DBAHO Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I think a more likely guy we could go afta is Bret Boone. Uribe can move to SS next season and we can hav Boone at 2B, if JR is willin to add to the payroll a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Why on earth would we pick up Ichiro when we have a fine lead off hitter in Willie Harris :fyou Ichiro Harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris could play in CF for consistent playing time, I'm all for havin a Harris and Uribe middle infield for the next 5 years, but if we hav a chance to add a bat like Boone in a good deal, we should seriously consider it.

DBAHO Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 What are you Willing to give up for a 37 Year Old Boone Harris is not a regular centerfielder Aaron Rowand and a prospect for starters. Or Paul Konerko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I think a more likely guy we could go afta is Bret Boone Makes too much and is 35+. Is not doing well at all, the roider that he is. How about Mike Cameron: -Makes 4.5 Million this year. -Is finally over the groin injury that ruined last season's final 2 months. -Can still swipe 25 bags and avoids GIDP, can play small-ball. -As good as it gets defensively -Since 2000, has a near-900 OPS away from Safeco - thrives at USCF -Will be embraced by Sox fans -Is off to a slow start, so Mets might pick up some of the contract Sure, let's try Jeremy Reed first and see how he does in platoon with A-Row, but if that doesn't work, Cameron might be just what the doc ordered. Can he veto the trade to the Sox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about J.D Drew? Have you seen his numbers away from Safeco and especially at USCF, with that Midsummer Night's Stream to LCF? Awesome. He avoids GIDP, he bunts, he steals bases and does everything else well on the pads, so his OPS is more impressive because we know it's not "one-dimensional". Spectacular defensively. Now that he is healthy and has a reasonable salary....Mets will be falling out of contention, there is no question about it. Why not try to go after Cameron around mid-June?

And he strikes out more than 130 times a year doesn't walk much and just because he hits well as a visitor doesn't mean it will keep up. I'll give the good d and speed but that about it.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Ichiro is a dream. J.D. Drew would be nice. But we have plenty of outfielders at the moment. Mike Cameron? Sure his defense and speed is nice. But his average is way too low. Last thing this team needs is another right handed bat that's hitting .210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 In other news.... If he came Cheap. JD really never lived up to his potential If JD could put together a healthy season, he would begin to get there. The guy has some talent, but every time he gets rolling, he gets hurt. Some times a guy is fragile and other times a guy is just unlucky. I don't know where Drew fits in that area, but he's a good solid LH hitter that has the potential to be a huge difference maker right now.

I think he's kinda both Fragile and Unlucky. That's ehy i said he would have to come cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
