I would send Wilpon's jet to pick up Keith and fly him to meet with Tex. I can see the headline now "MEX TELLS TEX "COME BREAK HEX!"

Not even a peep other than from bloggers. It's too much of a coincidence not to have a 1st basemen knicknamed Tex when you had one of the best, known as Mex. I guess the problem is having a deal in place to move Delgado as soon as you get Tex's name on a contract. I have been thinking of Delgado back to AL and Toronto with Heilman getting some relief pitching, to free up 1st base. 1st might not be a pressing need this year, but what about next year, unless you tell me that the Mets can get Adrian Gonzalez. I like Tex better. I can’t believe that there has been no consideration by Omar about putting Tex in that infield and lineup. Not even a peep other than from bloggers.

Look, they will be hard-pressed to outbid the Red Sox. The Angels are the incumbents. And the Nats and O's are "home" for him. It wouldn't happen. It is just staggering how, with this level of demand, the Braves mismanaged their acquisition and trade of him.
