The New York Mets will begin their spring training game schedule on Saturday and are coming off a year in which they possessed the seventh-best rotation in the majors in terms of ERA. The bullpen wasn’t nearly the same (25th with a combined 4.95 ERA), but that isn’t hindering reliever Brad Brach‘s expectations of this entire staff.

“If guys pitch to their career norm I think we have a chance to really, especially with the starters that we have, I think the staff as a whole has a chance to do something real special,” Brach said at spring training in Port St.
