Starting Pitching in NYC

By Tim Dierkes | November 17, 2006 at 2:01pm CDT

Here’s the latest on the Tom Glavine front: the man says he’s 50-50 between the Mets and the Braves.  The Braves would have a hard time matching the Mets probable $24M/2y offer unless they dropped some salary in a trade (like some of these possibilities), so it may come down to how much of a hometown discount Glavine is willing to give Atlanta.

Across town, there’s the possibility that Scott Proctor will enter camp as a starter.   Proctor was great in his first full year out of the pen, but the Yankees starting corps still has plenty of holes.  No one–including Brian Cashman–could possibly think that the Yankees won’t make every effort to add at least one more starter, but as Cashman points out, the move is mostly insurance: it’s easier to prepare to start and end up relieving than to go the other way around.  If nothing else, if might make Cashman seem a little less desperate in trade talks.

And back to the Mets for a second: if you’re interested in the next wave of Mets players, like Anderson Hernandez, Carlos Gomez, and Fernando Martinez, you may enjoy this article of mine over at MetsGeek.com, which takes a statistically-minded look at their defense.  If Gomez ends up as part of a trade, whoever gets him could do very, very well.
