RJ a Better Acquisition than Pedro

Funny how everyone is all over Mets with risk factors of Pedro and the fact that he's a malcontent and overpaid, but why I haven't I heard the same about RJ who is not only older than my mother and has a greater history of injury, but also while under a contract forced a deal to only the Yankees, and is signed at more $ than Pedro.  Not to mention the fact that he's going from NL to AL -- assuming the deal goes through.
