Full Version: I am no longer a Mets fan.
That's right, I gave up on them and now, I am not a Met fan. They suck.
You can't change teams sorry. They are doing the right thing with Reyes. Normally it would be silly but not in this case. The Murphy injury you can do nothing about. It happens. You are relatively healthy going into the season and you have some good prospects from spring training. The one thing that scares me is how much they are relying on the Maine/Pelfrey/Perez trio. They need 2 of those to at least be decent. That may be asking for a lot.

LOL. My wife doesnt joke around much at work so I told her to sit the other 4 that work under her down at lunch and tell them that the big wig told you you had to let 2 of them go. And that they had to decide what 2 were going. LOL Not sure if she did it.
Scroll way down to #20 below. 
The Powers
1. Yankees. Most of the stars are still aligned. Although, the loss of clutch offensive performers Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui doesn't help.
2. Phillies. The terrific lineup got a bit better with Placido Polanco, but the bullpen is just as questionable as last year, particularly with Brad Lidge and J.C. Romero out.
3. Rays. Wonderful young team also has pen questions.
4. Red Sox. Rotation trio of Josh Beckett, Jon Lester and John Lackey plus improved defense makes them a threat for third title in seven seasons.
5. Rockies. Incomparable combo of youth and depth. Is ace Ubaldo Jimenez on verge of superstardom?
6. Cardinals. They can really hit, their one-two rotation combination of Adam Wainwright and Chris Carpenter is dynamic, catcher Yadier Molina is an under-rated star and center fielder Colby Rasmus is coming on.
7. Angels. A small step back but rotation depth and manager Mike Scioscia makes them division favorite.
The Contenders
8. Diamondbacks. Young nucleus, led by Justin Upton and Mark Reynolds, is exceptional. Brandon Webb's continuing arm trouble is a big blow though.
9. White Sox. Vaunted front four of Mark Buehrle, Jake Peavy, John Danks and Gavin Floyd makes them slight AL Central favorite.
10. Rangers. Not sure if they'll make club president Nolan Ryan's 92-win target, but very good young talent makes them interesting.
11. Braves. Strong pitching, better balance and phenom Jason Heyward could make Bobby Cox's swan song special.
12. Dodgers. Bitter divorce and plummeting payroll put them back a notch.
13. Twins. Improved team, but bullpen's a major worry with Joe Nathan out. Getting Padres closer Heath Bell would help.
14. Mariners. Cliff Lee's spring injury is a downer for a team built around him and Felix Hernandez but great defense always helps.
15. Tigers. Miguel Cabrera seems to be back on track
16. Giants. Great pitching, so if they hit at all, they could steal a playoff spot.
17. Brewers. Nice young nucleus remains, but starting pitching remains a question after Yovani Gallardo and Randy Wolf.
18. Cubs. Bounce-back season could produce a third playoff team in four years.
19. Marlins. No one outperforms their payroll like them. The bullpen a mystery this time though.
The Hopefuls
20. Mets. Injuries and ailments have already begun, casting a continuing pall.
21. Reds. If their young players play to potential, this placing could be way too low.
The Maybe Next Years
22. Orioles. Clearly on the rise, they were consistently cited as among the most improved by competitors this spring.
23. Indians. Fausto Carmona, Jake Westbrook, Travis Hafner and Grady Sizemore all are comeback candidates. Better suited for 2011 though.
24. A's. Decent pitching staff but way short of offense. Ben Sheets looks like July trade bait.
25. Padres. Biggest question will be what happens with Adrian Gonzalez.
26. Astros. Injuries to big names don't help.
27. Blue Jays. Clear rebuilding team will be pesky.
28. Nationals. Stephen Strasburg, Drew Storen, Ross Detwiler and Chien-Ming Wang could makes things interesting -- in the second half.
29. Pirates. Andrew McCutchen is their one very good player, and when Pedro Alvarez arrives, that'll make two. An 18th straight losing season awaits.
30. Royals. The mere fact they thought of using Kyle Farnsworth as a starter is worrisome.
