Your 2015 Mets: Lets hope its not a Mess again amiright

[Say Hello to Ottis]

I have been battling myself all offseason on the mets. One second I love their upside and then the next second I cant stand anything that the team is doing. I am trying not to be completely negative because I realize the 2 overwhealming positives. deGromm and Harvey...Two guys that could be absolute ACE pitchers...and they have shown as much in the spring

The rest of the rotation right now is 1 point that drives me to drink...I don't see how Colon, Niese and Gee all need to be there. Montero, Matz or Syndergaard have to be in this rotation. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Maybe you ride Colon until he collapses but they cant be here all year.

Daniel Murphy...It is clear to everyone he will not be on the mets this time next year. If they do not trade him it will be an ultimate disgrace. He should have been traded in the offseason, if not at the deadline last year. Herrera proved last year that he could at least hold his own. Why not let him do that. If not Reynolds is there, and Flores if they ever get a shortstop.

The outfield looks improved, there is no denying that. Could it use an upgrade at one of the corner, probably. Would Granderson, Duda and Cuddyer splitting time be optimal yes. But Granderson has his stroke back this spring and looks good, despite the K's which you know are coming. Cuddyer looks fantastic. You just have to hope its not an Alou scenario and that he stays healthy. I werry about him being injured...it werries me

Can dunno be the player we want him to be...I hope so...although I hate him in the number 7

BRING HOME REYES AND THE FANS WILL GO HAM

gimme 84 wins, within sight of the 2nd NL Wild Card spot but falling short

Collins won't last the season...Backman or someone else comes in and lights a fire under the team

[Fiddle Elphier]

Nats lineup is in disarray going into the season. Rendon, Werth, and Span probably all miss Opening Day. Need to sneak in a W or 2 in this first series.

Yes, I know, their starting pitching is all healthy: Scherzer, Zimmerman, Strasburg to open.

Get me to the home opener at 3-3.

Mets announce Dillon Gee is the 5th starter. Because of course they do.

On another note, they're close to a 4 year $23 million extension on Juan Lagares with a $9.5 million option on the fifth year. Deal starts next year, so the deal is for 2016-2019 with a club option for 2020.

Total projected position-player WAR, offense plus defense, they're ranked 26th, with 19 WAR (tied with the White Sox and Mariners). Fangraphs is only projecting 1 WAR each out of LF and RF.

Angels are at the top, 35 WAR.

Surprisingly, at least to me, they have the Braves ranked high. 28 WAR, good for 5th.

ughhh 26...that's not great...was thinking they'd be under 20

I don't see how the braves could be that high either...is Simmons just on the moon as far as WAR
