But if reasonably healthy when they get there, the team could do well in the post season, with a chance to win it all. LGM!

Crystal ball eh? :-) All teams have pitching injuries, but it's more worrisome with the Mets given their pitchers' ages and the lack of depth, especially having already lost Quintana for at least half the season. Verlander is replaced by Megill, who has looked terrific at times, but so far has either tailed off or broke down when given a starting spot.

I agree. Senga is talented, but has thrown 148 and 111 innings the past 2 seasons. So we'll see....
