Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3687788, member: 27"] Agree we need more help with starters and relievers. Honestly, we don't really need all the firepower Springer would bring. It would be better to spend $8 million on a solid CF, good hitter and good fielder, $8 million on a good starting pitcher and $8 million on a good relief pitcher, preferably left handed. The problem is, there isn't a free agent CF out there that fits this description. I think there are still teams out there that would like to cut payroll and have players that address the needs of the Mets. Would not be surprised to see Sandy and Jared go in a different direction and do a trade to get a CF and a SP or LRP for someone like Familia, where the net affect adds $10 million to the Mets' payroll (and drops $10 million for some other team). It will be interesting to see how the new Met brain trust handles this. [/QUOTE]
