Every one knows the Mets are struggling to stay off the mash unit...Omar Minaya has to figure that there must be a upgrade in his offense, but which defensive position it must be.. He has Jose Reyes on the shelf for a month, but chances are he will let Cora make the best of his time in the lineup. I like Cora's grit to handle the lefties, but remember he is also playing hurt and could be a candle in the wind before we know it.. Does Minaya make a play for a infielder especially that can play SS or 2B???.. There has been much speculation about beleaguered Bobby Crosby, but he is always hurt - Next! How about Orlando Cabrera, the guy is a little older but can hit and even make a couple of appearances at 3B... It might not cost much....but his salary the Mets might not want to take on and Reyes will be back (hopefully).
Then you have the Carlos Delgado situation, which is a no brainier to let young Daniel Murphy play there...The other option is to put Murphy back in the outfield and get a 1B. It could be a handful of names that we hear like Todd Helton, Garrett Atkins, Adrian Gonzalez, Nick Johnson.....but if Delgado comes back, what do you do? There is no DH..... The Mets have to see how Delgado progresses..
Now that Pagan and Church are on the shelf, the Mets might pursue a big time outfielder I have heard the buzz that Carlos Lee and Matt Holliday might be in the picture.. Both Lee and Holliday make big bucks..I think Lee might be a better fit in the clubhouse....Again what can the Mets offer for one of these guys..Unless the Mets make a package deal that includes Oswalt and Lee... Then you go all in....
Guys you might hear in a trade rumors: Church, Niese, Evans, F-Mart, Tejada
As for JJ Putz, yeah it sucks that he is not in the Mets pen, but Parnell has earned himself a spot for the 8th. I seen this guy reach 100MPH...WOW! I think if Putz was healthy, they might of used him in a deal, Now that's done...
It's only a amount of time before we see what happens, nothing might not happen until July 31st... It might be too late by then for the Amazin's fate..
Shock us Omar - make a trade!
