How soon everyone forgets. I would rather take my chances with K-Rod. I would like to still see the Heilman and a player for Street deal go down. So that we would have Street setting up for K-Rod. 3581787 2008-12-08T13:16:08-05:00 4 NJ mets4ever Bayonne 598360 4 Imagine for a moment if we could sign K-Rod to close, then also sign Hoffman who is open to 'anything' to play and also Wood. Then we trade Heilman for Street from the Rockies.. man that would be great. I'd also like to see Punto &amp; Ibanez sign. Then we're good to go, oh yeah, almost forgot we need another starter, don't know but maybe Garland or Wolf would be good options. 3578578 2008-12-08T14:01:55-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/604/139/thumb/statue.jpg 130 PA Reason in Philly?

It all seems so possible in bizzarro world. 3579465 2008-12-08T13:16:08-05:00 4 NJ mets4ever Bayonne 598360 4 Imagine for a moment if we could sign K-Rod to close, then also sign Hoffman who is open to 'anything' to play and also Wood.

If Fuentes is signed for closer, use them as left-right tandem, with the other as setup when not closing.If Rodriguez is closer, Wood will still get close opportunities. Plus, we have a safety net in case anyone goes down. 3578060 2008-12-08T12:17:28-05:00 112 NY .talkingNYsports.com New York 623254 1 Fuentes is clearly option B, I think he is a possibility (even as the 8th inning guy) but definitely, second fiddle! talkingNYsports.com 3577542 8 <p>LAS VEGAS -- The Mets' continuing tour of closers picks up this afternoon, as GM <strong>Omar Minaya</strong> will meet&nbsp;with two star free-agent closers, first&nbsp;<strong>Brian Fuentes </strong>and then <strong>Trevor Hoffman</strong>, less than 24 hours after&nbsp;Minaya and club owner Jeff <strong>Wilpon</strong> dined with <strong>Francisco Rodriguez</strong>.</p> <div>The Mets made an initial offer, believed to be for three years, to Rodriguez, who is thought to be their first choice. However, Mets people like Fuentes very much as well, and view him as a viable second choice.</div> <div><strong></strong></div> <div><strong></strong></div> <div><strong>Kerry Wood</strong> and <strong>Trevor Hoffman</strong> are also on the Mets' radar, as are a few trade possibilities (Colorado's <strong>Huston Street</strong> and Seattle's <strong>J.J. Putz</strong> are among those). Free agency appears to be the most likely route for the Mets, though.</div> <div>The Indians, Rangers and Cardinals are also looking for a closer here in Vegas.</div> http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY Jon Heyman New York 10084 30161
