Sign a different premium free agent (Pujols, Fielder, Wilson)? No, I didn't think so. Reyes was 5.8 WAR and Beltran was 3.4 and the Mets still won only 77 games. I am more than happy to give Alderson another 2-4 years to rebuild the farm system, clear bad contracts and find a way to make the Mets a consistent winner but let's at least be honest about it, no? Ask Seaver about the Mets and honesty.
