A: Not really. But good try anyway Tom and Mack.<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />1. The four starters here now (1-4) are gelling and not smelling. Yes, there will always be injuries with your best starters, but hopefully rotation depth can be improved to smooth out those brief injuries. So far that depth is for the most part absent.<br /><br />My candidate for the next homegrown NY Mets starter? Between these two, Drew Smith and Nabil Crismatt. Drew has that 98-99 mph deGrom ramp up thing, a mid-90's 4 seamer and 80 mph change. Crismatt just keeps getting better and better. On Smith, the Mets have Ryder Ryan, Tyler Bashlor, Eric Hanhold, Gerson Bautista, and Johua Torres as right handed relievers on the way up. And Dave Roseboom from the leftside to relieve as well. They could spare Drew Smith becoming a solid starter. His stuff is that good I think.<br /><br />2. The Mets just called up (finally) 1B Peter Alonso and 2B Jeff McNeil to AAA Vegas. Add in possibly others to this coming along (like Thompson for instance) and you can see the core of the future beginning to take form I think.<br /><br />3. A sports franchise has to be able to honestly assess not only their current and future player personnel, but their own tactics and strategies in building the current and past (25 man) team rosters. In other words, has it worked out to their own expectation? Without doing this, improvement year to year is probably going to remain improbable and unlikely.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-52649613289671575682018-06-15T11:11:25.996-04:002018-06-15T11:11:25.996-04:00General Comedic Observations

Sandy...the question was what has killed the mets...<br />Sandy not hitting a home run (like you would say about cespedes or any other hitter) <br />why is it that you have to wait to evaluate drafts years later but then its revisionist? <br />you only get credit when its good? i say you get non stop criticism when its bad... <br />so if he hit home runs then we are not suffering talent now are we? What about Justin Turner... Because he didnt hustle? <br />what about the fact that if he had it his way it should have been carlos gomez?<br />and not trading Reyes? <br />let not forget the wasted money every year...<br /><br />SANDY is the worse thing about this team... <br /><br />Eddie from Coronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11721279332487207089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-84517987911905738792018-06-14T12:10:20.356-04:002018-06-14T12:10:20.356-04:00Eddie, 4 big first round boo boos for sure. Nimmo...Eddie, 4 big first round boo boos for sure. Nimmo so far is playing like a successful 2nd rounder, considering what year he was drafted in. And I believe at the time, Jose Fernandez was clearly considered by other teams as a far superior choice to Nimmo - it isn't revisionist, after the fact 2nd guessing, which is much more the case with Smith vs. Judge.<br /><br />Bottom line:<br /><br />Poor decisions have huge consequences.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-27775515518858477432018-06-14T11:41:23.536-04:002018-06-14T11:41:23.536-04:00Reese
