Krod will be a Met next year? That may not be a great thing. They should trade Reyes and some fillers to the Reds for Cordero and Brandon Phillips. Sign Texiera, let Delgado go, Let Fernando martinez have a shot at left or sign a stopgap one year vet to keep the seat warm. Get a good defensive SS like McDonald from Toronto and find some solid bullpen arms. I know this may be impossible but they need to do something.

Or simply acquire Velez from the Giants and let him play 2nd and pitch middle relief (scuds says he has a hell of an arm too)

Sorry Luis Castillo will be occupying that spot for 3 more years.

Unfortunately true. I wonder if there is any big contract OF that still has some value but is vastly overpaid. They might be able to dump Castillo on someone by taking on a big contract like that. Perhaps Eric Byrnes getting $11 million in each of 2009 and 2010. Maybe Jose Guillen getting $12 million each of the next two years.
