Saw this on metsblog this morning. http://www.metsblog.com/blog/_archiv...6/2553685.html

Quote:

In a sidebar note for USA Today, Bob Nightengale writes the following…

“The New York Mets might bow out of the bidding for pitcher Barry Zito, a high-ranking Mets official said, if they consummate a deal for Oakland Athletics pitcher Rich Harden.
“The Mets, the official said, are having talks about Harden for outfielder Lastings Milledge and a prospect.”

I would do a deal for Harden in a ny minute. He's young, fairly cheap, and best of all, a power pitching ace.
I'd be willing to send the A's Milledge and another top prospect (not Pelfry or Humber) or Heilman.

He sounds pretty good, has had a bit of a problem with injuries the past couple of yrs...But he's young and cheap...His KO to walks rastio is pretty much 2 to 1, hasn't allowed many HRS, has allowed less hits yhan innings pitched and gotten more strike outs than innings pitched.... all these stats should improve in pitcher friendly Shea along with help from Peterson, soI say gofor it maybe Milledge and a prospect can get it done...
