2014

A lot happens on these last few days before the season ends. Some teams, like Baltimore, have changed their fate with other team’s castoffs. The Mets signed Tim Teufel’s son yesterday, which was a nice gesture; however, my hopes are that they let things stand for now so we can determine exactly what we have in this organization. The rotation is sort of fucked again, but I think we’re all going to be pleasantly surprised with a 3-4-5 of Wright-Davis-Duda. My concentration will continue to be the development of players that can turn this into a 2014 contender… Zack Wheeler, Travis d’Arnaud, Jeurys Familia, Jack Leathersich, and Rafael Montero (IMO) will all make a difference as early as September this season (20% of you 25-man). Montero is the wild card here. If he continues to excel, you can dump both Santana and Marcum, end September with Niese-Harvey-Gee-Wheeler-Montero and have Syndergaard in the wings. Domingo Tapia joins the team as your closer, Parnell moves back to the 8^th inning, and Edgin and Lethersich are your 7^th inning guys. This is now a quality pitching staff. And, you haven’t spent a buck yet on a new outfield.

I like it.
