"The Mets were sixth in the National League in runs scored last season, despite missing Ike Davis, a half season from Daniel Murphy and Carlos Beltran, a poor year from Angel Pagan, and with Jose Reyes on and off the disabled list, and with David Wright and Jason Bay having down years. Yet, they scored more runs than every other team in their division. At the same time, the Mets were sixth in the league with 24 blown saves."
That's where the new bullpen guys and the better defensive centerfielder come into play. Just 10 of those blown saves being converted turns a 77-85 team into a 87-75 team.
