Ctorg hit on it, though. If the Mets played 6 inning games they'd be the favorite in the NL East. However, barring some sort of Godly weather interventions, that's not going to happen.

The Mets bullpen is arguably the worst in the National League, and easily the worst in the NL East. As for the lineup..

1. Reyes - Injury prone thus far in his career.
2. Matsui - One season in the majors.. lots of nagging injuries, bad defense, average offense.
3. Beltran - Overpaid, overhyped. Good, but not great.
4. Delgado - Also showing signs of age
5. Piazza - Declining quickly, and as we know.. very weak throwing catcher.
6. Cameron - Strikes out more than Bill Gates in high school.
7. Wright - No plate patience, thus #7 in the lineup. Maybe sixth. Unproven.
8. Floyd - Injury prone, and on the decline.

1. Pedro Martinez - Shoulder problems are a worry. 6-7 inning pitcher.
2. Tom Glavine - Aging, and can't beat the Braves.
3. Benson - Average starter. Barely. Hopefully Peterson can work a miracle.
4. Trachsel - Good for a #4, in my view. Only consistent Met lately.
5. Zambrano - Elbow problems, very sketchy control.

Bullpen:
Braden Looper - Hahha..
Mike DeJean - Do I even need to laugh at this one?
Jae Seo - Not the worst long reliever, comfortable with him.
Tyler Yates - Another long reliever? C'mon.
Aaron Heilman - Another.. long.. reliever? Actually no, not too long. He can't get anyone out.
Felix Heredia - Streaky pitcher. No confidence here whatsoever.
Matt Ginter - Another long reliever? Jeez.

Oh yeah, great team. Good job Omar.

Now please use the same list and point out their strengths instead of only pointing out the weakness.

No player is perfect, and this is not a good way to evaluate a team.
