I like'em. I would rather get O-Dog to play second though. What is wrong with Minaya?

I fully expect the Mets to sign have a real non-threat "backing up" Gimps Hornsby. I was hoping the Mets might consider doing something a little bolder and sign Eckstein (who can field, and had tons of winning experience) or Grudzielanek (at least HE has an AL gold glove in his recent past and is a grind out, hard work type of player the Mets need more of). If nothing else, either one of them will push Gimp, hopefully right out the door.... and besides, we're gonna need someone at 2B when Gimps needs 3 months of rest. Argenis Reyes. Damion Easley. Nick "Worst Position Player in 2007" Punto. NOT the answers. That the Mets are interested in this rubbish doesn’t surprise me in the least bit.

You would have Hughes under contract for quite a while, and could flip Cano to the Dodgers for Kemp. You also save approximately $12-15 million a season which you can then use to help pay for a run at Manny. Your 2009 roster Reyes Church Wright Manny Delgado Kemp Castillo Schneider P Santana Hughes Pelfrey Maine Niese Hypothetically… yes.

Though, I suspect if the Mets throw enough money his way, that won't matter. Not that it really matters, but Punto came up in the Phillies organization.
