What Should Happen to LoDuca?

SCZA reports that the Mets may let Paul LoDuca go after this season.

One main reason to keep LoDuca is that the pitching staff is doing very well, and perhaps he plays some role in that.

Another positive for LoDuca is that he is reported to be a leader in the clubhouse despite his latest outburst. And I don't necessarily believe that just because some players say they weren't upset by his comments, that it's definitely true.

While I wouldn't have a problem at all if they resigned LoDuca, if a better alternative existed (one better than Rony Paulino), I'd want to the Mets to explore it because whie LoDuca hits for a decent average he has no power, no speed, he seldom walks and his OPS is horribly low.
