The Injury bug bites the Mets twice

On April 21st, the New York Mets sit atop the NL East with a comfortable 1.5 game lead over the Atlanta Braves, who they open up a series against tonight. After winning 8 straight games in a row, the Mets look like one of the best teams in the MLB. Granted their 8 straight wins came against the Braves, Phillies, and Marlins, but good teams have to beat teams that they are supposed to beat.

On Sunday, the injury bug struck twice in Flushing. The Mets lost left-handed relief picther, Jerry Blevins and Catcher, Travis d'Arnaud all within a matter of minutes. d'Arnaud has to wear a splint for 3 weeks, and Blevins has to wear a splint for 6 weeks. The good news is, that neither injury requires surgery. So, the Mets will be without d'Aranud probably until Memorial Day and Blevins until Fathers Day.

The Mets have already lost David Wright to injury, so this d'Arnaud injury obviously does not help their offense. Curtis Granderson and Daniel Muprhy have got to step up, they have both respectively gotten off to horrible starts at the plate, so it is time for them to pick up the slack

Top Catching Prospect, Kevin Plawecki, has been called up to try and replace Travis d'Arnaud production behind the plate and at the plate, 

The Mets are in win now mode, and they are doing what they can to win. 10-3 is a really good start, but if the offensive production drops off, so will the wins. 

Breakdown of the 2015 New York Mets

Right now if nothing changes and everything goes as expected, the New York Mets will win 85-86 games in this upcoming season. Losing Zack Wheeler and Josh Edgin obviously does not help the cause, but the Mets having a surplus of starting pitching and trading for Left-Handed relief pitchers, Jerry Blevins and Alex Torres helps even things out.

This upcoming season, is the season of "If's". If Michael Cuddyer can stay healthy, if David Wright and Curtis Granderson can have bounce-back years, if Travis d'Arnaud, Jacob deGrom, Lucas Duda, and Juan Lagares can continue to develop into all-stars, if Daniel Murphy can keep hitting, if Jenry Mejia and Jeurys Familia can repeat last season's success, and if Matt Harvey can return to the ace he was. That is way too many "Ifs" to bubble the Mets in as a playoff team, but clearly all the pieces are there.

This roster is the best the Mets have had in several years, and if everything goes as planned, they can be a 2nd Wild Card team or maybe even be NL East divsion winners. Everything is in place for the Mets to succed this season. There are no more excuses to pull out of a hat. If this possible playoff team cannot win, the Wipons will be saying sayonara to Terry Collins and Sandy Alderson and having to start over again. New York is the biggest stage to play sports on, if you cannot win, you are not long in this city.

That is why the Mets need to win. I have them as an 86 win team, barely getting into the playoffs as a 2nd Wild Card team. The feeling around this orginization is that they will win this season, after a great spring from the hitters and pitchers. Only time will tell, expect for the worst and hope for the best with this team.
