Ian Kinsler
The Mets have plenty of options as far as acquiring a second baseman  from signing Neil Walker for a second go-round in Queens  to trading for  Ian Kinsler   Dee Gordon  or Jason Kipnis.
I think  Kinsler  makes the most sense  primarily because  he ’ll be on a one-year deal  and  it  will cost nothing of value to trade for  him  because the rebuilding Tigers just want to unload  his  $11 million.
 Kinsler  had a poor year offensively as well  but scouts think  he  lacked motivation after the Tigers’ season fell apart  and  he ’s still rangy and solid defensively.  He ’ll be playing for a contract — I’d take a shot with  him .
