My Mets are in full PUNT. It's ALL about 2014 or 2015 or whenever.

But, they are going to be TERRIBLE.

They lost their two best pitchers of the 1st half last year, the only half they were competitive in. Dickey was traded for catchers of the future. Santana is done.

They have no OF. They have Wright. A passable ML SS in Tejada. A possible gem C in D'Arnaud. Maybe they can get Ike back to 2010-11 form, but I doubt it.

It's ALL about their young pitchers. I remember the lost years of Generation K. You remember all the hype of Joba-Hughes-Kennedy. These things don't often come to pass. They did for the Mets in 69. They did again in 86. It's a lottery ticket to think that's the panacea. But, all we've got at the moment is that lottery ticket. And, all the numbers have to come up big.
