"He was too expensive and we all knew it... Sadly, that means anyone is too expensive.

I'm all for rebuilding, but we have to have SOMEONE out there. W T F?!?!
I don't want to hear anymore stories about how the Mets are "interested" in this player or that. They need to stop. I'm "intersted" in Jessica Alba, but I'm never going to get her. The whole Bourn thing is C R A P. They are "interested", but they'd be more interested if he didn't cost a 1st round pick . Well duh. Of course. But he does. So either decide to give up the pick and pursue him, or decide he's not worth it, and stop with the hand wringing.
When complimentary players are "too expensive", it's beyond the joke stage.
