In a fantasy world… Hudson would come in and bat second in the lineup. (I feel he is the PERFECT fit for that spot and at second base) And Andruw would hit in the 5 spot between Beltran and Delgado. He would have a year like 05 where he hit 51/128 or 06 where he hit 41/129. But, it isnt a perfect world so, stay away from Jones.

They signed Bard? When did that happen? Damn! I was hoping that the Red Sox would need a right handed hitting cathcer to platoon w/ Vartech. I was hoping we could get one of their young’ins in return. Oh well…

Boston does not need R.Castro. They Just signed Bard.
I agree with lifelong. If the Mets wanted O Dog we would have him by now. Andruw? Please. I have enough heartache now. How about we sign Hudson– Then get a decent OF. One more SP would help as well.

Why would the Mets want another “older declining” outfielder? We just signed Tatis to platoon in LF. Could it be that the Mets GM is actaully being honest when he has stated for the record several times that he is fine with a platoon of Tatis/Murphy and Castillo starting being given a shot to redeem himself? If the Mets saw it as a priority to obtain Hudson don’t you think we would have gotten him at this point?
If anyhting I see the Mets trading Ramon Castro and a prospect to the Red Sox for one of their young pitchers if we do anyhthing more at all before spring.

I wouldn’t mind this trade. I know the Mets aren’t losing anything salary wise but it’s good that Jones only has one year left on his deal. Maybe he’ll have a decent season withou the pressure of eing “The Man”. Just ridding ourselves of Castillo is a plus too. Hudson isn’t great, but he’s certainly an upgrade in my opinion.

metsrock-
They don’t want castillo, but they would do it just to get Andruw Jones off their team. You know why? Because Jones is finished. Like he is a worthless player at this point.
The past 2 seasons he hit .222 and .158. Seriously, look at those numbers again. He’s overwieght and looks incredibly old. I know he says he’s 31 but I feel like he’s pulling an Edgardo Alfonzo on teams. I think he’s closer to 40. Anyway, just know that if we trade for Jones, he is not even starter worthy. Maybe a 4th or 5th Outfielder. But I think he’s done.

but why would LA want Castillo if they already have Blake DeWitt? unless we give up another person or two and get DeWitt in return with Jones… I’d rather have Hudson though.
