$56 million (the figure I'm reading in this morning's papers) could have bought a lot more of what the Mets really need

Like, a first baseman, an outfield and a bullpen. Glavine's older than dirt and I'll bet right now he pitches more innings this year than Pedro
What freaking good does it do for them to have Pedro leave the game after 100 pitches, or for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the 5th, ahead 2-1 and lose 7-2?
