I happen to believe that Manny would bring a more positive impact on the team than Hudson. If the Wilpons REFUSE to sign Manny (which they are basically already doing) then go ahead and emphasize on Hudson. Yet it is still a bit silly to TOTALLY rule out Manny. And something should be done about C. Oh, And Happy New Year Met Fans. May It Bring Us Joy and Contentness.

He would be like Heilman A-Rod and Marbury all rolled into one. It would be the shortest honeymoon in sports. <b>The Man Child is too fragile for New York.

These guys have about 50 days til pitchers and catchers report and he's holding up the entire process. Sure a few top level guys get super rich, BUT the rest of the pack, who have to find homes, schools, etc are waiting and waiting to find out what team they will be playing for. Too much power for one man... The Union needs to sit down with Boras.

There is still time, and other than Tex and Ibanez, not that much has happened with position players. Seems like Omar was telling the truth that he wanted to deal with his 1st priority, pitching, well first! I think the rest (being satisfied with the lineup) is partly true, but also blowing some smoke. I'm thinking there will be at least 1 big move coming to retool the lineup. Might not be a Manny level move, and it will come after the rotation (Lowe) is dealt with. But could be interesting. LF upgrade is an obvious possibility. But I hope he manages to pull off a move for C or 2B, which IMO are much more glaring weak spots. C mostly because 2B is so bad. Maybe he can still snag Molina for not too much talent? Hey, he is saving money elsewhere! all hypothetical of course, but if he added the RH power bat at C, LF should be fine (although I still want to see a better RH option than Tatis), and even 2B can be "hidden" temporarily. not yet.
