What I Would Do In The Offseason
Free Agents to let go: Alou, Pedro, Tatis, Easley
Resign: Oliver Perez, Rincon, Ayala, Matt Wise (Remember him? He was on the opening day roster but got hurt and came back and played one game and got hurt again and we never heard of him again. But he has GOTTA be better than Heilman at this point, right?), Delgado
Free Agents to Sign: Orlando Hudson, Tim Wakefield, Jon Garland, Teixiera, Manny Ramirez
Trade: Heilman, Duaner Sanchez, Castillo, Delgado
Trade For: Huston Street/Bobby Jenks/J.J. Putz, ANY relief pitcher, prospects, middle infielders for bench, cash
I figure outfield would be fixed with Manny and Evans/Murphy would play left if we can't sign him or if someone gets hurt. You need to resign Oliver Perez, he could fill a huge hole, Rincon and Ayala did nice jobs for he most part. If we sign Teixiera and Delgado we can trade Delgado for someone good like a bench infielder to replace Easley. Street, Jenks, or Putz could obvisiously fill the closer role (forget K-Rod, he will be too expensive, especially with Manny and Tex, and he will blow out his arm), while Hudson could play second and be a clubhouse leader and Garland can join the rotation. I already blogged about Wakefield and Heilman sucks beyond repair, at least he sucks in New York. Sanchez will never be the same, and everybody knows that Castillo needs to go and trade is the only way because of that stupid extension. Unless we release him, but then we won't get anything back (addition by subtraction?).

Or how about we just sign Manny, CC Sabathia, K-Rod, Teixiera, and every other big free agent, and then pay for their contracts by winning the World Series! That sounds perfect!
This is dumb
why not keep tatis and a pich hitter of the bench
keep delgado cause he is worth whatever they are paying him
keep alou cuz he always will bat .300
kepp easley cuz were not pating him much
get ride of everyone in that bullpen execpt smith
Also, we need to get a lock down closed like lidge or k-rod
and keep pedro and put him in the bullpen
i agree with getting cc but we dont need manny or texira
MURPHY AND EVANS ARE THE FUTURE
and dont get orlando hudson becasue you dont know what a hand injury can do to a player

Honestly, I disagree with trading Delgado. Resign him...yes. And keep him. $12 million a year for above average production. He won't be the '08 Delgado, but he won't be the '07 Delgado either. He was hot for too long. I'd say he knows what will work for him. (He should learn to bunt down the 3rd base side though : ) .
No way will we get K-Rod. We need more pieces than 1 superstar closer. So... why not mention Brian Fuentes? I'm all for getting Wakefield but i'm all for GETTING ANYONE for the bullpen. Get rid of Heilman, Schoeneweiss, and Sanchez. Get Castillo out of a Mets uniform by whatever means possible! Get Hudson, especially if he wants to be a Met. Keep Evans/Murphy in LF. Trade Ryan Church for a Pitcher??? Sign Man Ram.
