Sonnanstine is still young, doesn't allow a lot of baserunners and should benefit moving to the National League. I think he can be a very effective #4 and potentially develop into more which is all they need right now. I'd even take a flyer on Edwin Jackson if Tampa decides the price for Sonnanstine is too high. I think Penny is probably done but would be a nice guy to bring in on a minor league deal if there is no other interest in him. Any time you are on the 60 day DL with "right shoulder soreness" it is never a good sign.

I just dont see Colorado trading Street now. It makes no sense for them unless they are getting a top prospect. I think it is bs. Sonnanstine is far too hittable to ever be much more than a number 5.

The good thing about Cruz is that he strikes people out. Really besides Wagner they have/had no one who can get outs like that.

Sonnanstine wasn't as hittable in the minors and I think the hits will drop as he goes into his third season and with a move to the NL. In Citifield or whatever it is going to be called he'll be a 4.00 ERA guy with a 1.19 WHIP which should do quite well as a #4. Interesting sidenote, he's 4 for 10 batting lifetime which is more reason to get to the NL.

No clue how Cruz is Type A either. Interestingly Lyon is only a Type B so wouldn't cost the Mets a first round pick.

Rumor is the offer on the table was Heilman and Feliciano for Street and the Mets have pulled it. Don't know why Omar got cold feet on that one with how bad those two were last year.

I dont believe that the Rockies would do it. I think it is a ploy by Minaya to try to force someone they are interested in to do something

My guess is the Rockies were desperate for a lefty in the bullpen so were considering the deal to get Feliciano but then news broke they signed Embree and Minaya pulled the offer off the table to save face knowing they would no longer consider the deal.

Russ Springer is a type A too. the rule is a bad one for RP's because a non closer is rarely ever worth a number 1 pick.
