There may be a curse on the Mets since 1986 if they sign any former Boston Red Sox players. That is my only concern with getting Manny. His numbers speak for themselves. But so did Mo Vaughns! I can just see it happening again but at 10 times the cost to the organization and the fans. Is he worth the risk? Just look at Brett Farve and the Jets. Maybe that is your answer.

This team was 34-35 and 6.5 games out of first when Willie got fired. They played the best baseball of any team after that point to even make it a race in September. Maybe they wouldn't have that "choker" label if they'd just rolled over after 69 games.

I just want the best team out there, preferably at their market value. I also think there are reasonable arguments going both ways on signing Manny. He's by far the best hitter available and plays the position we need to fill, but he's also on the wrong side of 35 and an established head case. Do you really want to spend 20+ million a year on a multi-year deal for that? I couldn’t care less how high the payroll is. I just want the best team out there, preferably at their market value.
