-Either sign a middle of the road righty first baseman to a 1 year deal, or trade for a guy like Ryan Garko, to platoon with Murphy

Can't see all of that happening though. 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 ?

While I would absolutely love to have Halladay, and Santana/Halladay might be one of the best 1-2 punches of all time...I see no reason why he won't try to top Zito, Santana, and Sabathia's deals. There is just no realistic way the Mets would get him.
