Mets Sign LaTroy Hawkins

[SILVER SEAVER]

Oh where oh where will Aaron Heilman be? Let's get the old band back together and get Joe Smith, Chad Bradford, Roberto Hernandez and Duaner Sanchez back in orange and blue.

Sandy is very smart. He saw what Baltimore accomplished last season in a competitive AL east, and is trying to do the same with the Mets. Talent-wise, we aren't much different, but what made Baltimore great was their pen controlling close games. If our pen can be a strength, it will help out a lot.

A very good pen is key to overachieving.

Without question.

All 10 playoff teams had good pens...and many of those teams had some of the top pens in the league.

Its a vital part of the game.

We were the worst pen in the league last year.

Things must change in this area regardless of how the rest of the rebuilding process turns out.
