I root for the Mets, not the Mets' balance sheet. I don't care how much they pay people. The Mets have let go infielders with a lot less promise than Wilmer Flores (Marco Scutaro, anyone?) and seen them flourish. I don't automatically assume that Flores can't flourish. Hey, his name is Flores, isn't it? That said, if they can upgrade the position, I for one am not going to judging the deal by how many dollars it costs the Wilpons.
