Then this Winter, if Endy gets a better offer somewhere else (as has been reported) Ledee can be re-signed as a back-up. If Endy stays, Ledee goes. Either way, I see Gomez as a starting corner OFer here in '08. |
The Stankees tried Lofton out in the corner outfield spots back in 04, and he looked like Cedeno out there. The Mets don't need another guy with speed they could use a guy with pop off the bench.
