Mets' inactions are hurting them

What big free agents have signed this off-season? Jason Marquis, Garrett Adkins, Mike Gonzalez, John Lackey, Latroy Hawkins, Mike Cameron, etc. You get the point.
How many of those guys went to the Mets? None.
Who has the Omar Minaya signed? Let me think... Chris Coste, Henry Blanco, Mike Hessman, Clint Everts, Ryota Igarashi, and Elmer Dessens. None really what you would call big free agents.

In past off-seasons Omar Minaya has made a big move or two to acquire top talent. This year, he has not signed or traded for a top of the line player. I don't understand how move can be made all around the Mets, and Omar Minaya has done absolutely nothing! Ok, Matt Holliday and Jason Bay are still on the Market, but how has he not signed a starting pitcher, or a starting catcher? John Lackey, Randy Wolf, and Jason Marquis are on the Red Sox, Brewers, and Nationals respectively.
Speaking of the a Natinals, they have signed Ivan Rodriguez, and traded for Brian Bruney, along with the signing of Marquis. Now when the Nationals are making more major moves than you, there is something very wrong!

The Brewers signed Randy Wolf, and Latroy Hawkins on the same day! How did Omar not even factor into their decisions to go there? Shouldn't he want a starter and reliever? Couldn't Omar have signed them too? I would assume so, given that the brewers are a small market team. He could have out-bidded them.
from all of the reports that circulated John Lackey, none said that the Mets had even offered him a contract. How is that possible when you need a #2 starter? Ben Sheets anyone?

According to many sources, R.A. Dickey is close to signing a minor league deal with the Mets... I know it's a minor league deal, but still Omar needs to step up his game, or else he is out.
