The pluses are power from the catching position and his skills with pitchers. The minuses are that he will clog the basepaths and we will need to keep our fingers crossed regarding his physical availability. I just worry that when he have to keep our fingers crossed about something, it usually does not work out. I just hope he doesn't wind up on the DL excessively. Molina will bring plusses and minuses.

He, like Bay and Molina, needs us or he can go to AL to DH.

He has played an average of 138 games in the last three seasons. Only 5 other catchers can say that. Stop being so dramatic. e is 35 not 36, and he has a bad body????

The way I see it, Jason Bay and Bengie Molina is an upgrade over Gary Sheffield and Brian Schneider. No matter how the statheads want to spin this, the fact is that the Mets just got infinitely better. The way you get better is to upgrade wherever and whenever you can.

Molina + Bay + improved power #s from Wright, Beltran, Murphy, Francouer, Reyes will make us a solid 'scoring' team in 2010. Now, we need pitching depth and a good, defensive, 2B. Sheets? Hudson or Adam Kennedy. How do we get rid of Castillo? Yes, totally agree. Molina + Bay + improved power #s from Wright, Beltran, Murphy, Francouer, Reyes will make us a solid ‘scoring’ team in 2010.

But he calls a good game, works well with the staff, stays healthy, throws some guys out and hits a few dingers, he's definitely an upgrade over what we've had. Now Omar needs to grab a Sheets or even an Zambrano and perhaps get Orlando Hudson in here to help the chemistry.

We will have to hold our breath and hope. He might wind up being on the DL as much as Castro (another bad body who looked like he was 36) was. I might have preferred Barajas. Power is not a necessity from the catcher position, though. And with Bay, Francoeur, Beltran for a full season, and "possibly" Wright, power should be upgraded. Good arm and defense are more important behind the plate. He is a 36 year old catcher with a very bad body. We will have to hold our breath and hope.

We need 2 starters, not 1. That's the problem; that's the rub. Our entire rotation has 'health' issues. To expect all of them to rebound in 2010 is folly. We need depth in the rotation. i just pray Madden was all wet with his '22mm' number and we had 30+ to begin the off season. i agree, but i do worry how much we have left to go after pitching.
