    Sorry if I wasn't clear. I have no interest in Holliday this season, I would sign him to a contract when he becomes a free agent. Even if he is not a great defender just stick him in left, he's still very good at the plate, even away from Coors and could only help our AAA lineup.

    I don't know bout you but I'm tired our outfielders being good hitters and playing the outfield so bad.

    I love love the francoeur deal. He's a high energy guy and has always loved playing here when the braves came into town.

    I like it too, it isn't often you get a 25-year old outfielder with two 100-RBI seasons under his belt.

    I'm surprised you guys like this deal... I don't. I think they got rid of Church just cause Jerry Manuel had some beef with him for some reason. I agree with this article...

    I think its time to get rid of Minaya and Manuel.

    this made me laugh, from the article:

    Update: Awesome quote from Omar Minaya: "One thing we like about Francoeur is the amount of games that he plays."

    If he was on the team last year, he'd be the fifth guy to play virtually the entire season. Reyes, Wright, Delgado and Beltran all played no less than 159 games in 20008.

    So, what to expect in the second half? Any reason to be optimistic?

    That's a procedural move since he'll have to make some minor league starts to get ready for the majors.

    This season is DONE. The question is now, as a team selling, who do we sell?

    Too bad we didn't sell/trade F-Mart when he was still worth a damn as a young prospect..

    Perhaps they've overvalued Pelfrey as well. Pelfrey looks very flustered when things don't go his way.

    Maybe, but I'd think that would have to happen when Reyes shows he has recovered. Frankly, the Mets should go after Halladay and if Toronto is interested in Niese, Pelfrey and Martinez they should pull the trigger.

    Ouch. According to SI's Jon Heyman, the Mets could have had Halladay for Martinez, Niese, Parnell & tejada, and TURNED IT DOWN!

    Is it true that the Mets turned down an offer for Halladay. I saw it on MlB channel.
