Say hello to Derek Lowe?

Is Derek Lowe on the Mets mind? Seems it.

From John Harper in the Daily News:
Even so, for a long time it felt like their night, after Derek Lowe had given them a gutsy five innings on three days' rest, surrendering two runs and no doubt making him even more appealing as a free agent to both the Mets and Yankees.

In fact, one person familiar with the thinking of the Met decision-makers said yesterday Lowe is "very much on their radar."
Gutsy veteran, with good numbers? I like it.

Since 2002, Lowe has thrown at least 182 innings, with a high of 222 in 2005. The last four years, his ERA has been sub-4. Since '05, he's walked a high of 59 in a season, and struck out 146, 123, 147 and 147 in those four seasons.

Where do I sign? I'll take him.
