Comments on: Mets Meeting With Agent Scott Boras Tonight http://metsmerizedonline.com/2009/11/mets-meeting-with-agent-scott-boras-tonight.html A New York Mets Blog For Diehard Mets Fans Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:23:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: theonlymaskman http://metsmerizedonline.com/2009/11/mets-meeting-with-agent-scott-boras-tonight.html/comment-page-1#comment-32221 theonlymaskman Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:29:38 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=15735#comment-32221 That's a pretty lame list. Maybe the best strategy is to totally ignore the Boras clients and concentrate on FA's that can actually be signed to reasonable contracts. That means forget about Holliday. Is he actually worth the effort to confront Boras? I say no; use your energy profitably. The rest of the list is essentially forgettable. That’s a pretty lame list.

Are you saying that I shouldn't assume that the Reds would want more then Castillo in return? Sorry I am just a little confused.

I just read that they are in fact looking to trade him. With that said, maybe the Mets should go after him, although, the Reds want to get rid of money, so trading Castillo to them would not help the Reds much, unless we included some money.

Are you kidding me? First off, the Reds would be absolutely crazy to let him go. Secondly, if they were that crazy, it would take a package deal that would be WAY TOO much for the Mets to handle, unless it included Wright. Trade for Phillips? Are you kidding me?

Wright's home run numbers are down, every other number is up (something NO one wants to realize). This year was unreal with people out and maybe Wright had no protection either (another thing no one wants to realize, its easier to kill him) In other words, I'm not sold on Ankiel Ankiel is hot and cold and a horrible fielder.
