It should be getting an OF and lots of pitching help in RP and SP. Delgado should put up 20-25 HRs and 80-90 RBIs and I think that's good enough at the 1B position.

The bullpen is another issue, but the starters have been probably the best in the majors since the All-Star break. Has anyone else noticed how well the Mets starters have been since Peterson left?

Angels are not shy about spending money and I'm sure they'll match anyone's offer for their closer. Having said that, IF FRod comes to the Mets, Wagner will not be happy about being a setup man. As we all know that Wagner is not shy with the microphone, so it will be one disruptive bullpen all throughout the season. I see FRod signing with the Angels, especially if they sign Tex.

If Pedro wants upward of 10+ mil per year, then Omar probably won't sign him and I don't think it's worth it either. But if the deal is somewhere like 6-7 mil, I could see Omar signing Pedro for one year. As for #5 starter, I really would like to see the Mets bring up Niese. Yeah I agree.

Im sure there are cheaper options out there to consider although the names escape me. Anyway, I think this is a golden opportunity to cash in on Delgados resurgence which is by no means guaranteed and continue to restock the farm system. Im okay with keeping him either way, but it would be nice to go two years in a row without forfeiting picks and getting some long term value from delgado No guarantee he puts up Type A numbers in 2009.
