If the Nats are this bad the question should be, "what happened to last year's team having no shot at the playoffs"

Or "Look what having a keith law rated top 50 pitching prospect gets you......Cole letting the braves bat around in the second."

I believe the Mets are in the start of a long run at the top of the NL. At least one of the teams. Our pitching isn't on that level yet and they will have crazy amounts of money to spend soon.

If the Mets win the division it will be due to the Nats struggling and us rebuilding more than them being that good. The Phillies stinking and Miami not starting well is also a factor too. Just a bad division right now even if the Nats get it together.

I still think last years team had no shot. Look at who is doing well this year for the Braves. Markakis/AJ/Miller/Gomes. Are those guys brought in if the old guard is still here? I doubt it. Is there money to get those guys? Absolutely not.

Lets face it. Its early and it will most likely change but bbasically every single player that has been brought in this offseason has been a huge plus. Lets not act like we would have had this team plus Heyward/Upton/Gattis.

Edit: Cahil/Stults haven't been....yet.
 
Cole isn't going to be a successful pitcher at this level. He has long arm action plus a delay in his windup that lets a batter know what's coming.

Agree to disagree. I think hte Mets are loaded with young talent throughout the organization including the major league level.

That may be, but I'm not sure they're as good as their record now and likely at the season will indicate. If the Nats really are this bad and, of course, with us being in rebuild mode, the division right now may just be flatout bad 2-5.

IIRC Mets have a higher rated farm system than us too.....

maybe we should just quit.

Its not about that. I just think that with the Nats down I think its the Mets division to win even if we kept last years unwatchable but talented team.
 
Harper hit the sh*t out of that pitch.

PS--Nats aren't that bad. If/When Rendon gets back, their line-up gets better. Pitching will be the key.

Right plus the Mets lost Wheeler, Wright for a time, key bullpen arms. That might not kill them now but if we weren't rebuilding and if Nats and others not struggling so bad it would. In other words, they'd be more at least a year away as expected in that case.

They can't replace Wright (even though he hasn't been the same in a while) but the Mets have pitching for days and their replacement for Darnaud is another top catching prospects. Legitimately, the Mets are loaded and have much more help on the way.
