Shoud the Mets Try To Trade for Nick Franklin?

The Mets have been trying to figure out how to upgrade the shortstop position. It appears that signing Stephen Drew is unlikely. They are now talking to the Mariners about trading for infielder Nick Franklin. Last year, Franklin hit. 225 with 12 homers and 45 RBI's in 369 AB's. He drew only 42 walks and struck out 113 times. The Mets will probably have to trade one of their young pitchers like Rafael Montero in order to acquire Franklin. As much as Ruben Tejada is a major liability at shortstop, I don't think trading away young pitching for a guy who hit .225 last year is the best way to go. I think the Mets should try to find other teams to trade for at shortstop.
