Why the Red Sox? The Mets have to have at least as much money as them for a FA, and actaully need Tex a lot worse.
Can’t just look at 2009 and what you hope Delgado gives you. Think about building a sustained winning program (like, say, the Red Sox do?).
This is a FA signing, not a trade, so it isn’t an issue of the Sox having better prospects.
I also would have liked Loretta as a bench guy. Punto for 1 year could work too (gives flexibility, if not a great bat).
Agree Stickguy, that contract for Tex will not kill either team financially. It makes no sense to me at all. It’s an extra 8 million this season. Imagine if you can trade Delgado for that young #5 starter and they are under cheap contract for 3 more years.
That’s like getting a 24 million dollar player for 2 million.
Thus a 8/160 contract turns into a 8/126. 15.75 million a year for Tex? A bargain.
yup. Tex + E. Jacksson (or sonnanstine, or someone like that) will be cheaper than Delgado + Garland in 2009. And way better.
and in 2010+, the better part grows!
I have come to grips with the fact that we will not be going after Tex but I was really hoping we’d make a run at Sheets.
Loretta got one year because he’s 37, Punto just turned 31. Big difference.
Rick Ankiel going to the Braves will be debunked, it makes absolutely no sense.
Also, Pettite would never oplay for the Red Sox. No way, no how. He has already confided to many, that it’s the Yankees or bust. He didn’t even feel comfortable going to LA to be with Torre. No way he goes to the Red Sox.
I have a feeling Omar grabs Thames for LF.
