1/24: Jayson Stark of ESPN says that Carlos Delgado should finds employers that need a DH because it unlikely he can be a team’s everyday first baseman.

Stark quoted one scout, “He’s got no range at first — none. He actually limps out there. He can’t play first on a day-to-day basis. I think he can still DH, because he’s still got power. But to play first for a team like the Mets? Can’t see it.”

The Mets and Blue Jays have been interested in Delgado this off-season. The Mets have a first baseman in Daniel Murphy, so if Delgado comes to New York they can platoon him with Murphy. The Blue Jays have a DH in Adam Lind, so if Toronto goes with Delgado he will be expected to play first base.

Delgado played in 26 games for the Mets in 2009 before going down to a hip injury that required surgery.  You can see Delgado’s statistics here.
