Andruw Jones - Jones should be released by the Dodgers today.  He is a 31 year old Gold Glove Outfielder and HR Champ.  He also will have most of his salary paid for by the Dodgers over the course of the next 6 years.  I believe that even if he is traded the Dodgers pay this salary.  If he is released, they definitely pay it.  Is he worth a roster spot and a position in either LF or RF?

Michael Young  - He has expressed an interest to play in NY and move to 2B.  With the Mets having a rapidly aging Castillo at 2B, wouldn’t this add a nice sure addition to the lineup?  He is a Gold Glove SS, who gets 200 hits per season.  He is also a right handed bat, which the Mets could really use.

Jon Garland  - He is 29, and is a 2 time 18 game winner.  He hasn’t missed a start in 7 major league seasons.  He was 14 - 8 last season with the LA Angels.  He will give you 32 starts and 200+ innings every season.  His career ERA is 4.47, all in the AL.  This could drop in the NL.  He has never pitched at Shea, and has pitched 4 times at Yankee Stadium, unsuccessfully.  He has had 2 appearances against the Phillies.  The one at Citizens Bank Park, he only gave up 1 ER over 6 IP.
