Sonnanstine wasn't as hittable in the minors and I think the hits will drop as he goes into his third season and with a move to the NL. In Citifield or whatever it is going to be called he'll be a 4.00 ERA guy with a 1.19 WHIP which should do quite well as a #4. Interesting sidenote, he's 4 for 10 batting lifetime which is more reason to get to the NL.

No clue how Cruz is Type A either. Interestingly Lyon is only a Type B so wouldn't cost the Mets a first round pick.

Rumor is the offer on the table was Heilman and Feliciano for Street and the Mets have pulled it. Don't know why Omar got cold feet on that one with how bad those two were last year.

I dont believe that the Rockies would do it. I think it is a ploy by Minaya to try to force someone they are interested in to do something

Russ Springer is a type A too. the rule is a bad one for RP's because a non closer is rarely ever worth a number 1 pick.

Wow, I can't see the 1st part happening. He's been half throwing/half shot putting for a while. He's pretty f'd up. I guess his shoulder must be pretty damn toasted. Watch him pitch. He's pushing the ball to the plate. It's like some weird new game from the other side of the world. Some whammo-designed game. Push it, and aim it (and follow through a long time.)

My guess is the Rockies were desperate for a lefty in the bullpen so were considering the deal to get Feliciano but then news broke they signed Embree and Minaya pulled the offer off the table to save face knowing they would no longer consider the deal.

5:05 p.m. — Mets' trade offer shot down
The Mets, seeking a setup man for new closer Francisco Rodriguez, were rebuffed in their attempt to trade right Aaron Heilman to the Rockies for righty Huston Street.

Heilman has drawn interest from more than a dozen clubs. The Mets turned down the Cubs' offer of righty Jason Marquis. It seems inevitable, however, that the Mets will find a match.

Street, too, has drawn interest from numerous clubs. The Rockies have yet to receive a tempting offer.

E.R.A. =11.0

Don't you think we'd of signed him if he had any shot?
