Why not Nomar?


How crazy would it be to add Nomar Garciappara as the utility player? The Red Sox are signing damaged goods left and right to incentive rich contracts, why not the Mets. Garciappara had an injury filled year last year but still showed some pop with 8 HR's in 168 AB. He could spell Wright and Reyes, split some time with Delgado against lefties and even be in the LF mix. The guy is a gamer, with a great attitude and is only 2 seasons removed from a plus 400 AB, .300 plus year. He is the type of older player with a diverse skill set that Omar loves. Plus he bats righty which is a definite area of need. On top of that, he could bring his former soccer starring wife to the New York and add a little glamour. Maybe no Anna Benson but definitely a cool couple to read about in Page Six. Nomar could be a very good fit for the 2009 Mets.
