Due to financial concerns the Brewers are considering letting Kevin Mench go. Mench platooned last year and at his salary for a mid-market team they just can't afford a part time player. The Mets don't have those type of problems as evident with Shawn Green making all-star money to ride the bench (mid-season). Mench only had 288 plate appearances, which is half of his usual amount and still hit .267 with 8 HRs and 20 doubles. The 28 y/o righty is a .271 lifetime batter with a .465 SLG percentage. In 2005 he hit 25 HRs, 33 doubles and drove in 73 runs. Whether the Mets trade Milledge or not he would be a nice piece and will only cost money after being non-tendered.
