A winter under the radar that of the Mets, a team of high and above all low in the last 10 years, never lucky especially from the point of view of injuries. It was the injured who came back in good health to make up the quotations of the Mets that no one was calculating anymore even for the victory of the NL East, already given to the Washington Nationals by many opinion leaders. A division the NL East that seems much more competitive than the forecasts with the Braves and the Phillies in clear improvement and with only Marlins apparently out of the games. The Queens team has attracted quite a few attention after the brilliant start with the record of 9-1, with the only defeat arrived at home against the Cardinals result of a great job on the mountain of Luke Weaver. The main reasons for this record are a globally dominant pitching stuffs able to be first in the MLB with 2.47 of ERA, second in the batting average granted with .204 and third in the WHIP with 1.10. These are statistics to say the least impressive that if maintained over time would bring the Mets very high and the potential to do so there are all seen that the full rotations is the best of MLB counting that Harvey seems back on a level of discrete form and that Wheeler has grown a lot especially in the choice of launches, plus add that Syndengaard and DeGrom have both returned almost 100% after their injuries and this means that for the first time since their appearance in the World Series lost to the Royals can count on their better rotation. Praising departing pitchers should not forget a bullpen also found mainly thanks to the return of the closer Familia able to send strikeout anyone considering its remarkable speed, to make the difference are the players so far emerged as Gsellman, Lugo, Ramos and Robles that are providing continuous convincing performances that can keep the games on the desired tracks.
As for the lineup as at the beginning of each season the temperatures are low and affect the batting statistics and the Mets lineup is halfway in every MLB statistic, as for the batting average there will be slight improvements but improvements more will be in the power statistics such as homerun and double as their lineup there are bats like Cespedes, Bruce and Frazier able to do a lot of damage with their "muscles". In addition, the New York franchise hopes to return to see the diamond Captain Captain America "David Wright now in the pits for many seasons for a series of physical problems that have not allowed him to play baseball, there seems to be improvements in the his health condition and his eventual return could give the Mets that something more in continuity and experience that this lineup is missing. Although it will no longer be the phenomenal third base that was in the past his leadership and his talent (offensive and defensive) remain and even if the possibilities are not on his side ever rule it out because of his love for the shirt and his great willpower.
The Mets for me I can fight to the end for the leadership of the division and a place to playoffs and the key to do it is not to trade or sign a player but remain healthy because they are a complete but fragile and is a feature that in a moment can transform a promising season into a total disaster to be forgotten.
