The New York Mets made a string of low-budget moves last week at the winter meetings. They acquired some bullpen help and a center fielder that is capable of batting leadoff to replace Jose Reyes. With all that accomplished, the Mets still have a few needs.

They need depth at outfield, catcher, the starting pitching rotation and the middle infield. They also have limited funds left to acquire all of this. That's the bad news. The good news is that there are still many options available in the free-agent market to fill these voids in the roster.

If Mets GM Sandy Alderson is a smart shopper this holiday season, he could obtain one or more of several key players that would not only help the team now but in the long-term future.

While there are many names still out there, the ones on this list make the most sense at the most affordable price. Some names here may surprise, while others may be expected.

Overall, however, all are viable and realistic options that are worth the time and money the Mets would invest.
