In July, 2006, Omar Minaya acquired 24-year-old-LHP Oliver Perez as a throw-in when he sent Xavier Nady to Pittsburgh for Roberto Hernandez. Since then, Ollie has thrived in Queens, and now that this stud is an unrestricted free-agent, it’s time to lock him up long-term. If that means paying him $13-million-a-year over four years with a club-option for a fifth year, then do it; the Mets have been stealing his services since 2006 — it’s time to pay the man.
Scott Boras recently released his “book” on Ollie, and Howard Megdal at the NY Observer wrote a great article detailing why the Mets need to lock this guy up. However, Metsblog.com’s Matt Cerrone says that if Perez leaves New York, “nobody will lose any sleep over it.”
If you think that the Mets need to re-sign Oliver Perez and you will lose sleep over it if he’s not wearing #46 for the Mets next year, sign this petition below by posting a comment for Omar Minaya and Jeff Wilpon to see.

CLAP…CLAP…CLAP CLAP CLAP
November 18, 2008 at 1:43 pm

November 18, 2008 at 1:49 pm
PLEASE DO NOT SIGN THE 36 YEAR OLD DEREK LOWE, YOU”VE ALREADY MADE THE MISTAKE (MULTIPLE TIMES) OF SIGNING OLD PITCHERS WHO ARE CLEARLY PASSED THEIR PRIMES…
OLLIE IS 27, SIGN HIM TO A LONGTERM DEAL, HE”LL STILL BE DOMINANT BY THE TIME HIS NEXT FREE AGENCY ARISES!
November 18, 2008 at 1:55 pm
SIGN THIS STUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 18, 2008 at 1:56 pm
I would love nothing more than to see ollie waring cubbies pinstripes. HAHAHA ALL YOU DUMB METS FANS!
November 18, 2008 at 1:58 pm
is such a donkey. nobody will lose any sleep if ollie isn’t pitching at citi field next year?!?!??!?!?!?! ummmmm WRONG. You get an F Cerronne.. F!!!!!
November 18, 2008 at 3:08 pm
oliver perez is a very solid pitcher, underrated, and underappreciated. he’s been a rock in the mets rotation since we got him in ‘06, he’s a valuable piece to hold onto, even if it means 13 million a year…
November 18, 2008 at 3:27 pm
SIGN OLIVER NOW
November 18, 2008 at 3:21 pm
ollie’s a scrub
November 18, 2008 at 3:36 pm
anyone who says the mets are better off without ollie is fucking crazy — this guy eats innings and pitches his heart out. the mets have fucked him the last few years — tried fucking him when they took him to arbitration last winter, and are gonna try to fuck him again with a lowball contract offer this year. omar’s gotta get his head out of his ass and realize derek lowe and jon garland are NOT the f-in answer. Ollie is a perfect #3 in the rotation, SIGN HIM!!!
November 18, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Omar.. do the right thing….Sign Ollie
November 18, 2008 at 3:41 pm
i’m signing this petition – i want perez back at citi field
November 18, 2008 at 3:48 pm
awesome site. sign OLIVER, we want him back!
November 18, 2008 at 3:59 pm
i love ollie’s sideburns, i think hes the sexiest pitcher in baseball, not to mention he KILLS THE YANKEES!!! bring him back to queens!
November 18, 2008 at 4:36 pm
yes to re-signing perez. he’s a very solid pitcher, keep him.
November 18, 2008 at 4:48 pm
do it omar. pop the trunk — do it
November 18, 2008 at 5:02 pm
im a Yanks fan and even I love Ollie….
November 18, 2008 at 5:45 pm
that was a great article by howard megdal that’s linked above — really gives some good reasons to bring back oliver, and i can’t say that i disagree with any of them
November 18, 2008 at 5:52 pm
If the Mets don’t sign this guy we are going to be left with John Garland or Fat Brad Penny for more money than they are worth. Give Ollie his due so we don’t have to overpay a lesser player.
November 18, 2008 at 8:24 pm
HEY OMAR – RESIGN OLLIE NOW!!!!!!
November 18, 2008 at 9:03 pm
yuuup…i agree, you got my vote
November 18, 2008 at 10:09 pm
scrwe dat scrub i want CC
November 18, 2008 at 11:45 pm
nah CC’s too expensive, ollie is half the price and is going to win a FEW less games!
November 19, 2008 at 12:05 am
13 million a year over 4 years. ollie deserves the same deal if not better because hes left-handed
November 19, 2008 at 12:35 am
i heart ollie
November 19, 2008 at 2:09 am
4 years 55 million…where do i sign?

November 19, 2008 at 11:39 pm

November 20, 2008 at 1:37 am
my 7 year old twin boys are big ollie fans — they’d be upset to see him leave via free agency — i would love to see the mets bring him back
November 20, 2008 at 6:18 am
Ollie’s one of the top 5 lefties in ALL OF BASEBALL.
Did we forget that he SHUT DOWN the Phillies and Yankees this past season?
Ollie was never the problem, it was Rick Peterson’s stupid spiritual ass. That shit was too complicated for Ollie. Warthen made it simple and Ollie simply dominated.
Signing him now, while he’s in his peak years, will turn out to be the best move of Omar’s career.
Cuervo neat. Re-sign ollie. Do it.
November 20, 2008 at 6:19 am
This petition is awesome.
You got another name to add to the list right here.
Let’s make it happen. Re-sign Ollie. You can’t tell me Derek Lowe is the answer?
November 20, 2008 at 11:40 am
sign ollie!!
November 20, 2008 at 12:11 pm
u said it lets go mets — cuervo NEAT – RE-SIGN OLLIEE – DO IT!
November 20, 2008 at 2:45 pm
sign this nasty lefty, who cares if hes gonna cost 13 mil a year, he’s about to hit his prime. big mistake to let him get away
November 20, 2008 at 3:21 pm
oliver perez is the most inconsntistent pitcher on the planettt, i wanted dempster, but i guess he’s better than giving lowe’s oldass a multiyear deal or even signing ben sheets/aj burnett in their wheelchairs
November 20, 2008 at 9:26 pm
oliver perez es mi jugador favorito!!!!!!!!!!
November 20, 2008 at 9:48 pm
keep perez in queens!
November 21, 2008 at 2:53 am

i’ve been an ollie fan since the 2007 NLCS — how can we let this guy go?
November 21, 2008 at 7:18 pm
i’m not giving ollie 15 mil a year—maybe 10-12 a year thats IT but i’d give him 4 years, maybe 5 cuz hes so youngg
November 21, 2008 at 7:19 pm
i love Ollie too. just wish Will D knew that the mets didn’t make the playoffs in 2007. But Ollies’ performace in the 06 NLCS was mad good. Sign him
November 21, 2008 at 10:32 pm
i’m about to rip 5 shots of cuervo for ollie right now…
