John Smoltz's Age, Arm Raise Concerns For Mets

The Mets are missing the dynamic that creates champions. I believe Johan Santana, Wright and Murphy and possibly Francoeur have more desire to win than the rest of the team put together. I'm not knocking other players, but bringing in John Smoltz and/or Pedro Martinez would do more to inject this team with the shot it needs to win.

I don't think you'll see Martinez in a Mets uniform again. But the club does have a degree of interest in Smoltz. The condition of his arm is an issue, of course. But if he were to make 25 starts, that issue would fade. But how can they tell? And the club already has six potential starters with issues. But I would enjoy watching Smoltz pitch regularly.
