With Opening Day just a day away, it is time for my annual predictions (I know you’ve all been waiting with bated breath). Will the season end with a parade up the Canyon of Heroes? Let’s discuss.
Let’s get one thing out of the way — the Mets are a much better team than they were last season and have a very good chance of making the postseason. They are stronger at first, second, catcher and the bullpen. The starting pitching might actually be getting better (despite Jason Vargas). They are not really weaker at any position (although the outfield could probably use another bat).
