The trade of outfielder Carlos Gomez, and pitchers Philip Humber, Deolis Guerra and Kevin Mulvey for Johan Santana is a good one and a good one for both teams. Gomez has Jose Reyes style explosiveness and Humber can throw strikes and can evolve to a 15+ game winner. The Mets get someone who can help them win now-adding about 5+ more wins, 100 more innings and a much less tired bullpen to the mix.

The reason why this trade is so important to the Mets is that last year the pitching staff did not have a losing streak stopper and did not pitch enough innings. That lead to an overworked bullpen, which blew more games than most Mets fans can remember and wish to count. What failed them in 2006 was the lack of an ace who can win 3 games in a 7 game series. Johan Santana changes all of that. Barring injury, he will give the Mets a solid 5 years of Cy Young contention. An anchor in the rotation, a mentor for Maine and Perez, and 200+ innings and 200+ strikeouts. He also takes the pressure off the young pitchers on the staff.

The Mets should have no problem beating out the Phillies for the NL East, but will have a hard time facing either Arizona or Rockies. The Mets as an offensive team have had the underdog status in our analysis in 7 game series against good pitching since they did not bring good pitching to the table. Omar has finally gotten the memo, pitching wins pennants.

The Mets projected Opening Day Rotation:

Johan Santana: 29 years old

Pedro Martinez: 36 years old

John Maine: 26 years old

Oliver Perez: 26 years old

Mike Pelfrey: 24 years old
