUOTE]
