Per WFAN: Mets acquire reliever Roberto Hernandez & LHP Oliver Perez for OFer Xavier Nady

Poor X-man. Oliver Perez, at one time, was the shizznit.

At this time, though, he's Lima from a different teama. I don't know what his wife looks like. Yet...

Perez was outstanding 2 years ago, whether he can ever reclaim that i don't know, but this is a trade that needed to get done following the unfortunate injury to Sanchez. With Chavez playing well and Milledge still here Nady was pretty expendable.

I don't think it needed to get done. Assuming the role that Nady had on this team is of equal value ot the role Duaner played, replacing Nady with internal parts seems a lot more difficult than replacing Sanchez.

That doesn't add up to Bell replacing Sanchez, as he's not getting Sanchez's innings. He's getting back-end work with other guys getting incrementally more challenging work.

I would have rather seen Milledge go for a starting arm than X-Man for two bullpen arms. The Mets are going to take the division so you need three starters for the playoffs. Pedro, Glavine and Schmidt/Oswalt. El Duque goes to the pen to take the Sanchez spot.
