Free Agent LHRP : What's out there for the Mets?

The Mets need left handed reliever to fill the void by trading Scott Schoeneweis. I decided to compile what's left on the board in the free agent lefty reliever market to show what the Mets have to choose from.

Here is the breakdown:

Joe Beimel - 31 years old (Type B)
