Today's rumor mill has it that Toronto has learned that their 5th
starter, Casey Janssen, will miss the season.
I wonder whether that puts Jorge Sosa in play as a possible trade
chip for Reed Johnson. The Mets reportedly inquired about him
(and/or Shannon Stewart) just the other day. If at that time the
Blue Jays were looking for prospects from NY's depleted farm system
then there wouldn't be a match. Now, it might be a different story.

If the cost isn't too high I still think the best fit for the Mets
would be reacquiring X.Nady. Nady can hit lefties (in '07 he even
did well vs righties) and can play 1b, rf, or lf. Given the health
situation and the fact that Church and/or Delgado could use a
platoonmate I think the X-man would get the job done.

Reed Johnson would be good Beltran Insurance.

The latest rumor is that the Mets are talking to Boston about a deal
for Coco Crisp. It probably would involve Angel Pagan.

Personally I am not a fan of Coco Crispies and hope this one doesn't
materialize.
