Yeah, the Mets board seems to be pretty happy with the deal, at least if we include MacDougal. I don't know, I don't really wanna give up Mac. Affeldt needs a change of scenery. I really question their mental toughness pitching in NY though. I kinda view those guys the same way I do Beltran, talented but they aren't real tough guys, and Beltran didn't light the world on fire under NYC pressure last year. If Affeldt goes through a slump or two it'll be interesting to see how he responds to the heat. He couldn't do it very well in KC, NYC will be a whole different ballgame.
