The Great Debate: Should the Mets sign Pat Burrell? - I want to hear from you!

The Mets have a minor void in left field. They can opt to turn David Murphy/Nick Evans combo if they want. They can also sign Juan Rivera, who is a Minaya favorite...Nobody has talked about Pat Burrell, who seems he will out casted after winning a World Championship....Should the Mets sign this Mets killer???

New Phillies' GM Ruben Amaro has said that he would like to spend money on  his pitching staff and that don't mean Pat Burrell. The Phillies have also discussed  Matt Holliday to replace Burrell.

 I know the Mets won't be spending big bucks on the offense (as Omar has pointed out), but Burrell might come cheaper, just to be a thorn in the Phillies' side.

Pat Burrell's last 3 years:

He is defensively challenged, but he is a right handed bat that can hit lefties. He has a decent OBP. I don't think the Mets should go after him, but it has been a great debate with friends and fans alike...
