Former GM's take on the winter meetings

This is very well said, especially after 15 rumors had Pat Burrell going to the Mets etc. "The important thing to remember during this week is that rumors are just that - rumors. Most of what you read or hear this week won't come true, so don't get too worked up about it. In fact, most of the news coming out of here won't be entirely reliable. Even this. In fact, you're wasting your time right now by reading this sentence." - Paul D., San Diego Padres I am thankful the Nationals signed Pudge to a 2 year deal to prevent the Mets from doing the same. Still don't understand offering Molina a contract (even tho we won't lose a draft pick and it was apparently 1 year 6 million). I am hopeful the Mets don't act on Corey Hart for John Maine. Mets need to keep pitching and add more, not trade it away for another average outfielder who strikes out a ton. Thanks for the continued posts, I'll try to post more frequently in the coming week, and will comment on any Mets signings or trades as they happen. Go Mets! - Anthony
