NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Mets were close to an agreement Saturday on a one-year contract with Moises Alou, who would replace oft-injured left fielder Cliff Floyd.

The deal, worth about $8 million to $9 million, would contain an option for 2009. Alou would have to pass a physical before the contract is finalized. The negotiations were disclosed by a baseball official who spoke on condition of anonymity because talks were ongoing.

Nothing quite like replacing the jurassic Cliff Floyd with the ancient Moises Alou. Recipe for success.

good because I had read the A's "were interested in Alou."

I'd like to see the Twins bring Alou in to be their DH, but not at this sort of money. He's worth about half that salary, IMO.

Who played more last season? Floyd or Alou? I bet its real close.

Done deal per ESPN.

Who played more last season? Floyd or Alou? I bet its real close.

And to answer my own question, Alou-98 games, Floyd-97.
