Who Darvish?

Wow. Apparently this guy named Yu Darvish, a Persian-Japanese pitcher of age twenty-four, is one of the best pitchers in the world. As in, four consecutive seasons with an ERA under 2. Admittedly that's in the Japanese leagues which are not quite the Major Leagues, but a) I've always thought that it was hitting stats that are inflated in Japan, and b) Sandy Koufax never ran up four consecutive years of sub-2.00 ERA, so one way or another I think this guy's pretty good. And there's some thought that the Mets might be in the conversation to sign him, at least if they aren't going to become a shriveled husk of a team. Boy would that be awesome. Santana/Darvish/Dickey/Mejia/Niese-or-Pelfrey looks pretty good to me for a 2012 rotation. I still think their top priority if they're going to reinvest some of the 70 million coming off the books this year should be resigning Reyes, but I might also be willing to say that their second priority ought to be trying to get Darvish. That would just be amazing.
