I'm was just listening to Joe Benigno on WFAN, and a caller suggested the following trade:

Milledge & Pelfrey to the Marlins for Willis & Cabrera.

I'd make this deal in about a half a second if I could, yet Benigno and whoever is sidekick is right now that does the updates actually were hemming and hawing about it, and unsure about whether they would do it or not.

Am I nuts, or are they?

What is there to think about? Two proven major leaguers and two of the best young players in the game for two unproven rookies?

Hell, if necessary I'd even throw in Cliff Floyd to make a spot for Cabrera in the outfield, and a couple of more prospects besides.

If the Mets could make that deal and then pick up a decent everyday second baseman, they'd be the best team in baseball.

They might even be the best team in baseball without a decent everyday second baseman if they could make that deal.
