Talk:Are The O's Ready to See .500?/@comment-67758-20060213123153

Benson is a decent pitcher, the Mets didn&quot;t want his salary next year when there are plenty of good Free Agents and when they have a bunch of good young arms about to become major league ready. Benson&quot;s can provide some stability to the young Baltimore pitching staff, that&quot;s without considering the magic Mazzone can perform. Patterson was abysmal last year, but has tons of potential and needed a fresh start. Baltimore might be the fresh start he needs.
