Put Cabrera at 1st, Wright at 2nd, sign Arod for 3rd along with Reyes at SS. Wow. That's a productive infield. You start Milledge or Gomez whichever one didn't get traded in right next to Beltran. Let Alou and Endy share left and watch the runs pile up. Fantasy time, but how about Milledge or Gomez plus Pelfrey & 2 other prospects for Cabrera.

At least I like Cabrera better than A-rod. That's certain. I don’t like the idea or dislike the idea.

"top prospect". thats funny. well, i guess he's one of the yankees top prospect which makes them pretty lame. florida wont be that stupid. if hughes and joba the hut lard ass arent included, it never happens. miguel cabrera is a lard ass head case himself, who cant run, cant field and will soon eat his way out of being a good hitter too. plus he's a boras guy. i wouldnt even do milledge and pelfrey for him. PASS on the lard ass and keep milledge right where he is. once milledge wins the rf job FOR THE F-ING THIRD SPRING TRAINING IN A ROW and finally gets the job, the mets will have a potent rf bat and very good all around player. names like melky cabrera and ian kennedy wouldnt come close to doing this.

No reason not to try. I would actually think the Mets could come closer to getting ARod, though, than Cabrera. I'd be a-OK with either one and I would totally agree that Cabrera and a lesser pitcher would be a great offseason for the team. I agree. No reason not to try.

And there's no reason to think the Mets cant sign this guy long-term. He's not a Boars client. He’s a FA after 2009 so you get at the min. two years for him.

NO THANKS. Keep the young guys, unless you can trade for players you can control for 3+ years.

My guess is the Yanks are going to be reluctant to part with Joba or Hughes in any deal so it comes down to whether or not Florida would prefer a hypothetical pairing of Melky and Ian Kenney to Lastings and Pelfrey. I'm sure bias fans of each teams have their opinion as to which duo is better, so it's really up to the Marlins. As for the other LA team who doesn't score A-Rod, you're right, maybe they outbid us. It's hard to say. Doesn't mean the Mets shouldn't try. Another hitter at this point is not the end-all be-all necessity anyway, so what's the harm in inquiring?
