MLBTR pegs Holliday, Wolf and Penny for the Mets

In his “2010 Top 50 Free Agents” post, Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors goes through his personal top 50 free agents from the off-season.  He then posts where he thinks the player will land.

Dierkes tabbed No. 1 free agent Matt Holliday as a future-Met.  He also pegged No. 5 Randy Wolf and No. 25 Brad Penny as possibly Flushing-bound.

There are a bunch of other names mentioned as possible interests to the Mets, but those are the only ones that Dierkes had definitely coming the Mets way.

I do think the Mets will be big players for Holliday.  They might have to overpay, but this seems like an Omar Minaya-type addition.  Big bat, decent glove and a big splash.

Wolf, I wouldn’t mind.  He’s not the perfect Band Aid for the Mets starting rotation (more like some duct tape and a prayer), but he’d fill a hole.

And a big “no thanks” to Penny.  Unless he costs only a…nevermind.
