The Mets Are 7 Players From Contending

I was thinking about the 2009 Mets and here’s what we know:

1B Delgado
SS OverReyes
3B Wright
CF Beltran
P  Santana
P  Maine

A nice enough “core” (new cool baseball term that showed up in 2008, brought to you by the people that invented “walk-off”).

So all Omar has to do is go out and get someone to play C, 2B, LF, RF, 3/5 of the starting rotation and a closer.   The Mets are only seven players away from contending!
