The recent trade of starting pitcher Kris Benson from the New York Mets to the Baltimore Orioles could help both teams. The Mets are getting a potential closer and a prospect while Benson as an Oriole could help anchor a starting rotation that fell off the planet after the All-Star break and a solid start last season. Benson brings experience and presence to a rotation that that needed an ace. I was surprised to see the Mets trading away starting pitching but they needed some more relief help so grabbing Jorge Julio and need for more right handed pitching it seems like a decent move.

Baseball aside, I am wondering what Benson’s outspoken, pin-up wife, Anna Benson, who has made an enterprise out of being sexy thinks about the move. I mean she is number 48 on the list of FHM Magazine’s 100 sexiest woman of 2005. I wonder if something Anna Benson said or did caused the move?
