Mets have been li...Add a 5th OF to your list, Mack. Mets have been linked to Ryan Raburn, who could provide great offense off the bench, but poor defense. I guess if they signed Parra or Span to platoon with Lagares, Raburn would not get much time in the field anyway. IMO, however, Kelly Johnson and Steve Pearce are also decent possibilities for the last bench position. All 3 can play 1B in addition to corner OF positions, but Johnson's advantage is he can also play the infield positions, offering a ton of versatility.<br /><br />I'm wary of Clippard too. Frankly, I'd pass on him because of both the years and $$$ he would require. My choice for the pen is outside the box. I really like Seung-hwan Oh, the 33 y/o Korean closer known as "The Final Boss". He had a bit of an off year last year (2.73 ERA, 1.154 WHIP, 8.6 K/9, 2.1 BB/9 with 41 saves) but his career numbers are outstanding. (1.81 ERA, 0.854 WHIP, 10.7 K/9, 2.1 BB/9, 357 saves) He's my 8th inning guy.<br /><br />I'm surprised by Thor's outspokenness. I thought he was the Quiet Man. But he is expressing the hope of all (or at least, most) of us that Cespedes will accept what Alderson thinks is a reasonable offer. The fact that they will not be meeting with Span until sometime in January means nothing is happening soon. Until then, I am hoping for a breakthrough with Yoenis. But if not him, I thank Span is my 4th choice, behind Parra and De Aza. I'm not enthusiastic about Venable at all. I don't understand why he is in contention.Herb Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382863651240230955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-35953540399830080872015-12-21T10:51:46.158-05:002015-12-21T10:51:46.158-05:00Ernest -

Now time to start over. <br />And like I've said before, Noah sounds wonderful now but lets see him grow older, possibly get even better and then have arbitration and free agency loom. We'll see how loyal he is then.
