They pay free agents the kind of money they would have earned if they were still in their prime. If a player is "past his prime", then he needs to earn "past his prime" money.
It's turning into the team that will pay for reputation, then will act shocked and awed when the old guys don't come through.
Wright and Reyes are the real deal, but that's just two players. Half that roster will be out of baseball in three to five years, which is one way and maybe the best way to determine if your roster is too old.

Loduca sucked as a catcher last year, Chipmaker! Tu es travarde (you are a bastard)!
How are they cluless. They're talking with David Eckstein about moving to 2B. It will help the team's defense. He also gets on base. He's won 2 World Series in the last 6 years.
They're making good moves.

I think that the Mets are so stupid signing old free agents since the last off-season like Alou, Easley, El Duque, Mota, Lo Duca, Delgado. Their prospects don't impress me. I think that Minaya should get the blame for doin nothin bout the bullpen. This is why they collapsed.

How are they being clueless lately? Well, except for the Torrealba deal...
