My hopes for today...

Hope Verlander is not traded.  He is still a top notch starting pitcher and I think there is reason to think he will remain so next season.  If he is traded, it becomes hard to imagine this team winning 90 games next year.  Heck, it becomes hard to imagine them having a winning record.

Plus, there is no really promising young starting pitcher in AAA ready to take Justin's spot in the rotation.  Now if the trade includes a top notch pitch prospect at the AAA level that could move into the rotation (and more)...maybe.

I am okay with Pham being traded.  He is a free agent, his value is at a high point, and they can probably get something decent for him.  Please don't get another catcher or shortstop.

It also, coupled with the Canha trade, opens room for Maurcio to be called up and given a try out in LF.  I can guarantee Mets fans would be okay if all this happened.

If Pham is also traded and Mauricio is not called up, Mets fans are going to be mad.

Hoping Raley is not traded.  Good lefty RP do not grow on trees.  We are going to need a couple for next year.  Don't trade him just because you can get the 20th best prospect from some other team.  We need him.  Hold on to him.

I think the Mets should call up Josh Walker, the most promising lefty RP in Syracuse, up and give him a trial for the rest of the season.  He has failed badly in MLB but he has really good stuff and if he is ever going to get it going at the MLB level, now is the time for that to happen.  Let's see what the kid has.

Fine with trading Narvaez.  Nido is raking in AAA and ready to go back to the show.  If we can get something serviceable for him, lets do it.
