Possible Injury Solutions

As Adam correctly pointed out, the Mets are in serious danger of not being able to field a team. You think we would have learned our lesson after Alou missed half the season, but decided to sign no legitimate backup outfielders (Shannon Stewart, Corey Patterson). But instead of crying over spilled milk and herniated discs, I will examine possible solutions to our injury problems.

Playing Brady Clark at 1B:
Possibly a combination of Tom Brady and Clark Kent, Brady Clark possesses the superhuman powers of neither. However, he has shown an uncanny ability to be somewhat solid in the past, but nothing exciting. He's never played first base before, but how hard can it be? He's half Super Man.
I give this move: 5 Thumbs Up

Trading Jorge Sosa for Marcus Thames:
With the sudden increase in effective arms in the pen (Register, Wise, Padilla, etc.) Sosa is even more expendable that he was before. Detroit could use some bullpen help. I was never a fan of Thames, but he has some power and I would rather play him full time than Endy Chavez, who has shown that he is not a full time player.
I give this move: 4 Thumbs Up, 1 Thumb Down

Trading for Xavier Nady:
Versatile is a word I would never before have used to describe Xavier Nady. But with the current holes in the outfield and at first base, Nady could be used to effectively fill our holes. But at what cost? Nady would certainly cost more than Thames, but do we have the pieces to even make this possible? Joe Smith? Jon Neise? Ruben Gotay? I doubt the Pirates would bite on this.
I give this move: 7 Thumbs Up, 2 Thumbs Down

Trading for Dan Johnson:
With the minor-league signing of Mike Sweeney, and the Billy Beane man-crush on Jack Cust, Dan Johnson has suddenly become expendable to the A's. Not that he has been the definition of consistent over his short career, but he is still young, he has power and he walks a lot. We could do much worse than getting this guy, but what will Beane want back? Johnson is out of options, so maybe we can get him "on the cheap."
I give this move: 6 Thumbs Up

Signing Kenny Lofton:
Yes, he is almost as ancient as the guy he would be replacing, but the guy can still play. He can still hit around .300 and he still has a solid set of legs. This would be the perfect Omar Minaya move. Believe me, I took Omar Minaya Math 101, so I know that two 40 year old players = one 30 year old player.
I give this move: 7.5 Thumbs Up

Trading for Lastings Milledge:
Milledge is a talented young outfielder with great bat speed and huge upside. He literally drips talent from the dreadlocks that his former team made him cut. I think his combination of power and speed would fit well with direction of our team and our older players could serve as mentors. He probably wouldn't cost much- maybe an average catcher and a career fourth outfielder.
I give this move: 8 Thumbs Up

Well that's it for now. Obviously there are other possible solutions out there, but these are just a handful of things to think over.
