Good on the Mets for extending Rick Peterson as well. The Braves built a National League East dynasty on pitching. Why the heck can't the Mets? Well I think we have a great chance.

One can't help but look at the young arms getting ready for the starting rotation and think that there has to be some sort of Glavine/Maddux type combo in there.

I tread lightly here because we've had big expectations for young talent in the past that didn't materialize (Paul Wilson) or simply materialized elsewhere (Jason Isringhausen). Still, with Pelfrey, Humber, Perez and (an injured) Dave Williams waiting in the wings we could build something great.
