Delgado Returns
The Mets picked up the option on Carlos Delgado for 2009. Since his option didn't vest, the Mets will pay him $12 million next season. That's only bad if Delgado hits like he did before Randolph was fired. If he hits 38 home runs again it's a steal.
It really is only costing the Mets $8M, as there was a $4M buyout.
$8M should be a steal for Delgado.
