Mets Unlikely To Acquire Outfielder
MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com —
... Joel Sherman of the New York Post writes about the Mets' unsuccessful search for a corner outfielder.
The Mets find the prospect price too high on players such as Raul Ibanez and Jason Bay. They just don't like Adam Dunn. They don't like Randy Winn's contract or lack of power. And Manny Ramirez is unlikely for numerous reasons.
While the Mets are fans of Ibanez, they've made all of their interesting prospects untouchable. The Mets may ...

But now there's a report that there's several players Omar is deeming untouchable...... ...

... So where will Manny be playing by the end of the season? Some reports still say the Mets are interested, but I don't think they have the tools (or the stomach) to pull the trigger.

umpbump.com —
... The sabermetric crowd loves his on-base and slugging percentages and are more willing to overlook his deficiencies. If you’ve read UmpBump regularly, then you probably know that I’m pretty firmly on the sabermetric side. And no, I was not a math geek growing up. Hated it, in fact. Anyhow, it should come as no surprise when I say that Adam Dunn just might be the most underrated hitter in baseball today and I would love to have the guy play for my New York Mets this year. But if Joel Sherman of the New York Post is correct (and when is the Post ever wrong?), that’s simply a ...
