No. Wilson is a phony, completely fabricated persona. He created a marketable character to play in order to get media attention. He wasn’t this guy throughout his entire career. I don’t care if someone loves him or loathes him, but don’t pretend this cartoon he’s turned himself into is his true self or that he’s not looking for media attention.

He’s just a quirkier (and more talented) version of Turk Wendell.

I’d love for this deal to happen. He’s lightyears better than Frank Francisco, and the opportunity to flip him for a prospect around the trade deadline doesn’t hurt either.

I’d love for the Mets to sign him, but they won’t because someone will put together a Joe Nathan/Joakim Soria deal to bring him in and the Mets can’t/won’t go there.

As a Mets fan, if we are basement bargain shopping then why not sign P Jose Valverde, Matt Capps and Francisco Rodriguez to veteran minimum deals and rotate them between the bullpen and closing roles. The bullpen was the weakest part of the pitching staff last season and these moves will improve the pitching staff without breaking the bank.
Also, OF Delmon Young could be signed to help the outfield on a veteran minimum deal.
We are less than 2 months away from spring training so the closer we get to opening spring training, it will be easier to sign these guys to minimum or minor league deals.
C’mon Sandy, there are a couple of veterans you can sign for 1 year to improve the Mets.
