In
my opinion, Omar Minaya, Willie Randolph and the New York Mets have to
make a decision regarding first baseman Carlos Delgado.

Delgado was a great player who, whether due to injury or age,or
both, is now a detriment to his team. He is a liability on the field,
he runs slower then a pregnant woman in mud carrying groceries (sorry
folks, it was all I could think of on short notice), and he is simply
not hitting; .213 average, 4 homers, 16 RBI, 21 strikeouts. Sure he has
his occasional days where  he makes us want  to  believe he is coming
back. But it never lasts. You might say to me, “it has only been 29
games, give the man a chance”, to which I reply, look at what he did
last year.  A little research tells you this isn’t simply a matter of a
slump. It is an over paid, aging player who is hurting his team.

So what is the answer?  The way  I  see  it,  the  Mets have  three  options:

1) stay the course and hope he kicks  it  in  gear

2)keep Delgado at first until he , hopefully, gets hot, then trade
him for whatever you could get (not  much I know, and we would have to
eat much of his salary, but perhaps some AL team in need of a DH might
bite….doubtful, but possible)

3)put Moises Alou at first…call me crazy  but there  are 
benefits, Alou, whose  bat  we badly  need in  the line up might
actually finish the season playing at first as opposed to the outfield,
where he  always seems  to get hurt. Then bring up a kid to replace
Alou out there, perhaps Fernando Martinez??

Anyhow, just a thought. What do you think??
