Well, it looks like the Mets actually managed to pull of (another) big free agent signing. Carlos Beltran is as good as signed. Combined with Pedro, the Mets might actually have a shot at not finishing in the cellar this year, and maybe even finishing with a winning record. Beltran is certainly a step in the right direction, but I’m still far from convinced the Mets will really be competitive. I do like the rotation, even without Leiter, but it could be better. I don’t know what’s happening at first base, but the rest of the infield should be solid (if they can stay healthy, which I doubt.) The outfield could use another big bat, but I guess it’ll have to do. Middle relief needs some serious work, but it’s possible something will get done about that.

I don’t think 2005 is the year anyone unseats the Braves, unfortunately. I’d be very happy with the wildcard, though. 🙂

Hopefully, Omar Minaya is here (well, there… why did I move out to California again?) to stay.
