they have the best linup in the nl, but they need another starting pitcher to make a world series run.\np.s. braves are dead

its a damn good team thats for sure. but pujols is now injured, and who knows how long he will be gone. cabrera from the marlins is not exactly a great player, hes good dont get me wrong, but i would perhaps lean towards sumone like vernon wells or alex rios from toronto, who are both really hot this year. paplebon is amazing. so overall its a really good team, but perhaps not the greatest, but it doesnt get too much better than that.

I think that, so long as they keep having fun, they will keep winning. That is the key, I think, to this years Mets. If you watch them play, they're always smiling & laughing. Even Milledges home run celebration; even if many think it was excessive, HE was having the time of his life. They came together as a team, there are no prima donnas,  They want to win, not because of the ring or the World Series bonus, but because winning is more fun than losing.\n\nThey are remembering (and hopefully reminding everyone else) that baseball is a game, not  just big business. So long as their health stays good, and their rotation continues to produce, they're going all the way.

It looks like they're straightening out the pitching and if that works out they could have a great year. I hate to see Damon go but there are some good center fielders available.  I'd say it's another playoff but no world series year.

The Mets they way they have been getting guys should contend,the pitching is what may hold them back.

G'day Fistoflegend22,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nThe signing of Alfonso Soriano looks a good one albeit he is expensive. The best evidence of how good the offseason has been is how well they play next season.\n\nRegards

They are in a tough conference. Chances are slim at best, though not impossible if they win out. I wouldn't bet on them for this year but with a good draft and some free agent aquisitions, they could be there in a year or two.

they could possibly win one this year or next year. They have a good basketball team with labron james and are expected to make it to the mlb players, so they have a good chance this year

I think they'll win the div. , but the Cards. are looking the BEST in the Nat. league

It looks like it. This is a team to look out for. Manager Jim Leyland has this bunch playing exceptionally well. They are defensively sound and they have one of the better signal callers in the game behind the plate (Ivan Rodriguez) working with those young arms. Im not surprised by their start, Im more suprised they have sustained their momentum a month into the season.

Well, I hope so(I am a Mets fan, but live in Atlanta) but I don't think they are ready with the pitching staff they have now, but to make the playoffs they will have to win their division. The player who I hope will contribute the most is David Wright. But if they win I would let any of them be the main contributor.

They are a good team I like them alot but i also am a Cards fan so i look for there flaws.  other than Lee there outfield isnt that great.  also there corners are not that hot.  But some how with out Sheets they have started off 5-1 with todays lose.  Ohka is a very good pitcher and should look for him to end up the number 2 man by the end of the season.  But there bench is not that good and other than turnbow their bulpen is 3rd rate so look for them to come in a close 3rd place behind the Cards and Cubs

Hello fellow Mets fan.  Zito is the jewel in our championship crown.  \nZito\nGlavine (Mets will outbid ATL)\nMaine\nEl Duke\nPelfrey (He should be ready for the show)\n\nMarlins are asking a high price for Dontrelle, but what about Mark Mulder?  We could get him at a discount and reunite him w/ Rick Peterson.\nMy favorite site for Mets info is metsblog.com a must read for the Hot Stove and Winter Meetings.  Let's Go Mets.

No, essentially because of their weak starting pitching staff. Brandon Webb is superb, but currently their other 4 have been extremely inconsistent. Their offense is solid and they now have a decent bullpen. However, IMHO, they will need, at least, one more reliable starter. I'm a big fan, but believe they'll finish 2nd in the weakest division in MLB.

If EL duque works out,don't expect the Mets to keep making trades. They want to keep their farm system intact and getting a quality pitcher at this time will be costly.

Well, they are the Mets, aren't they?
