neckdemon Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 ok so i don't know if this plan is completely realistic but it would be a significant upgrade.....btw we do have like 40+ million coming off the books. sign bengie molina sign matt holliday (i would change this to crawford if his option isn't picked up)...jason bay wold be nice too....lol. that takes care of our catcher and left fielder now pitcher...... ideally i'd love to trade for halladay....maybe with a package starting with jose reyes and that kid mejia.......if this happened we would have to sign a guy like chone figgins. how sweet would that be? 1- figgins 2- castillo 2- beltran 4- holliday 5- wright 6- molina 7- francoeur 8- murphy 9- pitcher if not...keep reyes and sign a guy like lackey 1- santana 2- halladay/lackey ...and the rest (i'd like another upgrade here but this plan already spends alot of money, although taking a flier on sheets with an incentive-laden deal would be an option)....bedard is also an option. this is what i'd like to see.....not what i expect will even be close to happening.

Vudu Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Chone Figgins huh... i think you'll see several of the RICH teams copy the Yankees' formula, SPEND SPEND SPEND UNTIL THEY BREAK THE EFFIN BANK. Hopefully the Wilpons won't be tight with the wallet, its much more fun when the METS are relevant. BTW, Holiday will be in pinstripes. ( real ones, not the uber lame METS ones, no offense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( real ones, not the uber lame METS ones, no offense) yeah chone figgins....... high obp nice batting average can play almost every position i'd take him anyway and put him at second base....lol. or even move wright to first and put him at 3rd as far as holliday goes. i'd much rather have carl crawford honestly. idk if they're gonna make him available though...we'll have to wait and see. if so...i'd jump on the carl crawford bandwagon right quick. anothet thing is that holliday is a boras client and so is bay...who are the other 2 guys i'd want after crawford. you could probably even put figgins in left field.

Carl Crawford is awesome. He's wasting his talent with the hapless Rays. IMO he's one of the best players in the majors. He'd def be an upgrade for you guys.

Otter Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Carl Crawford would be an ideal player for Citi Field. I'd target him and Lackey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I like Figgins. He can be a real pain the @ss. Why would the Mets trade Reyes when his trade value is not what it would be if he was healthy ? Why would the Jays consider trading their most valuable bargaining chip for a package of players when the main jewel in the deal is a SS who spent pretty much the entire season out with a torn hamstring ? If Reyes goes out the first couple of months and is the Reyes of old then come the trade deadline you might have something. Holiday I love. The Mets should throw major bucks at him.

DaBrick Wall Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Pretty sure CC is a free agent after next season... Mauer and Halladay after next year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mets should throw major bucks at him. i didn't say i thought it could happen. the jays do need a ss though and that kid mejia is a hard throwing sinkerballer. it was just a thought at a starting package......mostly because i'd like to see halladay as a met.

Arsis Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Mets want to win? They need to do everything they can to get two top of the rotation starters. They need to do everything they can to ensure they have the best bullpen in the league next season. Put Wright back on the roids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharrow Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 The Mets are like the Cubs. No hope, no matter how much they spend. They might be able to buy their way into the playoffs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
