Don't Panic but Make a Dunn Deal

The Mets have been looking like a bad AAA team at times this past 2-3 weeks. It is hard to recognize many of the names and even harder to imagine significant contributions by some of these guys. So what should the Mets do:
1. Don't go get another shortstop. Let the current guys led by Alex Cora get the job done until Jose is back, even if it takes a couple of months.
2. Let Ollie work himself out and be that starter we trade for. There was a reason that he received a $36 million contract. Patience is difficult with him, but lets give it a try.
3. Big Splash: go try to get Adam Dunn. He is exactly what the team needs, a banger with a manageable contract. The Mets need a power hitter but cannot clog up 1B in case Delgado comes back. Dunn can play some first, play left, and be a DH in all the American League parks. His stats are incredible. He has consistently compiled a plus .900 OPS and always hits 40 HRs. Maybe he is not the best fielder but with Beltran and Church there is room for him to hack around in left. Plus he can play some 1B to help out.
There's the plan! Go get it done, hang around until August and make a move on first.
