More tinkering with the WAR data...
I was too late for St. Patrick's Day. :(

Beyond the Boxscore has featured a couple of graphs similar to this comparing seasons ranked by WAR. I thought I'd give it a try. (I used only catchers with a long Mets tenure and I think my cutoff was ~ 100 PA for excluding first and last seasons. It didn't make much of a difference)

The Metropolitans trading for Cleveland's Paul Byrd is the fifth of Dayn Perry's "Five trades that must happen."

Is there any chance of this happening? Is this a good idea for the Mets? Who would the Mets have to give up?
I have no idea.
Some stats and stuff below...

There's a pretty fluffy interview in today's NY Times on everybody's favorite ace.

Read more to find out he's got a hot wife, a real nice house, three dogs, and a Hummer. He also prepares on game days by gardening?

Closer Alternatives

Braden Looper. I don't think he's doing THAT bad, but I groan when he's brought in. He's blown 3 saves in 18 opportunities and lets too many guys on base.
I was looking around for good relief pitchers who aren't closers. I figure that although there might be a reason they aren't closers, they also might be easier to acquire. (All of these guys might be impossible to trade for, but some of them have expiring contracts.) What other prospects or possibilities are there for the Mets, or are we stuck with BL for 1.5 more years?
