The last time baseball's Winter Meetings were held in Music City, Omar Minaya was GM of the cash-strapped Expos, and he was shopping pitchers Bartolo Colon and Javier Vazquez. Now, Minaya has a big budget with the Mets, and he's the one looking for arms. Almost everyone seems to think the Mets must add at least one reliable starting pitcher this offseason -- except their GM. Minaya sounds ready to open spring training with a projected rotation of Pedro Martinez, Orlando Hernandez, John Maine, Oliver Perez and several young prospects vying for the fifth slot. "We don't feel like we have to do a deal for a pitcher," Minaya said Monday at the Opryland Hotel. "That being said, we are going to try to improve ourselves."
