Yes my Mets are beyond a mess. 4th in that division is likely. 6 months of shitty baseball watching ahead for me.

How's the farm? Any good Met prospects to look forward to? Late season call ups can help a fan get through the dog days of summer if/when your team is out of the race.

Ike Davis pounds the crap out of the ball. Should be nice when the Mets call him up in June to replace Murphy/Jacobs tandem.

A healthy Fernando Martinez would be nice

Jenny Mejia - may be someone to see on the mound.

Anyone else has a few years down the road.

Should get us to the cusp of 70 wins.

The Mets farm system is devoid of talent though they do have a couple of interesting guys who are really young/long ways away.

If Mejia plays in the majors this year for that crappy team they should shoot Minaya. The kid has been rushed through the system and has never even thrown more than 95 innings in a minor league year let alone MLB.

Devoid is strong. Not solid.

Either way it isnt good. Outside of Martinez, Ike Davis, Wilmer Flores, Mejia and Jeurys Familia and maybe Josh Thole there is nothing. And most of those guys are either a long ways way (Flores and Familia) or B level prospects (with Mejia being the exception)

Do you think the Mets will break .500 for the season?

tigerfan · #13 03-29-2010, 03:47 PM

79-83 would be my guess for the Mets.

I think Vegas had the over/under at 82.5

The Reds dont have enough starting pitching and will need career years from the entire outfield and Rolen to stay healthy to be close. That is highly unlikely.

This was pretty accurate too. You might have both NL awards correct and Longoria and Lester had very good seasons as well. Your only misses were the western divisions.
