Another Bad Possibility


ESPN's Jayson Stark says we can “add another name to the Mets' outfield shopping list -- the Giants' Randy Winn.” According to Stark, he has sources that say the Mets and Giants have had some conversations recently about Winn, who is 34 years old. Winn, a switch hitter, is hitting .274, .342 OBP, with 19 steals in 20 attempts.

Another official declares that the Mets are using the potential Winn deal as a “back-burner menu item”, and will most likely not actively pursue him before the trade deadline.

Winn is signed for 2009 for $8.125M, and could likely jump another $500K should he be traded. This creates an obstacle.

I feel the Mets should stay away from Winn...far away. We need to get younger.
