I think he wants to go to a team that will play him at SS. Although in a perfect world Young is the Mets number 2 hitter. I think the Rangers would ask for Murphy on top Niese, Parnell, Marte, and Evans. If you wnat Salty as well.

Delgado just wants to expand the Los Mets nation and get I-Rod, big mistake. Keep Schneider or bring Paulie back to keep everyone in line and he will back up David Wright in the clubhouse.

Delgado is the guy that needs to go. he is too inconsistant and disruptive for the Mets. Trade him while he has value, expecially when Manny + Dunn are still available 3. Trading Murphy is not an option. He has all the POTENTIAL to be the Mets answer for pedroia or youk...players who are gritty, can hit, and work to learn positions. He has potential and appears to have skills we need. 4. Young makes a ton of sense as long as it doesnt cost murphy. Honestly, I could see Niese, Marte, + Evans/prospect for Young working well. The Mets need to get more clutch, grittier, and hit for average. 1.delgado is right…signing Irod is a no brainer…good leader, solid hitter for average, has won before, and would be a nice compliment to Schneider.

Schneider outproduced him at the plate, that should tell you how bad he is. Saying he hit 295 in Detroit is very misleading, it gives the impression that he was, you know, good. His defense isn;t very good any more, pitchers hate throwing too him, although he still has the gun. Doesn't help he calls exclusively fastballs to help throw guys out easier. Schneider was also one of the Mets better hitters the last 2 months, which people don't realize. Replacing him with Pudge is at best (and I am being friendly), a lateral move. At best.

And as mentioned below, his game calling is awful. He calls a lot of fastballs to throw runners out. I'd rather trade for Yadier Molina (yes, THE Yadier Molina) than sign Rodriguez.
