A lot of people have been writing off the 2013 Mets and saying that they will win as few as 66 games. If you look at WAR the Mets will probably win about 74-76 games and maybe even 80 if they get lucky.

Buck/D'Arnaud 1.5 WAR
Davis 2 WAR
Murphy 1.5 WAR
Tejada 2 WAR
Wright 5 WAR
Duda 0.5 WAR
Nieuwenhuis/Cowgill 1 WAR
Baxter/Brown 1 WAR

Santana 2 WAR
Niese 3 WAR
Harvey 2 WAR
Gee 1 WAR
Fifth starter 0.5 WAR

That totals to 23, plus 52 equals 75 wins.

I think 75 is a good guess...

84 wins...miss 2nd WC by 1 game

My heart says 94. That's the koolaider in me. I will root hard for them every single inning of the season.

But in reality, this team has been on a downward spiral. We've gone from 79 wins to 77 to 74 the past 3 seasons.

And while the organazation MAY have improved talent wise this off season, the Major League team does not appear to have improved much, if at all.

All that said, I'll go with the same 74 wins as last year. But I'll never give up hope that I'm low-balling them by 20. :)

Always the optimist. Good man.

68-94

im going w/ 75 but that is assuming that we get at least SOME production out of the OF...if we bring in a major league caliber OF, i think we can get closer to 80...if we fail to get anything out of the OF, we might go as low as 70 but i would be surprised if we dip into the 60's

Doubtful. I'm going to say 69 wins. And that's considering I think Collins gets more out of the talent he's given. 66 is more like their true worth.

i am basing my 75 wins on the idea that the rotation will actually be a strength

im not really relying on getting anything from johan but i do think that niese, harvey, wheeler and gee will be the makings of a pretty good rotation....

30-132

Because they didn't sign Hairston.

90-72 if all things go right.

< 90 if they don't.

With DIckey gone? Probably 66-69 wins.

72-90
BTW, I hit 2012's 74-88 right on the head.

70-72 wins

That sounds about right.
