what a terribly run organization…

They threw money around like it had no consequences when they gave Cabrera and Willis those unreasonable extensions… and now they can’t afford to keep their good players. Worse yet, they don’t really have the prospects to replace the players they want to trade because they gave them all to the Marlins in that trade…

They should just suck it up and suffer through 2010, the final year or Willis, Bonderman, Robertson, and Maglio Ordonez’s contracts. But it doesn’t look like they can afford to.

Inge has TERRIBLE knee issues, and he hit .230 last year. No thanks, despite Francesa’s inexplicable love affair with the guy.

I can’t imagine the Tigers would actually trade Edwin Jackson… he’s only going to be 26 next year and he’s filthy… but if they do the Mets need to be ALL OVER him. He threw 214 innings last year with a 3.62 ERA (which was much lower until he imploded at the end of the year). That guy is a stud.

Granderson… eh… isn’t he basically Mike Cameron only younger? And he would cost much more to acquire than Cameron would

Did he like Inge a lot?

I remember I was watching Mike Francesa when he “liked inge alot” about 100 times.

Oh yeah, I know that I was just throwing that out there. As far as I know there hasn’t even been any rumors of Cabrera being available, that was more of a hopeful dream for me and probably a bunch of other Mets fans.

I think expecting the Tigers to trade Cabrera is pure fantasy at this point. He’s got a market value contract for a player of his caliber. And if he were available, you could bet he, Granderson and Jackson would not be available in the same package, since they could get more for them separately.

Why is he an extra player? He can play LF, crank out 60 extra-base hits, steal 20 bases, draws 70 walks, and give the Mets the best defensive outfield in the Majors.

If the Mets wanted to they can trade with Detroit and fill just about all there problems. Jackson, Granderson and Cabrera would fit very well in Citi Field.
Jackson fill one of our pitching needs and doesn’t make that much money.
Granderson would be a great fit for LF and can give us 20+ HR’s with a lot of triples and stolen bases.
Cabrera……well that guy can just hit and I would love to have in the Mets lineup and playing first base.

I have no idea what it would take to get them but if the Mets use Pagan, Murphy and a bunch of prospects it would get it done. I know people will jump on this cause of how many prospects it would take and the farm would really suck after this but look at it from the other side. All 3 of those players are 27 or younger and you are filling 3 big spots on the team with very talented and young ball players by giving up a bunch of guys who may never make it as a pro.

Burn.

But I’d like to see the Mets take a crack at Granderson. Solid ballplayer, terrific defender who I believe would hit well in Citi Field.
