It sounds pretty possible that the Mets will get Batista. Solid move. I'm not saying he's better, but he did have a better ERA this year than Colon, Millwood, or Pettitte. And he'll be much cheaper. I'm not so sold on the Urbina idea. There aren't a lot of guys left, but I think Arthur Rhodes would be a bit cheaper and probably just as good. Or just give David Weathers the job.
As a final final note on Matsui, I really think the wrong NY team got him. He would've been a great addition for the Yankees, who could've moved Jeter to 3B and non-tendered Boone.
