The Mets just could not go into spring-training with the core of the team healthy. THIS TEAM IS KILLING ME. It just couldn’t happen.

Sheets would be a great addition as well. Catcher has been a black hole since the Piazza days, so I don't even mind overspending for Molina at this point. I think for the money Bay is a good signing... better than blowing the budget on Holliday. But if we get anything more than .270 25 100 from him, I'd be really surprised. I can't think of too many players who have come in and had above average years for us. It's tough playing on the Queens side of NY for some reason. But even if all this does work out for us... I'm still scared about this season. Just too many question marks for me. Does Reyes get back to full speed? Will Beltran's phantom injuries leave him alone for a full season? Is Murphy legit? Will Wright's power return? I can't see us making the playoffs with all this looming. But I'd be the happiest guy in the world if I'm wrong! Go Mets! Yep, exactly right about Escobar Mike!

I agree with you on the Escobar deal. If it comes off, its the steal of the year. I hear you on Ben Sheets as well and it seems a lot of others are as well. Hopefully Omar is as well Good to hear from you Mike!

It's also nice to hear someone being positive as well instead of all the doom and gloom we've been hearing elsewhere over the past few months because of the inactivity.
