I am also in favor (assuming that the extreme direction of blowing the team up is not taken) of going for several lower level acquisitions plus 1 major one. Getting Abreu, Laroche, Harden, and Lackey or Halladay would do the team better than Lackey and Holliday, There seems to be enoug tier 2 options that are close enough in production to the top guys (Holliday is grossly overrated). I definitely would like to take a flier on a Harden or Sheets, as I find John Maine to be useless, and worse of an option than Perez in the rotation. In reality, I really would like to only see Santana and Niese as fixtures, with a major #2, Perez is he can find his stuff again, and a Harden filling up the rest of the rotation. I would not shed a tear if Pelfrey, Maine, and the rest of the Bad News Bears disappeared from the major league roster. This whole thing is a delicated balance, however. I do not want them to be cheap and lose out on talent, but they need to find enough lower priced FAs that still can produce in order to fill numerous holes.

The fact that you wrote that almost made me spit out my morning coffee. The guy is old and has the current knees of Joe Namath. Lets file this under "Scenarios we will never talk about for the Mets again". Thanks! Michael, Michael, Michael nothing I repeat NOTHING should ever, ever, ever, make Matsui interesting.

Ike Davis has some pop folks and when he played he hit. His homers weren't of the cheapy variety they were bombs. I can't wait to see him at first in a year or 2 and his development there could make it hard for the Mets to go after anyone long term at first. Just throwing that out there.

On the broadcast last night Ron talked about how he'd probably only be able to play the OF 2 or 3 times a week. He's better suited to an AL team.

We need to get younger and not older with bad knees. We need a proven commodity in LF, this is a problem with this franchise - signing older players to deals when they are done and yes Damon is playing LF on the yankees, i think that's enough said on the matter next He won’t be able to be depended on as a full timer, it’s pretty silly.
