Any deal looks good to Zitos. He was already in decline mode (K/9), before the deal. SF was crazy, in years and amount. I don't think history is on the side of long deals for pitchers.

It's not like the Mets created any holes by signing Santana and getting rid of the guys they traded. Mulvey and Humber are middle/back end rotation starters, Gomez is only needed to fill in when Alou gets hurt and his speed should make him destined to leadoff but that spot won't open up on the Mets until 2020, and Guerra is years away.
