My take on how the Mets can be fixed, Part One

First of all, this season is a lost season. In my opinion, there is no way that the Mets are going to come back. So, if the injured players aren't ready by August 1, shut them down for the rest of the year. Sadly this year, and 2010 must be regarded as a rebuilding year. So how do you rebuild these Mets? Luckily, there are some propsects in AAA and AA that should be ready for the Major Leagues by the middle of 2010 and the beginning of 2011.
Starting Pitching
For the rest of this year, Jon Niese should be in the starting rotation, and Nelson Figueroa should be too. Figgy is not part of the future, but with a 2.96 FIP in AAA deserves a chance to be in the majors. He can't be worse than Livan Hernandez, right? According to Baseball Propsectus' minor league translation stats, Figueroa has a 3.67 DERA. (DERA is a defense independent pitching stat measuring what your ERA should've been based on your strikeout rate, walk rate, home run rate, and groundball percentage) Livan Hernandez has a 5.05 DERA. If Brad Holt, and Jenrry Mejia pitch well in AA this year, and pitch well in the beginning of their 2010 AAA season, (If they're there), bring them up as well. There needs to be youth in the rotation. Also, if you can dump Perez, I would do that, but sadly we're stuck with him. Roy Halladay is a free agent in 2010, but I wouldn't sign him just because it will be a lot of money for someone who is turning 34 in 2011.
2011 Rotation: Santana, Pelfrey, Niese, Holt/Maine/Mejia, Perez
Relief Pitching
Not much of a future in the team. The only one that we hear about is Eddie Kunz, but he has fallen from grace recently. The bullpen will probably be K-Rod, Parnell, and some other guys to fill out the relief corps. Kunz could be a middle reliever, if he has sucess at AAA, which he has not had so far.
Offensively
Catcher
Brian Schneider is a free agent after this year, and I would not resign him, if it was possible to sign Victor Martinez, though that is unlikely, seeing as how he wants to retire as a Indian, and has an option. Instead, I would resign Schneider, just becuase he's the best available, and have Josh Thole develop. Thole is a good hitter, batting .341/.409/.449 so far in AA, which is translated to a major league .291/.335/.408. The problem is that he isn't a very good defensive catcher so far, and his other position is first base, which he doesn't have enough power for. Which is why I would resign Schneider, have Thole in AAA for the rest of 2009, and part of 2010, and call him up in 2010, and have Schneider help him defensively, so he can be the starter in 2011.
Part 2 will cover the rest of the infield.
