This fight turned out much like Wilson's career
Jon Heyman has reported the mets rejected a deal from Toronto for RHP Roy Halladay, in return for Fernando Martinez, Bobby Parnell, John Niese and Ruben Tejada.
Apparently, Omar responded with a “resounding no.”
Let’s take a look at these “prospects”
F-Mart: No longer a teenager but possibly the most over-hyped prospect in Baseball. People think he’s the next coming of Daniel Murphy (joke) He’s a tooth pick, can never stay healthy. Awesome.
Jon Niese: Will make a fantastic 4th starter….. one day
Bobby Parnell: I like Parnell, a lot. No problems with him.
Ruben Tejada: This kid is *20 years old! He didn’t start wiping his own ass until, what?… 9 years ago? Besides, he’s not even close to playing in the bigs.
Now if you allow me to look at our other gems of the past, again”
Bill Pulsipher: .406 Win %, over a 5.00 ERA. Awesome
Paul Wilson: .408 Win %, just under a 5.00 ERA. At least he was better than Pulsipher. Awesome
Lastings Milledge: Greatest career highlight thus far — Named International League’s Batter of the week. Awesome
David Wright: Worked out well
Jose Reyes: Worked out well
Greg Jeffries: He was ok, definitely not as good as they hyped him up to be. Definitely a prick though.
Scott Kazmir: Turned out to be a very formadable pitcher. Please don’t tell me I would have been ok with trading him for VZ, I wasn’t. Halladay is a completely different ball game.
Alex Escobar: I was excited for this guy, turns out another victim of over-hypeage. .258 career average. Hasn’t played since 2006. Awesome.
This all being said. I am furious with this losing organization and I hope the Phillies get Halladay so we can continue our self inflicted misery. Go get them Philly.
I’m gonna get a lot of shit for this one.
*OK, according to multiple sources, this is BS and may have not actually been offered. Even if it wasn’t I still maintain my stance!

how about a little research on tejada who is actually gonna be 20 in September.
And FMart has some injury problems, I don’t think its time to write him off though
I’m not sure if the end asterisk is in relation to your entire “article” or to the rumor…possible should be to both?
lol
You’re right about his age… on metsblog this morning it says 17!. I’ll change that, but you get the credit.
I’m definitely not writing off f mart. I just think he has a lot of living up to do that might not be realistic.
As far as the asterisk goes… asteriks just look good.
ahh…never trust Metsblog, always double check:)
Agree 100% with your thoughts on the “prospects”
Make the trade omar!
Matt…. I will not tell Cerrone you said that!

Am I in the wrong room?
I’m sensing some anger here, OM. Try deep breathing. Works to get rid of the Omar nightmares.
