How about 62 in honor of the number of saves he had last year and also the year the Mets were founded? nickdomzz says:

What number is he going to wear now since Johan is 57? any guesses?

How about 62 in honor of the number of saves he had last year and also the year the Mets were founded?

Why would the Angels not want him back at that price?" Because: a) They want Teixeira back b) They have Jose Arredondo to replace him c) They may want CC if Teixeira signs elswhere d) Our deal was greater than theirs. “Am I the only one wondering why we were able to get him so cheap.

The mets finally made a trade! Now they need to get Punto, Lowe, and some relievers. I agree with one of you guys, we just can not only have rodriguez. we need a couple other guys too. Thank god.

Take the Rockies offer and trade Feliciano and Heilman for Huston Street 2. Either sign Raul Ibanez or eat Castillo's salary, cut him, and sign Orlando Hudson 3. Drive the price up for Derek Lowe, but go aggressive after Ben Sheets 4. Sign Randy Wolf or John Garland, who ever is cheaper 5. Take a flier on Chad Cordero and sign him okay, time for the next moves beyong KRod…

The man is finished and a choker to boot. If we want his "presence" in the locker room, invite him to Spring Training as an instructor. The Pedro rumors better be false.

The only thing that really worried me was that in the postseason he looked hittable, and frankly I just don't want to go to the playoffs but actually win them. That being said, we still need good middle relief to help out the 7th and 8th. If we get Washburn we should make a push for sheets. I’m ok with Krod.
