Do the Mets need to have a quicker hook- Fernando Tatis

Jose Valentin, Julio Franco, Marlon Anderson, and Moises Alou were all great pick-ups their first year, but they all stayed a year too long.I know the Wilpon's don't like to waste money but most of the guys I'm talking about, made less then 2MM a year and when Minnesota can cut former Met Luis Ayala ( 1.3 MM), there's no way the Mets should hymn and haw about these type of losses. Fernando Tatis was a great comeback story last year and it was a no brainer to bring him back at 1.7MM for the year, but it should be just as much a no brainer to cut ties if it appears he can't duplicate last years performance. Now I'm not advocating cutting Tatis just yet, but there's no way he should be starting or batting clean-up and with such a depleted roster the hook shouldn't be prolonged. Unfortunately the Mets don't operate that way and I'm afraid Fernando will be around until October. The Mets can't afford a guy hitting .059 with two outs RISP, ....
