As for the Mets:

As a Met fan myself, I wanna blow this team up and start over. I'd LOVE to trade Jose Reyes but he has no value after the season long injury he had. Ples, a lot of teams probably share my personal opinion of the guy: he's an immature head case. Talent can't fix immaturity and stupidity, so we're stuck with him. Though there are pieces to work with here:

C: Thole/Santos
1B:
2B: Castillo
3B: Wright
SS: Reyes
LF:
CF: Beltran
RF: Francoeur

SP: Santana
SP:
SP: Perez
SP:
SP: Pelfrey

I'm not sold on Murphy. For me, let him earn a spot at 1st this year. If Delgado won't come back in for a fair price with incentives (I don't believe he will), bring in a Nick Johnson and have them platoon/compete for a job. With Nick's injury history it won't be long before Murphy plays anyways.

Left Field is where you spend your money. Go get Holliday. He went to the AL and was mediocre. I think he's an NL guy at heart. Get him here. At which point, your lineup looks like:

Reyes
Castillo
Holliday
Beltran
Wright
Francoeur
Murphy/Johnson
Thole/Santos

There's a more complete, less power reliant lineup you need in Citi Field.

Pitching is another place I'd spend at. Call the Royals, can Gil Meche be had? He'd be a good number 2 starter in the NL. I'm sure given his contract situation, a couple of decent prospects would do the job. If not, how about Brett Myers? The Phillies kept screwing with him (starting and then closing and then relieving again) and apparently he didn't like it. Will he come here? I'd love Lackey, but his injury history scares me. If the price is right, sure, but he hasn't made a full season of starts since 07. Bring back John Maine, high risk high reward, but you also have Misch, and anyone else you want to take a flier on as your number 4. Mike Pelfrey is a number 5 start at best. I don't care how good his sinker is, no one swings at it because he's behind in the count all the time.

So hypothetically, you have:

Santana
Meche
Perez
Maine/Misch/whomever
Pelfrey

And now you have a complete club that can run, hit for power, play defense amd pitch
