STEVE, LYONS IS 30 NOW! WHEN WE LET K-ROD GO? WERE U PLANNING ON THAT BEFORE STing? LYONS MAY CERTAINLY BE WORTH A LOOK; MY ONLY CONCERN WOULD BE THE ANTICIPATED DOWN YR AFTER UP YR MANY BP ARMS EXPERIENCE, SO FEW ARE CONSISTANT Y2Y. THE ONLY WAY I’D ACCEPT KEEPING PUTZ IS ON A RESIGN FOR POTENTIALLY HALF HIS OPTION 8.6M; BUT THAT WOULD HAVE TO INCLUDE HIS 1M BUYOUT. EITHER ONE, QUITE POSSIBLY MAY BE OFFERED A DANGLING OF A BUMP IN VALUE TO 8M IF HE INHERITED THE CL JOB PERMANANTLY.

I also would like to see Lyon ina Met uniform.I still believe maine would make the perfect set-up guy.I also think it would help him stay healthy.He is a team first guy with a bulldog mentality.He could set-up and learn the ropes for 2 years then become the closer when we let KRod go.

I love Lyon for this team a lot. The homerun stat you cite is very impressive. He would be a nice fit in our bullpen and I like the fact that he has closed before. I think he may be a little too pricey for a setup man, but he seems worth it.
