Lots of sub par performances last year still got them to 629. I think they'll improve offensively at most positions.<br /><br />If the fences were not moved in, I'd have lowered that 30-50 runs.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-80807682220949915202015-02-17T15:56:35.752-05:002015-02-17T15:56:35.752-05:00I am fine with Recker in the backup role.

Very tough role.<br /><br />BTW, respectfully, Tom's runs projections strike me as wildly, almost insanely optimistic. He's talked about a very broad 710-790 range, zeroing on 750 runs.<br /><br />In 2014, 3 MLB teams were over 750 -- and only CO from the NL w/ 755. Eight teams were over 700 -- only CO and LA from the NL.<br /><br />The Mets scored 629.<br /><br />In 2013, Mets scored 619. Four teams in MLB were over 750 -- only St. Louis in the NL. Colorado was 10th in runs with 706, good for 2nd in NL.<br /><br />Mets scored 650 in 2012; 710 in 2011. <br /><br />James Prellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342728812342563278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-67033760118607692572015-02-16T17:36:43.207-05:002015-02-16T17:36:43.207-05:00Dekker, Puello, and Montell are at risk of that ph...Dekker, Puello, and Montell are at risk of that philosophy, Reese.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-78549002284700064522015-02-16T15:12:41.503-05:002015-02-16T15:12:41.503-05:00You're absolutely right.

To put that in perspective, that's Kirk Nieuwenhuis/Curtis Granderson territory. Wait, they tolerate those human windmills, why should I expect accountability here?<br /><br />Reese Kaplanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993445356545875409noreply@blogger.com
