I would love Nick Castellanos or Choice from the A's. with one of these two and maybe Puello + Ellsburry or Choo the Outfield could be awesome
Detroit seems to be a good target team
Detroit is perfect. The Mets need to sell the Tigers on the cheaper option in Parnell before they send Castellanos to Philly for Papelbon.
