    Agreed. On a different note with no disrespect to Omar or Sandy… how sad is it that not even the Padres were interested in Fmart on a waiver claim? Willing to bet that not even Omar wanted to go down that road again.

      Sometimes, it’s just not all about perceived talent. You have to have the mindset and motivation to put it all together at the major league level.

      I’m wondering if it actually isn’t better if you’re a kid down in the minors with talent who flies under the radar. No expectations might equal no pressure for some.

  I think\hope Ike is going to be a monster this year!

  Let’s hope this is true. We’ve seen and heard optimistic predictions for players coming back from injury in the past (Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado, Johan Santana) only to be disappointed. Considering the Mets track record with injured players I’ll hold my excitement until Davis is actually on the field and playing as he’s capable.

  Man, crossing my fingers this is not just the obligatory ‘good to go’ remark all injured players utter in ST.

  If healthy, easily the best hitter on the team.

    Certainly was last year, I wish someone from the past could step up or be healthy enough to challenge that this year.

  I don’t think we should be worried about his hitting. It’s his running and moving around 1st base. Hopefully he can be himself and not have Bill Buckner ankles.

  That collision and Ike’s injury shows we need better leadership out of the catcher position. As the field general the catcher needs to let his infielders know who’s ball it is if two guys are calling for it. With that said, I like Ike to have a big year especially with the fences being moved in.

  Great article from ESPN…would have loved to put it in the shoutbox…however, once again, it is gone for some reason.

  On paper, this article seems pretty accurate. Wake me in 2014.

    Good god…final tally = 29 for the Mets.

    I don’t think I needed to see this analysis on paper to know where we stand. Thanks, ESPN…….

      To be honest, there really isn’t much to argue about it either. The Mets are, without question, the front-runners to finish in last place this season. If the Nats get Fielder…then the Mets lead as front-runner for last place exceeds.
