— Seattle needs Dye in the worst way. Unfortunately, they have 2 other DH’s already (Griffey and Sweeney) and an OF that should be a DH (Bradley).
— Crede needs to sign a pure incentive deal that pays him for games played. If healthy he is at least a LA player that offers some depth/insurance/defensive replacement value. A team would be crazy though to guarantee the guy anything.
— Baldelli is just like Crede. Not a bad guy to have but the deal has to be a pay to play type structure.
— Dukes is a mystery. I wonder if teams finally get it that some players, despite their on the field contributions, simply are not worth taking on.

I’m pretty sure the Mets aren’t going to consider Delgado. Ike Davis has 1B covered
Boz
and im pretty sure that is what Luke said above already…

Delgado would be a great addition to the Blue Jays, esp if they are still in the hunt, it would be a great story.
As far as the Mets, so long as Davis IS STILL raking, I would say no, there is no fit…but lets remember that baseball is a game of adjustments, so lets see how pitchers adjust to Davis and look for holes in his game. If Davis slumps badly and Delgado is out there…it wouldnt hurt to try him, a hot Delgado can almost single-handedly carry a team. That being said, I really have enjoyed watching Ike play…but I also remembered enjoying Daniel Murphy play too..so I am cautiously optimistic, Davis seems to know when to pull and when to go the other way, which makes him alot harder to pitch to than Murphy who was pretty much an opposite-fields hitter…once pitchers started busting him inside, he had a difficult time adjusting. Since pitchers so rarely come inside, ( since most lefties are pull hitters ), murph was rocking in the beginning. It totally makes sense why now. If he can learn to adjust to the pitcher, pitch by pitch, he can be a .300 hitter too…but unless the NL adopts the DH ( crosses fingers ), he probably will be shipped out soon

I give it about 3-4 weeks of Mark Kotsay not doing anything but grounding into double plays and hitting right at guys for Kenny, not ozzie(ozzie is too stubborn to get rid of a guy he like) but Kenny wants to win. So i give it 3-4 weeks of Kotsays being nothing more than bad and Dye gets a call. I honestly think the only team he will lower his money for is the whitesox, he is in love with them for some reason
