Quote:then blew 7 games for the Mets (including one against the Yanks) this year and still made the All-Star team.
But lets face it, the Mets had NO ONE else that could represent them.
Like I said Im not a big fan of this trade but I still dont think everyone should jump on Benitez until he really fucks up.
Quote:but that is the exact same thought they had concerning Juan Acevedo, and we all know how that turned out.
I really hope you werent putting Acevedo on the same level as Benitez.
You never know though, this pressure problem he has can vanish and everything works out great(yea, its a stretch but a man can dream.) Also what i dont think alot of people realize is that Benitez isnt gonna be in Yankee pinstripes next year. His contract is up this year and if he doesnt perform amazingly hes gone, that simple. Thats why I think the Yanks dont have much to lose with this deal.
