Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com already predicted the Mets would finish last in the NL East, now Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated gets into the act with not only a last place finish but a 74-win season.
Oh, and he doesn't seem like he thinks much of K-Rod either:
"The only safe prediction for the coming baseball season regards Francisco Rodriguez's $17.5 million vesting option for 55 game finishes. He won't be getting it, the games or the money.
K-Rod was brilliant this spring, and he may well continue that brilliance. But he isn't getting those games. Certainly not from the Mets. Nobody wants to pay more than Mariano Rivera money to another closer, least of all a team that has, shall we say, financial problems."
I personally prefer David Wright's sunny optimism:
"We have a bunch of guys with chips on their shoulders."
Let's Go Mets. Two more days until Opening Day.
