Playoffs Set Except for Seeding [Mets Out]

The Mets will win around 85 games this season, which is fine in raw numbers though the Brewers late burst (Cubs/Phils collapsed, Diamondbacks earlier being the last of a bunch of wild card wannabees falling out of it) made it not enough even if they had a few more wins. The Indians (helped by the Mets sweep) lost out even with over 90 wins.

They also have a suitable replacement (Stroman) if Wheeler leaves by free agency though I would have liked to get something for him other than maybe a pick. After a bit of a normal start, DeGrom also looks to be Cy Young again. We also saw some young stars though the SS took time to get into defensive shape. This was part of a variety of issues though Diaz/Famalia was the most blatant. I say stick with Lugo in the pen. Goals: stay around .500 at the All Star Break; your strong second half habits might be enough there.

Many want Mickey Callaway to go and though he made some bad calls (and annoying parrots upper management b.s.), the team lost for other reasons and came back with a strong second half. So, unless they can get a good replacement, "eh" to giving up on that guy.
