The Mets wouldn't have much competition signing him and could tuck him away in Buffalo, then call him up as a starter or reliever.Number two would be Mark Teahen, the bench needs a left handed bat and Teahen can play everywhere except catcher, center and short. I know he only hit .200 last year but that's exactly why he could fall to the Mets on a minor league deal, beside Depo drafted him in 2002. In just 2009 he play...
