By ONE game each time. If my memories right, offense didnt score when we needed them to through the last series of the year each 2 times, and bullpen couldve won us like wat, 8-12 games where the gave up the lead, or a bunch of times couldnt keep the game close for the mets to stay in the game. First priority, we need a new good bullpen, or at least average. If our bullpen was as half good as last year, we prob wouldve won the division. And they definently need someone who can be that type of player like hudson.Great glove and a huge upgrade in offense, good clubhouse presence and leader. Face it, castillo helps no offense.

From there trade for a left fielder, use Murph or Evans (sell em high). The optimal goal would be Holliday but I don't know about his availability. From there trade for Huston Street. I know his numbers aren't incredible but he's a young kid who throws hard and would give us a jolt we need. Sign Everday Eddie and then snag Burnett and Garcia.

I am very pro-Manny or CC. Hudson has done absolutely nothing special in his career, other than win 3 Gold Gloves, which is indeed excellent. His career offensive stats are OK, and nothing more. Why everyone seems to think he is so great is kind of strange to me. I use the other guys as parallels as they were also players who we signed based on past successes (again, Samuel, Alomar and Slappy all had FAR better numbers before becoming Mets) who basically stunk here. The fact that they are all 2nd basemen is a coincidence.

Castillo is more than ready to take on that role, i can see it in his eyes and Marlon has already proven himself by creating statistical spread sheets for the team.

And he is not injury prone, he got hit by a pitch and ran into a catcher, that is where his injuries come from. which is the most economically sensible option:
