Read: Now What, and Free-Agent Pitchers
In a must-read report for Newsday, beat reporter David Lennon asks, ‘Now what,’ and writes about what the Mets can do this season to help their chance of winning in 2010, such as, ‘No more front-office follies.’
…word up to that, as my great grandmother would say…
…by the way, Newsday, what in the world did you do to your website… it looks like it’s not loading right, except that it is… white text on a dark background… really…
…anyway, back to the Mets…
In a report for ESPN: The Magazine, Buster 
Olney looks at who will be the top free agent pitchers in this year’s off-season market, such as RHP John Lackey and LHP Jarrod Washburn.
…from what i can tell, like it or not, the Mets will have roughly $20 million to spend towards next year’s player payroll… one of the big complaints has been Omar Minaya’s lack of attention to fat, i.e., the edges, the bench guys, depth, etc… so, to go out and spend all $20 million on one of two players will mean going down the exact same road from the last few seasons…
…it’s early, but, my educated guess is the team spends on one big free agent, likely a bat, and then makes a series of trades to re-shuffle the roster…
