A right-hand bat or a left-hand arm?

The Mets may be targeting Rich Aurilia, according to Ken Davidoff.

Aurilia has seen time at all four outinfield positions over the last few years, with the bulk of his time being at first base with his range and speed now diminished. Last season with the San Francisco Giants, Aurilia hit .283, had an OBP of .332 and slugged .413.

He'd be a nice addition, but with all the people the Mets have brought on this off-season, where's that extra arm they so sorely need?

Davidoff goes on to note that they have some interest in the available lefties (Will Ohman, Joe Beimel, etc.) but believe they can fill the role internally, possibly with Casey Fossum or Tom Martin.

Though they shouldn't lean on either of those guys, hoping for a full, productive season out of them, the possibility of mixing and matching could work. It may not be the best move, but it's better than nothing.
