Don’t even get me started on last season. It was one of the most pain inflicting adventures I have ever experienced. Come mid-July, all hope was lost. Talks of next season were already starting to begin. Of course there was the typical trade deadline all-nighter, only to be zapped by Mr.Minaya once again. “I think we can solve the issues using the internal players we have in the organization.” Omar, you have already called everyone up. Unless you can turned rock into water, stop talking.

Hot Stove is heating up. Players options are being picked up, declined, etc. What’s next for the Mets? I know it’s easy to simply say “just spend huge dollars and get the best players out there,” but don’t forget- our GM is Omar Minaya. That won’t happen. I want to talk about two men who I believe have the ability to change the attitude and chemistry of this team into something we have not seen since 2006.

Bring back Cliff Floyd and Darren Oliver. Watching the 2009 ALCS killed me. Seeing Darren Oliver get huge outs for the Angels in the biggest of spots was heart-wrenching. All I could think about was him coming out of the bullpen for the Mets and knowing that the out would get made. Omar Minaya- trade for Darren Oliver. But-we’re not done. Cliff Floyd is possibly the Met that I loved the most since I have been a fan. I know he was/is injury prone- but I want him back for his attitude.

He kept guys like Reyes and Delgado loose. He especially kept Wright fresh and on his toes. Cliffy and David were great friends, and bringing back Floyd would not only change the morale in the clubhouse, but it would make our third basemen a very happy man. Floyd is loved by the fan base, and was cheered for very loudly on Opening Night at CitiField when he was introduced for the San Diego Padres. He was really happy in New York- and I would bet that he’d love to make a return for a year or two.
