There's a fun little poll up on ESPN, comparing the Mets and the Yankees. As of now, a little over 40,000 people have voted and not too many surprises in the bunch, with most fans (over 60%) expecting both clubs to make the postseason next year. Naturally, everyone is heralding the Pedro signing as the best signing by either club while the Yankees take up the top three posts in the worst signings department, with Jaret Wright coming in first (51.5%), Carl Pavano second (24.3%) and Randy Johnson third (11.7%). I'm pretty sure that if the Womack signing was an option, it would have ranked highly as well! I was a little surprised at the slight edge given to the Mets outfield and very surprised that two-thirds of the country sees the Mets as being in better shape for the next five years. I don't have a great understanding of the Mets' farm system but didn't they just trade away their two best pitching prospects this winter? The Yankees system is definitely bottom-heavy with far more raw talent in the lower levels than in the top levels so maybe the Mets are the same way. If any Mets fans with an understanding of their system stops by, please let me know.

There's also another poll running on ESPN's main page asking where the world thinks Nomar is going to go. The only places that think that he's going anywhere other than the Yankees are California (the Dodgers), Ohio (the Indians) and Texas (the Astros), which just happen to be the three other teams that he is said to be considering. Come on, Nomar, feel the peer pressure!
