You only have to go back one year to see that a power pitcher won't always function in a new environment/league- Barry Zito. I would personally have put Zito up there with the cream of the crop in the AL, but he absolutly flopped in the NL with the biggest contract ever for a pitcher (I believe). I don't want to hear that the Mets are the best team in the NL, because like the article said above, you cant fully rely on someone to help every 5 days, us Braves fans learned that last year with Smoltz and Hudson even though it was more like a 4 day period for us, but you get my drift). Mets are now solid Phils are solid Bravos are solid this year should be fun I agree 100%.

I think the Mets are more than solid. The Mets have Santana (YES HE IS THAT GOOD), Pedro (Better than any other NL East's #2 Starter) and two pitchers who had 15 wins and ERA's under 4.00. They round it out with El Duque (If Healthy) and a number one draft pick in reserve. Then they have the NL Easts best closer. So I ask is that staff only solid? Oh then they have David Wright, Jose Reyes, and Beltran. Thats about 75- 80 hr's 270 RBI 140 or so SB's plus all can hit .300. If they stay healthy, the Mets clearly have more than just an edge.

He was. a 4.5 era is not great... it's barely good. Definitely not number 3 materially. Can Chipper stay in the lineup? If he can I will be the first to admit how good he is, but the guy misses games with indigestion. Tex of course is a beast, and McCann is a good young star, but, sorry Braves fans, the Mets have more bullets in the chamber. glavine is not a great pitcher anymore.
