The New York Mets never did get their dream rotation together last year, but it's worth remembering their season ended because they couldn't score a run.
The Mets will go to spring training hopeful that dream rotation has recovered from various surgeries and hopeful they will be able to score a few runs in 2017.
As easy as it is to say the health of their starting pitchers is the biggest key for the Mets—four of their five young aces are still on their way back from one surgery or another—they can't win if their offense doesn't take a big step forward.
