We should go get Brian Wilson

[Cosmic_Canon]

I definitely think the Mets should go for Wilson.

1. Your bullpen is TERRIBLE!
2. He's actually good
3. He's an instant fan favorite (fear the beard) and he'll put people in the park
4. You can easily afford him

Brian Wilson Official Beard Day at Citi Field, have a pre-game competition of the best beards. Hell, you could probably do that w/o Wilson.

Wilpon would force Wilson to shave. Fun and good is against the rules at Citi Field.

Sounds fun!

Also there is a lot of SF Giant fans in NY, so maybe Wilson would bring them to the park.

Except at the Shake Shack

I would really hope they wouldn't force him to shave that beard.

I just honestly want to see how long he can grow it.

There should be a law against shaving something so wonderful.

[MetsFanatic19]

Sure, it's cool when Wilson's beard is below his waste, but when I go No-Shave November, it's considered "disgusting" and "unnecessary."

Will probably blow up in our face like the K-Rod deal.

K-Rod was a good closer, just overpaid. Wilson won't get anywhere near that much money.

[metswon69]

Yeah a deal similar to Madsons sounds about right.

1 yr/3.5 million guaranteed with incentives that could add it up to 7 million.

How can you not love the idea of Wilson closing games for Dickey?

Zen Bearded Man hands ball to Bearded Lunatic.

With Keith's stach and Wilsons beard Citi Field may implode.

[SILVER SEAVER]

The guy is flaky, coming off a serious injury and is all about self promotion. Those three things ain't gonna help this franchise moving forward or even just for one season.

Can it hurt? Hell, he can't be any worse than Acostalypse or the other pieces of crap.

please remeber the last great closer we signed bust

Please remember the last great closer (numbers-wise) we had.
We booed and threw him out of Shea. (Rightfully so, I might add).

There is no such thing as a great closer.
Mariano doesn't grow on trees, as even the Yankees have figured out.

You just have to find the right guy (right mentality in the case of NY) for your team.
