), and Jarrod Washburn (Mariners), relievers such as Scott Eyre (Cubs), Luis Ayala (Nationals), and David Weathers (Reds), and outfielders such as Craig Monroe (Twins), Randy Winn (Giants), and Brian Giles (Padres) are all candidates to clear waivers and change teams before the August 31 non-waiver trade deadline. And then there's always the option of free agent starter Freddy Garcia, who is working out and will be ready to pitch within a week or two, according to his agent. Hernandez and Monroe have already been designated for assignment by Minnesota, so depending on the severity of the inuries to Maine and Ryan Church, the Mets may consider either player as an option. As I've said all along, I think Brian Giles is the best fit for the team despite his left-handedness, so I hope he becomes available.

Francisco Cordero provides them with the lights out closer they lacked last year which means that David Weathers can return to the set up role where he should be more comfortable. After those two, there is much less certainty and if the starters are unable to go deep into ballgames, which is a real possibility outside of Harang and Arroyo, the Reds will be in trouble.
