According to Joey DeMayo of Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest. The Mets will make a push for 2B Orlando Hudson and look to put Daniel Murphy in LF (even though he is playing some 2B in the AFL). Through Joe's source Minaya's thinking is he will use Murphy in a platoon...

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Now that we have a great 1-2 punch at the back-end of the bull-pen, the most glaring problem is Scott Schoeneweis. I would like to see the Mets move Show but to do so they would have to obtain another lefty. Even if they decided to release him and eat the last year of his contract...

In Ken Davidoff's baseball insider he has this to say about K-Rod and Manny:

The Mets can't be passive as they have in the past two years with relievers, they must go out and find a closer, but where will they find one....... There's the big two in free agency in K-Rod and Brian Fuentes. I think if the reports are true the Mets have all but past on...

1. Jason Giambi to the Giants -I know, I know, he cannot play defense. The obvious downside of this deal is that the Giants would be stuck playing the Giambino at first base 120-130 times a season, which is ugly at best. But think about it this way: the Giants just went out and spent...
