If Marty Noble was GM...

Marty Noble is taking it to the streets on his new blog, Noble Thoughts (clever name).

From his latest post, entitled "Back at ya":

Why does Marty Noble always pick the fan mail written by people he intends to discredit and denigrate? Anyone else notice that? He never picks mail from people with whom he agrees or whose opinion he values.

Unless you're hacking into my mail, you have no idea what kind of messages I receive. Since camp began, nine of every 10 comments/questions I have received have involved Pedro Martinez, Manny Ramirez, Adam Dunn, Orlando Hudson and Ivan Rodriguez. The Mets should have signed all of them and also traded for Jake Peavy.

That would be quite a team he'd assemble. A quick look at a possible starting lineup for that Noble team, while somehow retaining all the other starters...

1. Jose Reyes
2. Orlando Hudson
3. Manny Ramirez
   
4. Carlos Delgado
5. Adam Dunn
6. David Wright
   
7. Carlos Beltran
8. Ivan Rodriguez
9. Pitcher

And the rotation...

1. Johan Santana
2. Jake Peavy
3. John Maine
4. Mike Pelfrey
5. Pedro Martinez
   

That is quite a team, Mr. Noble.

Is he serious? Is the wear and tear of the job getting to him? Is he just fed up?

We may never know...

(Ed. note: Yes, I realize Marty Noble doesn't actually want to sign all of these players. The way it was stated caught my eye, and I ran with it.)
