Should the Mets make a play for Garret Anderson?

He might be available if the Angels don’t re-sign him . He has great defensive skills but is age of 36 a factor? He had 9 assists in limited play in 2008 and made no errors. He has been a good influence I’m sure for the younger guys in the Angels clubhouse and I’m sure he project some of that on Daniel Murphy. He did hit .280 on the road this past season but he only had 15 home runs this past year. He does not hit for power like he once did.

I see 2 down falls one being he is a lefty batter which we dont really need another left in this lineup and he does not hit for power at all against lefty pitching with only 1 of his 15 home runs against lefties. He did hit for average though against lefties hitting ,290

With the free agent market full of outfielders who are horrible defensively the Mets might have the best outfield defensively with the addition of a player like Garret Anderson.
