mets

jim duquette is a dumb *****.

i'm sorry, but that's the only way to see his 'moves'

people gave him the benefit of the doubt when he signed the over-hyped kaz matsui, even though he had a younger, better, player at the same position in jose reyes.

now, he trades:[list=1][*]scott kazmir, the system's best pitching prospect, and TINSTAAPP aside, a future no. 1 starter.[*]matt peterson, another strong prospect, albeit one who has some more question marks with him.[*]jose diaz, fireballing closer (although way too early to judge)[*]justin huber, who although they'r questions about his defense, he's a great hitting catching prospect; and[*]ty wigginton, who's just a place-holer for David Wright[/list=1]

for:[list=1][*]kris benson, who's a failed no. 1 draft pick whose upside is a league average pitcher. oh yeah, he's also grossly overpaid and has an injury history (in his defense though, his wife is pretty hot: www.annabenson.net); and[*]victor zambrano, who's a wild league average pitcher. i suppose rick peterson is a miracle worker, but still...[/list=1]

and the stupidest thing: the mets didnt have a chance BEFORE they mortgaged their future. I saw somewhere that duquette hates fred wilpon and wanted to sabotage the team before he's fired. i hope that's true. when you make chuck lamarr look skilled, you have NO place in professional baseball.
