We'd almost be a contender for a playoff spot then.
Almost.
Uhh that would be the Worst move.
The guy gets hurt wayyy to much, is very inconsistent, and could fall off the wagon at any moment.
If you are a METS FAN then you will Want to watch them play.
Josh Hamilton is a Fine player but he doesn't turn this team into a winner automatically and he would kill this team's payroll for the next 5-years.
He's too injury prone and inconsistent.
Fair enough.
But I will not sacrifice great teams for one possible run at the playoffs.
The best Hamilton would do is provide the Mets with added attendance at the games. That is until the Mets solidify their losing record again next year.
The Mets have many holes to fill and this man isn't gonna solve every problem. They need to spread what limited funds they will have in the coming years appropriately to have any chance at contending.
