I'm gonna say something controversial here.

I'd start Valencia without thinking twice about it.

Good job by his agent to find a taker on a 2 year deal.

I'm sure the Mets were at the top of the agent's list.

That's shocking to me. Don't know what the Mets are thinking, as this also costs them a draft pick. Why not just sign Hunter instead for 1 year and less money?

Again, I'd take Hunter at this point just for health, for one year. And not give up the draft pick. Cuddy barely played last season. Both are bad defensively now.

And what are the Mets going to do? Get 4th place in the East?

Mets must be confident Cuddy can put up those #'s outside of Coors Field

Their rotation should be solid with Harvey back, but good enough to compete? I seriously doubt it. And again, it's about allocation. Why sign Cuddy and give up that pick when there are cheaper alternatives that don't require giving up a pick?

Word is that the Mets are adding small flecks of gold into their uniforms as well.

And now you know why the Mets haven't done shit in over a decade.

Looks like he gets $21M over 2 years vs. $15.3M this year. He must have wanted that guarantee with his injury this year. No guarantee he makes $6M in 2016.

Further proof of how desperate teams are for pitching.

While his market still seems to be shaping up, starter Kevin Correia has drawn the attention of several teams, including the Rockies, according to Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press (via Twitter). Berardino notes that Correia has pitched well over his career at Coors Field. Despite his largely underwhelming numbers, the 34-year-old righty will appeal to many clubs as a durable innings-eater.
