M's make overtures to Delgado and Sexson

[perlick29]

The M's have some decent young talent, and these guys would make pretty good additions, IMO, but they cost too much. The M's aren't going to be a winning for a few years, so I'd actually pass on anyone but Glaus, as that's what Seattle needs badly.

The Mets have (edit: reportedly) matched Arizona's offer (3yr/10M) to Sexson. Arizona's contract had injury stipulations in it and speculation is that Minaya guaranteed the entire contract.

Oh, yay, I wonder how many of my hitters will have been rumored to go to that singularity by the time the offseason is over.

I don't know but Sexson shouldn't be a surprise. If the Mets make any splash in the FA market it will be at 1B. That's part of the reason I think it's unrealistic that the Mariners could sign Delgado and Sexson.

Also, I don't think Sexson would have trouble at Shea. Hitters with warning track power struggle at Shea. Sexson could hit homers anywhere.

I kept him over oswalt and mulder last year, so needless to say, im quite skeptical.

ouch sexson over oswalt i imagine haunted u all year....

Yeah, Sexson has big-time pop, that's for sure. It's just something else about that place that ruins hitters for life. I'm not sure what it is...very elusive, it is.
