... a decent short-term pickup, there's always Aubrey Huff, and of course you could roll the dice with Nick Johnson's health (Jim Thome would bring all the same downsides that Delgado has, plus he's an even worse defensive option; ditto Jason Giambi). The other main area where the Mets might go for some relatively high-profile help would be starting pitching, but aside from John Lackey,...
