Garret Anderson?

The Angels have just declines next year's option on Garret Anderson. Anderson is a left handed LF who hit .293 with 15 HR and 84 RBI in 145 games this season. He has always put up solid number but he is also 36 and played a good chunk of his games this year at DH. He could be willing to sign a one or two year deal to play LF until F-Mart is ready. The Mets could go this route if they decide not to go with one of the bigger FA's or explore the trade market. He should be fairly cheap and the Mets could spend the extra money on pitching. I wouldn't sign him unless Manny wants 4+ years, we don't go for Dunn or Ibanez. Thoughts?

I'm gonna miss him but his time is almost up.

he had a great career and is on the downside of it. he's been injured way too much and should stay in the AL so he can DH. his knees and legs are all weak and will be injury-prone. would make no sense for the mets to sign him... sounds like Moises Alou.
