With the abundance of closers and the sheer lack of most teams uninterested in one, should give the Mets the leg up here. I really think the Mets have the ball here when it comes to signing one especially K-Rod. All the big market teams don't need a closer. Dodgers have Saito/Broxton. Cubs have Marmol. Boston has Papelbon. Yanks have Mo. Philly has Lidge. That leaves the Mets and Detroit in my book. I think the Mets will get their man K-Rod and will have to make sure they don't budge in not giving him the 5 year deal he wants. I am ok with 4 and 50-52 mill. I would even take a chance on Kerry Wood or Fuentes if things don't pan out. Starting pitching wise, I think the Mets will get Lowe or Penny and hopefully re-sign Perez. Santana, Maine, and Pelfrey aren't enough. I am a little apprehensive about going after Sheets, Burnett, or even Dempster Well as far as us Met fans are concerned, we only care about one thing…a closer.
