He's going to be a Met.

I don't care where he ends up as long as it's not in the Bronx.

Watching Bernie look like Willie Mays in the '73 series everyday is gonna be real fun. The thought of Randy Winn in CF for the next 3 yrs makes my nipples harder than oak. How about you?

On second thought, I'd love to be stuck with another multi-year $100 million contract. :-|

Yeah, like has been said, this team is full of too many hitters like Beltran as it is. Not worth adding him, especially at Boras' ridiculous asking price.

We do need a new CF though.

I agree. That's why I'm in favor of trading for a one-year stopgap like Winn or Byrnes, then sign Pierre.

These guys are sh*t stains. Beltran is 27 years old with speed, defense and power and can be the corner stone of our offense for years with Jeter and A-Rod. This is not like giving Roid Boy a 7 year deal when he was 31.

He's definitely not worth the money he's looking for, but his age and his upside makes him appealing...in a manly sort of way.

We don't need another player of his ilk. We need a Pierre/Ichiro type of guy.

We need a guy who can play a great CF, period. I couldn't care less what they do at the plate, offense isn't the problem. If Beltran wasn't asking for the moon and the stars I'd love to sign him.

Eric Byrnes hit .283 with 20 home runs, 73 RBI's 17 SB's and a .347 OBP. Those are some pretty solid numbers for a guy who I'd assume would be hitting 8th or 9th. Ideally I'd like to add another lefthanded hitter because I think we're too righthanded but Byrnes would be a solid player in a lineup that doesn't need much more. What are the odds the Angels would give up DaVanon? .372 OBP, switch hitter, he'd be a good idea too.

NEW YORK -- The New York Mets have reached an agreement in principle to sign center fielder Carlos Beltran for $119 million over seven years to make him their centerpiece player.

The sides agreed that the deal will include an $11 million signing bonus.

This reads like the A-Rod-Texas situation. With all due respect to the Muets, all things being equal Beltran would never go there. He's forcing himself to go there for the money.

When A-Rod signed with Texas the were a year removed from 2 division titles. The Muets are a year removed from 2 last place finishes.

Don't make the Mets sound like they have a playoff caliber staff. They have Pedro and then decent guys. Benson, Zambrano, Trachsel, and Glavine have been average at best the last few seasons.
