Furcal another FA gone from the market?

If Furcal stays in Atlanta, the Mets will still be looking for a 2b. Anyone here interested in trading for Kaz as our ss/leadoff?

isn't his D very suspect? i haven't seen much of him, but Mets fans sure do whine about him a lot.

I can just see Hendry, all loaded, after having traded for Kaz Matsui.

 

"Whaddya mean the wrong Matsui?"

I'm hoping the Mets make a ridiculous offer and Hendry looks elsewhere.

And if they do, they will most certainly be looking to dump the remainder of Kaz's contract. There was quite a bit of talk on this board about going after Kaz around the trade deadline. Is that interest still around? Could he be what the Cubs are looking for if the Mets eat a good bit of the remainder of his deal? This sound just like something Hendry might gamble on.

So, now we would rather give up prospects for an injured SS, pay out more cash than Nomar might cost, meanwhile freeing up cash for the Mets to go out and covet the free agents WE should be talking to. Nomar would cost us nothing in prospects and could be cheaper than Matsui, besides more productive. I give up.

 

I need a break from this place. [-(

Milton Bradley, Brian Giles, Rafael Furcal, and B.J. Ryan, please.

Furcal appears to be looking for a similar contract to what Jimmy Rollins got. The article also says that both the Mets and Cubs called immediately after Furcal declared free agency to express interest.
