2009 Mets Battle cry

“It takes more than five superstars to win a World Series. Tonight was a total team effort. Stokes comes in, in that situation, and gets the best hitter in baseball to hit in to a double play. That’s what it’s going to take, you know. Fernando Martinez gets on a plane, shows up in the seventh, and gets a bunt down… Murphy hits a home run. You know, it’s a total team effort. If you’re gonna talk about team wins, tonight was a great example and that’s what we need to do.” : source Metsblog

Here's an alternative for 2B

Most see the Mets picking up a large chunk of Luis Castillo's contract and then signing Orlando Hudson. While that sounds like a great plan, Hudson's not the only 2B who could replace Castillo.


How about a 3o y/o former batting champion and two time All-Star. It's reported that the Pirates will shop Freddy Sanchez this winter, in an off year Sanchez hit .271 but is a career .300 hitter. In 2007 Sanchez had the highest percentage line drive hits (27.5%), it would be nice to have that kind of contact hitting in the two hole of the line-up.
Not only would Sanchez be a nice fit for us but I think Pittsburgh would be the perfect place for Heilman to get his chance as a starter....
The Pirates will continue to try to advance their youth movement and will look to trade second baseman Freddy Sanchez and shortstop Jack Wilson, the last two veterans on the roster who seem to have at least some value. source Morning Journal
