Although I am glad to finally see Beltran leave town...the Mets got boned again!!

As the 33rd best prospect in baseball, he is ranked higher than any prospect in the entire Met organization.

Not sure what you wanted for a 34yr old, often injured, 2 month rental player!

Nothing wrong with acquiring young arms, especially when Mike Pelfrey is your #1 starter!

I wanted a couple throw in arms.

Greedy!
You got rid of Beltran, I thought that would be enough for you!
With Mccann and Chipper hurt, Santana getting close, I thought the Mets may shift gears, become buyers, and make a run athe wild card.
Guess not!

Wildcard? I don't think so... .500 is a more realistic goal. I am very happy Beltran is gone. Just wanted a bit more for him, since he was the "best" free agent on the market.

I agree 100%, i was just thinkin the same thing when i read your post.
Beltran is batting .289 with 15 homers, 66 ribbies.
I thought he was finally living up to his potential.
Even after being out for how long, 6 or 8 weeks.
The Mets are done now, i guess the Madoff effect.
