Trade With Indians?
According to MLBTradeRumors, Omar Minaya and Cleveland GM Mark Shapiro had a face-to-face meeting.
MLBTR speculates that the Mets might be interested in an outfielder such as Jason Michaels, David Dellucci, or Shin Soo Choo, and possibly in pitchers Cliff Lee and/or Jeremy Sowers.
Choo — no, because he’s coming off TJ surgery and is not better than existing options. Dellucci — no, he’s a LH hitter and the Mets need a righty. Michaels — maybe, but I hope not. Lee — possible. Sowers — huh? I thought Sowers was the Injuns’ lefthanded version of Mike Pelfrey … so how / why is he available?
Personally, I hope the talk surrounds Kelly Shoppach … but that’s doubtful. Lee or Sowers would be a fine alternative for fifth starter insurance … or who knows, maybe I was on to something with the Andy Marte suggestion.

If the Mets are able to swing a deal for Marte — then I’ll send you over one of those boxing-Met puppets they sell at Shea.
You’d have called it, Joseph. But I’m not really sure what the Mets would have to giveto match up in that situation…….
I DON’T want any of the other names, for what it’s worth: no Jason Michaels, no Koo-Koo-Soo-Choo, and I’d even be lukewarm to Cliff Lee (who Minaya loves)….but Marte: I’d be open to seeing what they want there.
Choo … hmmm … Choo Choo Coleman … Mr. Koo … I’ll pass, but it would be fun to hear “I am the Walrus” played when he came to bat (koo koo ka choo).
“I am the Walnutz.”
…….that is all.
