Deals

As far as deals, (many Mets fans are going to kill me for saying this) I think the Mets should not pursue "Big Bucks" K-Rod.

He's prone to injury and is asking for a six-year deal, twice as long as Minaya wants to give.

Whether or not Omar goes for the panacea is the question.

I think the Mets would do better pursuing Brian Fuentes. He was up for the State Farm closer of the year award, and I think he would be a great closer for the Mets.

Because Fuentes is cheaper, they can think about boosting their 'pen and sign Oliver Perez under arbitration.

As far as Perez is concerned, the Mets should sign him, rather than going after bigger dollar pitcher Derek Lowe. He is working well with pitching coach Dan Warthen and could possibly win 15 games this year.
