: Sorry, that’s a pick ‘em. I’m more comfortable with deGrom

: Not too much excitement – it’s a rebuilding team

Regarding
the comment on the Braves, I agree that they are not going to offer up that
much competition this season. Who the Mets have to worry about are the Marlins
who have added a fair amount of quality pieces to their team in the off-season.
As
for Tanaka vs. Harvey, Tanaka started 20 games for the Yankees last year and
went 13-5, 2.77, 136.1-IP, 141-K, 21-BB. This is after going 24-0 in Japan the
year before. Frankly, being simply compared to him is an honor in itself.
It
will be interesting to see how these two evolve over the remainder of this
decade. My money is on Harvey, but, either way, you’re comparing the top two
pitchers in New York baseball.
Harvey over Tanaka, I agree with Pedro and think Tanaka's elbow will catch up with him and hinder his performance. Harvey will be better than 2013.
