[quote="Paultzman" post=287750][quote="Logen" post=287745]Been a Met fan since Day 1 but let's face it, with infrequent short interludes the Mets have just been a consistently bad organization. I certainly still root but it is tough. I agree with LaDuca to the point that the Mets (Alderson and co.) basically put all their eggs in the young arms and outside of deGrom and to a lesser extent Syndegaard they have been busts. Every day players? Really no one on the team worth getting excited over. Rosario, has serious potential but he is still a baby with a lot of holes in that swing. Conforto? Potential has to turn into production eventually so also a disappointment. It appears someone or something convinced him to forego that beautiful swing to uppercut for homers, a la David Wright a few years into his career. . Cespedes? Ton of ability but in reality an inconsistent too often injured player. Bullpen, a disaster. No help on the farm. Adds up to same old Mets.[/quote]

Mets typically cheap out. Their big investment was Cespedes. They could have guaranteed a killer 1-3 in the rotation by investing in Arrieta, which would have made them front runners. Instead they invested in a bust.
