Pre-game Pondering

Last night on Baseball Tonight, commentators Larry Bowa and Buster Olney were listing which teams were buyers--"glass is half full" teams who should think of upgrading for this year--and sellers--"glass is cracked and leaking" teams who should abandon ship for '05, building for the future by unloading more expensive talent. Larry and Buster agreed that the Mets are sellers, a team with too many holes to contend this year. I know they're under .500 and in last place, and I remember calling them a very, very bad team just a week ago, but is it time for the Mets to run the white flag up the pole?
