Channeling Hendry: 2009 Edition

[apete6]

I have a feeling that Jose Reyes is going to be our Brian Roberts/Jake Peavy distraction of the offseason this year.

 

Reyes at SS and Theriot at 2nd or Theriot to somewhere else?

 

 

My honest guess is that as much as Lou and Hendry seem to love Theriot, he'd almost have to be part of the deal. Maybe something like Theriot/Vitters/Wells/Carpenter/Fox for Reyes? The Mets need cheap, ready to play in the majors talent and sending them Theriot, Wells, and Fox could fill 3 holes for them immediately.

 

Or the Mets don't want to pay him super long term and would take Zambrano and Fox for him. That would be awesome.

 

Reyes SS

Bradley RF

Lee 1B

Ramirez 3B

Kosuke CF

Soriano LF

Soto C

Theriot 2B

 

Not terrible. Of course, on a message board, our current lineup looks sufficient.

I would rather trade Lilly than Z. Lilly probably has more value this offseason than Z. I'd do a Lilly/Theriot/Fox/Huesby/minor leaguer for Reyes. Then the ideal situation would be to then sign Felipe Lopez or Orland Hudson on a 1-2 year deal to play 2B.

This.

 

And assuming the budget gets increased, I could see a run at John Lackey coming. Or perhaps some salary dumps to make that happen.

I could see a run at Lackey, but I really see us way over paying for Valverde, Soriano or Rodney.
