Mets Talk

The Mets are an interesting team. For all their talk about trying to get younger, they passed up on 28 year old Vladimir Guerrero because of concerns about his back. They sign 31 year old Mike Cameron instead. This year, they're now chasing 38 year old Moises Alou. Their injury concerns? Seem to be gone, since they're after Magglio Ordonez and Richie Sexson, both who missed time to injury last year. Oh, and no problem giving Pedro Martinez and his cranky right arm a four year contract!

Mets fans have to be wondering what's going on with their team.

(Arizona fans also have to wonder what's happening out in the southwest US, since the team claims they don't have enough money to keep Randy Johnson, then go out on the free agent market to get Russ Ortiz and Troy Glaus)

Maybe the new GM thinks different than the old GM. This change in philosophy by the front office coincides with the new GM.
I agree with the Diamondbacks comment - what is really going on with their financial situation?
What's up with Billy Beane - why trade Mulder now for so little? Why sign Chavez to the long term deal if they don't plan on winning? If I'm Billy Beane, I'm thinking why even bother working for an owner that won't let you win?
