This season the Mets are proving that they are very resilient. This group has not been the most consistent team, but they battle every single game. That is much more than the teams of the past few seasons. It is very apparent that this team needs another top of the rotation starter. I think for the Mets to be the class of the National League, they need another bat along with a pitcher.
Compared to the best lineups in baseball, the Mets aren't even close. Dan Uggla would be my guy. Although his defense is below average, his bat makes up for the difference. He averages 30+ homers and 90+ RBI with an above average OPS. Adding him to the Mets lineup would add depth and be comparable to the best teams.
It will not be easy to make a trade with a division rival, but it will make a big difference come October.
Update: Freddy Gonzalez fired maybe there will be another firesale if the fish tank. I think now is the time to see if any of their players are available. I know they were looking to trade Uggla during the off season. Maybe Omar can be creative and get him on the cheap.
