I am 60% confident the Mets will work out a trade for Santana killing the farm similar to what Omar did with Colon as the Expos GM. If a deal gets done I feel there is a 75% chance Pelfrey is NOT included giving us a killer rotation. If he is dealt we sign Loshe for 30 years $24-27 mill and still of a stellar rotation. Lineup is no surprise, Bench probably isn't either. There are 3 players who will be competing for the final spot (Wise, Register, Smith). Wise and Register have more to prove than Smith win the spot Smith goes to New Orleans(or Syracuse) and is the first to come up if there is an injury. Some players I feel will be the first to be called up if there is an injury Angel Pagan, Joe Smith, Anderson Hernandez, Michel Abreu and Adam Bostick. (Predicted on January 17th)
