Mets to target Brian Fuentes and Derick Lowe

Well the rumors are starting and we are not even finished with the World Series yet.

Reports indicate the Mets will be interested in Brian Fuentes as a closer and Derick Lowe as a starter.

Lowe who is 36 has no problem pitching for big market clubs since he did play for the Red Sox before signing his deal with the Dodgers. The issue is that Derick Lowe has mentioned he would like to go back to Boston. Who knows how they feel. They might not want to pay the $$ that he wants.

Now I like Brian Fuentes. If you look at his stats his Whip over the last couple of years has decreased while K-Rod's has increased. Also Fuentes does not give up home runs. The question is does Fuentes have the stomach to play in NY and that is a big question. He can be signed for probably half of what it would cost to get K-Rod .
