TOO BAD FANS AREN'T ASTUTE ENOUGH TO REALIZE. 2010 SALARIES: J-ROLL - 7.5M RAMIREZ - 7.0M REYES - 9.0M PERSONALLY I DOUBT VERY MUCH EITHER ROLLINS OR RAMIREZ HAVE THE TEMPERMENT TO SURVIVE NY ATMOSPHERE OF NEGATIVITY AT SLIGHTEST BUMP HECK WHENEVER RAMIREZ PLAYS US, IT'S OBVIOUS HE'S HELLBENT ON A MISSION TO OUT-PRODUCE JOSE. WHILE HIS GLOVE IS CERTAINLY MORE SUSPECT, HIS BAT MORE POWERFUL, HIS LEGS & SPARK AREN'T SUPERIOR. THERE ARE ONLY A HANDFUL(5) TOP SS ON BOTH SIDES OF PLAY & REYES IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THEM & WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED BY ANOTHER. VERY UNLIKELY.

I'm the fool that suggested more silly things than that. The Mets won't do both. I prefer to sign Lackey because I don't trust Halladay's heart. I also like trading with the D-Backs to get Haren and Snyder. I hope I'm wrong, but it seems like the Mets won't do ANYTHING of note. Omar's just playing out the string... No berating here.

I actually think Crazy Pelf could be better. I am not against getting Marquis for a 4. Like Hudson, his star faded late in the season. mets do not need late faders, if you know what I mean, not as their number 2. As for the use of the word "Plan" in the topic: you have to be kidding. Somewhere in the mets' offices there is a bulletin board with the pictures of FAs splattered all over it. On a nearby table is a package of darts. Welcome to the Omar Minaya War Room. Plan A--first three darts; plan B--first two darts. I do not consider Marquis a 2. I actually think Crazy Pelf could be better. I am not against getting Marquis for a 4.

I love hearing these things, they're very entertaining. Can you elaborate on why you nicknamed Jose Reyes, I assume it’s him, “Stupid.” I love hearing these things, they’re very entertaining.

First, Pagan's numbers are from a small sample size. And second Bengie Molina really really sucks. We already have Francoeur, do we really need another sub .300 OBP guy in the lineup. Mets would be best off signing Holliday, putting Pagan in right, and non tender Francoeur or sell high on him. I'll take Zaun, Hernandez, Navarro, Snyder or Blanco to catch, and Johnson on a one year deal to play first if he'll accept. You’re ignoring two things.

Bringing Carlos back with an incentive laden deal is the Mets only approach unless it's felt his major league career is on life support. Many Mets fans attach a premium to Carlos' services. I'm not one of them. He is a liability in the field with his limited range and lack of upper body flexibiliy. His hands are not soft. Occasionally he crushes a pitch but his hitting is problematic against left handed pitchers who can control even a middling slider. His batting problems involve the many moving parts he needs to synchronize, day in and day out. Too many aspects of his hitting are not dependable. Hot streaks come and go, but bad techniques always cause problems over the course of a season. Carlos Delgado is an asset with a declining value, both on the field and in the marketplace.
