It lists the Mets as favorites to not only get Haren and Blanton, but
Willis as well. Obviously we wouldn't get all 3, but... What's
changed with Dontrelle's pitching between last season and 2005 that
makes him so much worse? Is it just the hitters caught up with him
and he's incapable of adjusting? What's his fastball topping out at?

At least if they traded for Dontrelle they'd get a bat that might
outhit the team's catchers (and Delgado if he has another clunker year).
