I think its because we knew they would sign him yesterday, and by the time it was official, the climax had already been reached. Anyway, I'm still excited. K-Rod! @FSMetsFan

I guess I can understand since the Mets spit the bit twice and we as Met fans are kind of holding back feeling all excited and stuff about signing K-Rod. I'm excited because the 9th inning is going to be electric, especially the first time K-Rod's music hits and he makes his way to the mound at Citifield. I do however feel like the Mets need to build a bullpen besides K-Rod. K-Rod is a nice start, now building to bridge to Rodiguez is another job I hope Omar is up to. Least excited?

Sign Irod to catch. I agree, sign Randy Wolf. This is a 15-16 game winner on the Mets. he is 2 years removed from last real arm trouble. And, he just kills the Mets! NO to DUNN or Ibanez... SIGN MANNY - 4 YEARS, 70 MILLION DOLLARS. Trade Schnieder for Aubrey Huff. he is 31, left handed bat, Can play first, third and OF, hit 32 HRs and 102 rbi last year. Sign Irod to catch.

The Mets will try there best to move Heilman and Sho, and they may be successful. They may indeed bring back Street to set up for K-Rod. But there is no way a team is going to take Castillo off the Mets' hands. The Mets don't want to pay $18-million ... it's similar to when they tried all they could to not pay off Cedeno for that horrible signing back in the day. The team, and the manager - if you listen to his interview - are completely satisfied and confident in a Murphy-and-Tatis platoon in left field. You guys forget. The team missed the playoffs by one game in each of the last two seasons. This team doesn't need an overhaul. Schneider - who had decent production in the 8th spot last season - will stay, as is Castro. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd be perfectly fine with the team the Mets have going into the season, as long as they add or retain (Perez, Martinez) a few starting pitchers and add a few new faces to the bullpen.
