Definitely don't see them landing Holliday AND Lackey, certainly. More likely, they'll prolly sign Jason Marquis (who has been open about how he wants to pitch for the Mets) even though his 2009 season was clearly just a good contract year, while hoping for a bounceback season from Pelfrey.

I can see options 3 and 4 happening and maybe even Holliday. But I really don't think you guys are gonna get Lackey. Do you want the Mets to go after Halladay or is he to much money/to long a contract ?
