My fan level is obviously kind of low, seeing how there is not much to be excited about, BUT the pre season optimism has run through me of late to think of the lineup in everybody's prime…jose, louis, DW5, Belt (back on the juice) Francouer, Bay (back on the juice) and some random catcher…its not that bad.

Now obviously we are far removed from these players prime’s except DW5 but still on paper not too bad. And lets just say we get a season out of Maine AND Pelfrey BOTH this year…now your talking!!!!

Jason Bay has bucked the NY Mets rumors and has passed his physical examination. He'll join Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado and David Wright in the middle of the NY Mets lineup.

Well the NY Mets rumors have it pegged this time. Jason Bay, appears to have agreed to a 4 year deal with the NY Mets worth about $66MM with an option for a 5th year.

Jason Bay will obviously fit in well with the NY Mets, if the rumors are true, he may not even pass his physical examination.

NY Mets rumors have been swirling around Jason Bay and Matt Holiday for weeks now. Omar Minaya appears to be taking most of the month off, but the gaping hole in the Mets lineup still has not been addressed.

Matt Holiday's agent, Scott Boras, has stated several reasons why the NY Mets won't be able to sign Holliday during this off season. This actually may turn out to be a blessing in disguise however, as Matt Holiday is not the pull hitting threat that would be necessary to excel in the giant Citi Field ballpark.
