I've broken this down on a few thread this is actually a better Mets team then the last few years IMO.

Santana - Will be good for at least 16 wins min IMO. I doubt he is a 20 win 200k pitcher still but should have a lot left in the tank.

RADickey - Looks pretty darn good to me. 3.28 ERA and has really got his pitches working.

Gee, Niese, Schwinden, Matt Harvey, and even Jenrry Mejia may be back in the mix at some point. One of these guy will have a 15 win season. Very few teams have that kind of young prospect. All 5 of these guys have good quality to them.

Pelfrey - Dont overlook Pelfry. May not be a one or a two but can fill that 4 or 5th spot just as good as most. 11 wins wouldn't be unheard of IMO.

Call me crazy I like there pitching. Yeah it isn't Philly's lineup but I'd match them against a lot of teams. Santana is a viable #1. Dickey is a Viable #2. They have a lot of prospects that could step up big and a vet to show them the way. The bull pen is pretty good. Jon Rauch, Ramon Ramirez, Bobby Parnell, D.J. Carrasco, and Frank Francisco are all solid pitchers. They should be good for around 80 wins.

1st base is Davis who is getting better and is already really good.
2nd base you have Murphy who is a solid player.
SS You have a good player in Tajada and a 5 star prospect in Wilmer Flores who will likely be in the mix. Even if one of these guys ends up a Utility it is a good thing.
3rd Wright - one of the best
C - OK not much but who really does?
LF - Bay - Not worth what your paying but is an OK player.
CB - Kirk Nieuwenhuis? I'm guessing here CF is really the biggest weakness on this team Kirk is really there best shot at a real player IMO. Andres Torres is not an answer here.
RF Duca - Hard not to like him as a young player.

Last year the METS struggles with hitting this year there looks to be a LOT of % hitters that can pick up the slack from dropping Reyes. .264 BA last year was top 6 I don't think it goes down all that much. Yes no really big speed guy but a healthy Wright, Duda, and Davis they should show a lot more power. Overall the bats look fine. I'll go so far as to say they are good for 150 HRs with the newer bats. Which will go a long way. Still below average but an improvement non the less.
