Projected Mets Lineup: - 2011-2015

There's a 1000 ways of predicting this, but this is how I see it right now:

            2011       2012       2013      2014      2015


1B     Davis      Davis       Davis     Davis      Davis


2B    Murphy  Havens    Havens   Havens    Havens


SS     Reyes   Tejada     Flores     Flores      Flores


3B   Wright   Wright     Wright    Wright    Wright


LF      Bay       Bay           Bay      Gomez     Gomez


CF  Beltran   Pagan      Puello      Puello      Puello


RF   Pagan     Duda      A-Rod      A-Rod      A-Rod


C    Thole     Thole      Thole       Thole      Thole


SP Santana Santana   Santana    Urbina     Urbina


SP Pelfrey  Pelfrey    Pelfrey     Pelfrey    Pelfrey


SP  Niese    Niese       Niese        Niese       Niese


SP Dickey  Harvey    Harvey     Harvey     Harvey


SP   Gee     Mejia       Mejia      Mejia        Mejia

Some thoughts:

1. The team does need more.

2.  The future of first base depends on the production by Davis. Wright would move here around 2014 if Davis falters.

3. The team would be stronger if Reyes is resigned. This would move Flores to the outfield.

4. A high draft pick for a catcher would seem the right choice.

5. One more high end starter out of the 2011 draft would greatly strengthen the roation, around 2014.

6. This kind of projection exposes the weakness of the Mets' outfielders in the system.

  1. No Kirk Niuwenhuis in the outfield? Mark Cohoon as Sp or RP?

  2. All this Puello talk recently. +OBP, +arm, great speed...I get it. But why hasn't he been playing CF (where you place him)?

  3. Morning.

    I like Captain Kirk but I only project him (like many others) as a 4th outfielder.

    Re Cohoon... I listed no RPs... but I do believe he has the talent to make the Mets pen by 2012

    Maining because the old Mets brass gave CF to den Dekker.

    You can't go wrong drafting CFers and the Mets have a bunch of them right now, but one of the reasons Puello is now the top OF prospect is the fact that the other minor league outfielders only project out as 4th OFers or too earlt to tell/not enough tools to project
