I'm curious to see what everyones opinion would be in this theoretical scenario. Lets say the team that has offered Bay a longer/larger contract is not the Mets bidding against themselves, but some other team (lets say Giants since Sabean would do this sort of thing). What should the Mets do if they're outbid for Bay (making the crazy assumption Omar has a limit and doesn't fly into panic mode) ? Do we focus on stockpiling gamble-type pitchers and sort them out later? With Bay, Lackey, and Holliday out of the picture, who would you like to see the money spent on, since we'd have a lot of it floating around. Figure this might be an interesting diversion from the days events to see if we can find any kind of hope in the leftovers of this offseason.
