The 2012 Mets
The Mets opened the season at 20-16. The good:
- Strong performances by a young, fun group of homegrown talent, particularly Daniel Murphy, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Josh Thole, and Ruben Tejada.
- David Wright has returned to 2006-2008 form.
- Johan Santana is a medical miracle, returning as the Mets ace.
- R.A. Dickey has been fantastic.
- Future looks bright, with a young team, tiny payroll, no bad long-term commitments, and a potentially very large revenue base.
The bad:
- Run differential of minus 13 might indicate that the Mets got lucky and are in fact far worse than their record.
- Ike Davis is off to a terrible start.
- After some very encouraging starts Mike Pelfrey went down with a season ending injury. The former first round pick has probably thrown his last game as a Met. The Mets have no viable 5th starter to replace him.
- The Mets ended April with the 3rd worst ERA in the NL and the 3rd most errors.
- 5.01 bullpen ERA, third worst in baseball.
