Maddux: SP help for at least this year and next
Posted: Fri Jun 29, 2007 7:11 am
Playing at a sub .500 pace in a good division, the IBC Mets will consider offers for Greg Maddux.
As of today, Mad Dog is 8 - 5 with a 3.31 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and a 67/12 K/BB ratio in the IBC. In "real" life (as this effects next year's projection), he is 7 - 4 with a 3.66 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and a 62/15 K/BB ratio.
I believe some contending team could improve their SP for the 2nd half and in the play-offs by picking up this durable veteran. In return I am seeking a "sure" young SP (I don't expect a Lincecum or Bailey and will not take a JD Durbin or Edwin Jackson) and another youngster - either a P or position player.
I am not in a hurry to trade him and have until the end of the month to consider offers so if a trade doesn't happen before I leave for Honduras, perhaps one will occur after I return on the 19th. I would also include Maddux in a package that doesn't include Miggy or Kershaw (and probably Rollins).
