Toby Hyde of Mets Minor League Blog answers a reader’s question about how Dillon Gee, Tobi Stoner, Mike Antonini and Dylan Owen factor in the Mets major-league plans for 2010.

In a post to Mets Merized Online, Phil Hoops asks, “Does Aubrey Huff Make Sense For The Mets?”

Wendy Adair, from Stadium Journey, offers up her review of Citi Field.

According to Jerry Izenberg of the Star-Ledger, “There was no bigger New York baseball story than the 1969 Mets.”

In a video for On the Black, Kerel gives a tour of his Mets closet.

Lastly, Maury Brown from Biz of Baseball talks with Alyssa Milano about her baseball clothing line, Touch.

That linked story to Mets Minor League blog is from November 18th 2008. It’s almost a year old.

Lackey, Holiday, and Huff make great sense for the Mets. Especially cause it means NO MORE Daniel Murphy.

Reyes
Castillo
Beltran
Holiday
Wright
Huff
Frenchy
Molina (Bengie)
Pitcher

We MUST bring in two bats if we want to compete with the Phillies next season. The lineup above would put us close to the Phillies everyday lineup (I still think the Phillies offense is better). With Johan, Lackey, Pelfrey, Perez, and Maine our pitching would be better than theirs.

I think we would immediately become playoff contenders with the lineup above. Any thoughts?

Also – the above moves would keep our cheap owners payroll around what it was the last few seasons – maybe even lower.

I agree with the pitching, if we are going to compete with the phils we need to solidify the rotation, i want lackey or halladay def. I’m not a big fan of Huff and I agree about Holliday.

I’m a big believer that offense wins divisions and pitching wins in the playoffs. Look how we did in 2006 with an American league offensive lineup… We dominated and had worse starting pitching than we do today.

If we put together an AL lineup like we did in 2006 it will almost guarantee another playoff birth. And with the addition of John Lackey with Johan we would be World Series contenders. (Only if we significantly improve our offense).

John Lackey is not the only piece that will put us past the Phillies. We need to match their offense.

At Huff’s salary.. I’d rather have Delgado back. If we unload an Oliver Perez or a Luis Castillo I can live with it.
