I think K-Rod is jonesing to come to NY to do ads with A-Rod.

Another thought crossed my mind: Street throws right, K-Rod throws right, and Fuentes throws left....if you were the Mets, wouldn't you prefer a righty/lefty combo to 2 righties?

Heilman + Feliciano is a fair exchange for a former closer who you intend to make your 8th inning guy .... and he is not a FA for years .... and he could be your emergency closer if needed. If he Mets are allowing Feliciano to hold this up now and someone else swoops in and gets Street, it will be a major goof.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10295','ron'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('10295','ron','Feliciano would be another that I would put in the \"addition by subtractiion\" category .... to expect him to be more than a situational lefty out of the pen is stretching him beyond his capability IMO ....
