Last Day of Sanity
Today is the last day before the free agent period begins. Rumors have recently stirred about the following coming to the Mets via FA or trade:
-SP AJ Burnett
-C Ivan Rodriguez
-2B Alfonso Soriano
-1B Aubrey Huff
-RP Danys Baez
-RP Billy Wagner
-RP Tom Gordon
...and so on.
Personally, I want no part of Burnett or Soriano. Burnett will get a massive contract, probably more than Carl Pavano got. But AJ isn't even close to being worth it. He's a career sub-.500 pitcher, is injury prone, has never pitched a postseason game, and the list goes on.
Here's to hoping the Yankees sign the kid. He'll keep Pavano and Jaret Wright company when they make their monthly trip to see Dr. James Andrews.
I'm hoping we add Rafael Furcal, Ramon Hernandez, Billy Wagner, Tom Gordon, and maybe even Manny Ramirez and Kevin Millwood. Mike Jacobs should be given a shot at first base, and Soriano trying to hit in Shea Stadium could be a nightmare.
Let the fun begin.
