Always nice when I stumble across a non-Mets blogger making some fun Mets commentary.
Here’s one and here’s an excerpt:
Then there’s the second base dilemma, also known as “how much was Minaya drinking the day he gave Luis Castillo a four year contract?” I’d wager Omar was part of the test project for legalizing absinthe in the U.S. Perhaps the Mets can dump him (that is Castillo) somewhere–the White Sox are reportedly moving Alexei Ramirez to short, and perhaps Castillo would be just the kind of guy Ozzie Guillen would like around in the clubhouse to abuse. That has to be worth something. What should the Mets get in return, you ask? Peace of mind, my friend, peace of mind.
And if you’ve read this far, it’s time for the portion of the program known as “come dream with me” or “all free agents can be ours.” It’s a ridiculous feature of any and all hot stove essays, so who am I to tamper with tradition? I want Manny. He was so good when he came to LA last season, he made me a Dodger fan. That’s true baseball magic. New York should be big enough to deal with his flakiness. And I love the idea of a top of the order that goes Reyes-Beltran-Wright-Ramirez. The other 5 guys might not matter. And if that can’t happen, maybe go for Adam Dunn for a high-salary/low-years deal? After all, in my fantasy I’ve punted on defense, so what the heck.
