Rumor: Contreras to the Mets

[CardsBest]

Mets make sense with Alonso moving on. The Red Sox are looking for a first baseman and bat also.

That would be the big apple of my eye.

Don’t know the guy but hope we get something equal or better if it happens

Who can we get from the Mets?

Only Met player I know of is Rusty Staub.

We could use a CF'er how about Tommy Agee?

I disagee

No we could definitely use a CFer.

My bet is they are giving Victor Scott another shot at CF. As they should. His career minor league OBP is 343. If he can reach even a 320 level he is OK for CF with his defense and base stealing.

I am not always a defense first fan but some guys make enough difference and do all the other things well enough to keep them. Like Ozzie in his early days. But I agree they need more offense then from the corner OF positions. Who knows? Maybe Walker erupts to become a solid hitter we all thought he was.

Agree. Centerfield is lowest on their priority list

I didn't say it was highest on the list.

But its definitely on the list.

If a good deal fell into their laps I’m sure they would go for it but oli was talking about Scott possibly leading off next season and they are high on him and like the progress he has made and given that and the fact bloom has a lot more concerns on his plate I just don’t see anyway he has it anywhere close to something he’s actively pursuing

Im sure they'll give plenty of rope since the team won't compete this season but he didn't hit in the minors and unless you have two run producing corner OFers he's a liability as another hole in the lineup. His only real asset is his speed and he simply doesn't take advantage of it at the plate.
