AJ Burnett to the Mets?

Found December 06, 2007 on GlobalNYM.Blogspot.com:
PLAYERS: AJ Burnett
TEAMS: Toronto Blue Jays,  New York Mets

Aj_burnett
According to ESPN's Jayson Stark, the Mets have inquired on Toronto's A.J. Burnett. Burnett's opt-out effectively puts him on a one-year deal, but worse. Burnett is definitely the frontline type of guy the Mets have been looking for, despite the injury concerns. Those concerns plus the contract situation should definitely leave Burnett in the Mets' price range, however Stark says it's a long shot at best.

While the blogosphere jumped all over Stephen A, and then the story of John Maine's, um, cross-dressing exploits, we bring it full circle and question (somewhat) the relationship between MSM/print "journalism," tabloid rags and the 'Net.

Mets Considering Heilman for Starter's Role?

Via Hot Stove New York  |  December 05, 2007
It's not a bad notion, especially given the rumblings out there that the Nationals might be willing to offer free agent Livan Hernandez a two-year offer. I'm not sure I'm interested in Livan for one-year, let alone two.

Sweeny Murti of WFAN just reported that the Tigers have contacted the Mets about Dontrelle Willis, with the idea of spinning him off in a move to dump Willis's $13 Million Dollar Salary.

According to ESPN's Jayson Stark, free agent hurler Jon Lieber is garnering interest from the Royals, Astros, Reds, Mets, and Rangers. Lieber is expected to be ready for Spring Training after a foot injury. Might be worth the risk, however I don't think he fits the type of player that Omar is looking for.

Via GlobalNYM.Blogspot.com  |  December 06, 2007
The Nationals are looking at free agent Paul Lo Duca, who won't be back with the Mets after hitting .272 with nine homers in 119 games for New York. The Nationals like former Rule 5 draft pick Jesus Flores at catcher, but they're looking for some insurance in the event he can't handle the job full-time. Lo Duca still wants to play regularly, so Washington is probably...
