I'd sign Dunn for 3 years for 24mill or so. That would guarntee a power hitter in the Mets line-up other than Beltran, Wright and Delgado. I'd sign Manny for 3 years and 50-60 mill. I doubt that the money will work but I think it is close. The Mets still have to get a catcher, second baseman and two pitchers. Here's what I think the Mets should get before Spring Training. 2B: Hudson C: Pudge LF: Dunn or Manny P: Sheets and Perez If the Mets do not land Manny, they can still try Dunn.

Mention the crap that Manny pulled with the Red Sox and see how that Poll turns out. My guess is that the majority will agree with me-NO MANNY Take a Poll of ALL Mets fans, not just those on this blog.

Manny is an A-1 JERK. He can take his bat and cram it where the sun don't shine. 3) He threw a 62 yr old man to the floor simply because he couldn’t get the rich ballplayer the amount of free tickets Manny the jerk requested.

It's not like we're looking for a 20 game swing here. Sometimes, but even 3 runs in the first with a shutdown BP will win a lot of games. It’s not like we’re looking for a 20 game swing here.

Maybe his price drops, maybe they'll be able to trade Delgado or Castillo. So why say no when you don't have to?

I dont think the wilpons are cheap (they paid a ton to Johan, and you could argue that was a greater risk), I also think Omar is a really good GM. But I am perplexed as to why they see it as an either or sceniro (pitcher or hitter, not both) when those pieces together could really help the team generate additional revenue all of this said, check out youtube "manny dodgers" videos after you watch a few of them you get the sense he really liked LA, in additon to the article "Wallybackmann" is quoting, i'm beginning to believe Boras just wants to use the Mets as leverage to get Manny the best deal from LA does anyone know why the mets are so staunch about not paying lux tax especially since its only 17 cents on the dollar.
