SAVAGE VIEWS – HOW DID I DO?

  

SAVAGE VIEWS – HOW DID I DO?

About this time a year ago, I played the optimist and projected the Mets would score about 100 more runs than they did in 2023. I forecast that their starting lineup would outperform their 2023 numbers. Boy, was I wrong. However, my guess was that they were a playoff caliber team.

Below is a comparison of my projected 2024 numbers vs actual.

I was way off base with McNeil, Alonso, Nimmo and Alvarez. 

 On the other hand, my other forecasts were not far off.

Also, I see we got some bad news on Montas. 

Perhaps it opens up the possibility of Brandon Sproat... 

making the team out of spring training.

Good job, Ray. Hey, though, who’s Gilbert?

Rds 900. said...

Good question. Maybe we'll find out this year.

Tom Brennan said...

Gilbert by the trade deadline, perhaps, or if there are injuries to non-pitchers.

My forecasts: Mauricio in Queens by Memorial Day. Marte traded, Winker released. Acuna up also.

Taking reps at third this morning...

Mauricio, Baty, Vientos

Is Jose Quintana a possible short term starter for the Mets in order to keep the six man rotation feasible?

Mack Ade said...

He is pitching game one for Columbia national.team
