I would like Manny sure the guy can hit..but this offense wasnt the problem last year. Heres my take night in night out the offense had to battle the bullpen and i know they are major league ball players they should be able to do it 162 games but lets face it they were tired down the stretch and i really dont blame them.

We need pitching and a creative trade to gets us both pitching and a bat.

That depends how you look at it. I’d rather spend 25 mill to fill the big hole that is our 5th starter, and two spots in the bullpen with above average guys, than fill the one outfield spot with Manny. Those three would be a much bigger combined improvement over the nothingwe have there now versus the improvement of Manny over Tatis/Murphy/Church or however you shake that out.

For all of you that think Manny will get us to the playoffs without addressing our pitching staff need look no further than the Texas Rangers (speaking of Hank Blalock)…they have tried and failed for years to mash there way in!!!
Pitching First Please!!!

So give Wright Reyes and Beltran more money, but give Tatis a paycut?

Ahhh . . . I thought I read Blaylock was going to be a FA. I thought he could be an under the radar signing.

Also, the 5th starter, shich I have noted as a FA signing, could be gotten through a Delgado trade as well.

This does hinge on Murph being able to play 2nd, otherwise it’s Hudson I guess, unless we can relieve someone of a player that’s blocked or take a player to unblock someone, but I don’t have details.

As for thereal’s comments, this does hinge on only three years for Manny, so at the end of the deal, it’s average.

Which is fine if we have won a WS in there somewhere.

That would be great for 09, good for 2010, average for 2011, and terrible for 2012.

So obviously that means he will single handily get the Mets into the playoffs next year.

God, that’s something to fantasize about, can you imagine David Wright hitting in front of Manny. .330 easy, 35 hrs. Imagine the possibilities.
