" The Mets don't seem inclined to pursue top free-agent pitcher John Lackey, who will surely shoot for a $100 million-plus contract in light of A.J. Burnett's $82.5 million deal. They do want to add a solid starting pitcher (they may try a do-over on Randy Wolf), but their big-ticket target is most likely going to be a left fielder. Matt Holliday is believed to top their list, though Jason Bay will certainly suffice. Bobby Abreu is another top free-agent outfielder, while Carl Crawford could be available in trade. The Mets have no interest in taking on Milton Bradley's problems. "

Ok, seems reasonable enough.

But Holliday is decidedly better than Bay. By like, a good amount.

Far be it from me to defend Heyman

but I don’t think this really says otherwise. “Jason Bay will certainly suffice” seems to mean he’s a sufficient fallback plan if they can’t get Holliday.

There are only 112 days left to pitchers and catchers.

shortly after that, someone will walk into camp and proclaim we are the team to beat.

It should not be happening... but it will.

Freaking K-rod said it last year. Someone will get it into their heads that they’re healthy and proclaim it.

Thank god we don't have that much to spend.

At least we’re probably priced out of the high-market mistakes.

Get ready

for another winter of Heyman regurgitating the same information over and over again, and making pointless lists of which team is in the “lead” for which player.
