I'm glad they finally settled the left field situation. I would have rather had Holliday, certainly. But...Bay is not a bad player. The consensus around baseball is that he is going to decline sharply at the plate before his deal is over, but if that's the only bad contract the Mets have then, I can deal with it.

Now, I'd like to see the Mets take a look at Delgado. If he seems to be healthy, I would definitely give him a reasonable one year deal. I WOULDN'T have signed him and shouldered him with the load of being the cleanup hitter, but now that they got a power LF guy, Delgado can bat 6th behind Reyes, Castillo, Wright, Bay, and Beltran while getting frequent time off to allow Murphy to play. And if he sucks, let him go and stick with Murph.
