here's my idea for the mets, of course it won't happen but is feasible (and this is all if we're completely out of the running by the all star break):
trade piazza. i know, i know... he is the heart of the team and the big ticket draw. but he is still good enough that if we trade him to an AL team, we could get a few good prospects in return. how bout the angels? they could use another big bat in that lineup and they have a really good farm system. so we trade piazza, who do we have at catcher? well, either phillips (if he starts hitting) or move up huber or jacobs to play. then, in the off season, forget right field. re-sign garcia and spencer. they're doing a decent job for 14 million less than magglio is likely to get. so instead or right field, we go after a first baseman. richie sexson or carlos delgado. david wright should be up next year, so ou lineup could possibly look like this:
Matsui (though he's been hitting much better out of the two spot)
Reyes (mayeb he should lead off)
Floyd
Sexson/Delgado
Garcia
Cameron
Wright
Huber/Jacobs/Phillips
just a thought...  trust me, i love piazza, but if we could get some good prospects while dumping his salary, i'd do it. plus, maybe with the money we save, we COULD go after magglio. we'd likely have to if we get delgado to put a righthander between him and floyd.
most of all, i just pray that kazmir is ready to come up by then... i have a video of kazmir pitching if either of you want to see it. its funny watching the centerfielder, cause he basically just stands there cause he knows kaz is gonna strike the batter out. just pm me or im me on aim. same nick as this one.
