He has no hustle in him. no sense of team, cannot play defense, and beats his wife. Gonzalez is a safer get than Cabrera. I agree that the mets will get neither.

Caberera is a horrible defensive firstbaseman. Plus he is overweight and doesn't put much effort fielding or running the bases.

We can all guess what happened to the Wilpons with the Ponzi scheme but there are no hard facts. Just a few weeks ago it was being reported the Wilpons made money due to pulling out of the Ponzi scheme before it was reported. The only fact that the Wilpons know how much money they lost and how much money they have and its their right to keep it between them and the IRS. As for the Mets spending they did sign Ollie to what most fans feel was a huge contract and that was after the ponzi scheme was reported.

My 15 year old niece has a blog. This particular blog is a good one for debating Mets rumors, hypotheticals, etc. The question is who fits better on the Mets Miggy or A-Gon? Geez I hate when some idiot shows up just to knock something or someone. Especially when he's knocking something that was splattered all over the news for 15 months. Get your head out of the sand and dont be such a tool. They havent spent a dime since the Madoff news broke and no matter what the mets say, those are the facts. So maybe you should use that lump between your ears to draw a logical conclusion based on the only verified facts; Madoff was convicted, hundreds of millions were lost, Mets were his biggest investor, Mets havent spent a dime since the news broke except to pick up Sheffields 14 million dollar contract for $400K.

Unfortunately I agree with Phil that I doubt the Mets will acquire any of them. It is also extremely important to remember that Adrian Gonzalez is a Gold Glove first baseman.
