Now since the Phillies have been eliminated, and the nightmare of Rollins with a new ring has been demolished, I feel its safe to go in depth of the 2008 New York Mets.
The Mets have a few options for the Outfield Next year, lets look at the options as if they dont resign Alou.
1) Milledge, Beltran, Gomez/Chavez
My problem with this plan is that with Chavez platooning with Gomez, it makes the bench that much weaker and our defense that much tired in late inning substitution situations.
2) Spring Training Miracles: Ben Johnson has shown promise in the past. If he has a knockout ST this year, whats stoping that again. This year, I felt like he was blocked by Newhan.
3) Fokudume. Dont know much about him, but he has an extremely high average, I think that will translate better in the majors than high power numbers.
I will look at the other options later this week. I am also getting a book review for later this week as well.
