I agree with most of your points. I don't want the Mets to overpay for Holliday (Mark Texiera money) or Lackey (Johan/CC money). If the Mets can get either of them for a more reasonable price, I say do it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, in a market like this, that doesn't seem likely. Some team will be desperate enough to bite and fork out the big dough (hope it's not the Mets). Neither Holliday or Lackey are top-notch super stars of the game (Pujols, A-Rod, Tex, CC, Johan) and they shouldn't be paid the same. But them the question is - if we don't get one of these two, who do we go for? I wouldn't mind seeing Wolf, as he seems to be one of the more consistent choices. The other names that are being mentioned seem to be risky. I'd go for one of the other names but I wouldn't overpay in dollars or contract length (Piniero, Marquis, Sheets etc.). As for left field, I like the idea of bringing in Cameron on a short-term contract. He can provide excellent "D" and some pop. Also, getting Benji Molina as a short-term fix at catcher would add some pop (he hit a bunch of homers in a pitchers park last year). So if we add Wolf, another starter, Cameron, Molina, I wonder if we would have money to go for one of the Brave's former relievers. I would love to have a Soriano or Gonzalez at the back end. I'd like to see Murphy at 1st for another year. He has a lot of potential and if he doesn't bloom for the Mets, he'll do it elsewhere. I'm not in favor of trading our "prospects." Instead lets keep them and sign free agents. The "prospects" can be traded mid-season if necessary or can be used to plug holes as injuries occur. Just my 2 cents. Good article.
