I’m Reading: about Votto, Crawford & Bloggers
Last week, the Cincinnati Enquirer asked Reds GM Walt Jocketty if he would trade 1B Joey Votto, and he said, “Oh God, no.”
Nevertheless, in a post to the Bleacher Report, Nick Adamo explains why, “Omar Minaya better make an attempt to bring Votto to the Mets.”
Votto, 26, who hit .322 with 25 HR last
season, will earn the league minimum salary next season, he is eligible for arbitration the following three seasons, and cannot be a free agent until 2013.
Meanwhile, Kevin, the Pessimistic Mets Fan, makes the case for acquiring Carl Crawford.
The Mets need pitching, according to the Real Dirty, and Andrew on Hot Foot believes the Mets could use Chien-Ming Wang.
Inversely, the Mets Citi Blog lists six free agents the Mets should avoid signing, such as Benjie Molina and Nick Johnson.
Lastly, Brian Costa of the Star Ledger asks four Mets bloggers to weigh in on the state of the team.
