08:16 AM ET 01.30 | The Mets offseason may yet include a few additions. According to two team insiders, the club is looking for a veteran lefthanded bat for the bench, and is shopping in the aisle that includes Rick Ankiel, Kosuke Fukudome, Raul Ibanez and Johnny Damon. The latter two, while bigger names, appear less of a fit, because of a presumed desire for more at-bats, and less defensive versatility. But Ankiel or Fukudome could provide Terry Collins with a lefty pinch-hitter, occasional platoon partner for Jason Bay, and insurance against an injury to, or disappointing performance from, Bay, Lucas Duda, or Andres Torres. The Mets have monitored Ankiel in particular since the beginning of the offseason.

Teams that had Damon before don't seem anxious to re-sign him but none of the names mentioned will make the Mets decent or are likely to draw fans.

I can see radar being able to spot Fielder or big Pappy on a screen, but Damon?

Wonder what uniform Johnny will have when he gets his 3,000th hit. I was hoping it was the Rays.

The Mets have invested some of their "savings" in the new Doppler 200,000, everyone is on the radar.
