I agree...Holliday is obviously better than Bay. There are whispers that the Mets are talking to Holliday again now that it turns out the deal the Cards offered him isn't as enormous.
The way I see it though, Bay is still good and is obviously being imported for his bat. Everybody knows it. Most teams have at least one shitty-fielding outfielder anyway, normally always in LF. I have a hard time making a huge deal about it, especially with Beltran and Francoeur covering the rest of the ground. Bay will prolly be crap in 2014, but by then it will hopefully be the only bad contract on the team.
Mets are also gonna keep an eye on Delgado and might offer him a cheap 1-year deal if he proves he's healthy in Winter Ball. I LOVE Daniel Murphy, but Ike Davis seems poised to take over in 2011 at 1B. I'm not entirely sure where Murphy fits in for the future. If a healthy Delgado can be had on the cheap for 1 year, I'd do it.
Reyes
Castillo
Bay, Beltran, Delgado, Wright in some order
Francoeur
Catcher
Can be a pretty nasty lineup.
