--- Quote from: HighEyeCue on Today at 08:04:00 AM ---Polanco is a nice add but we're still a long way from a playoff contender...a couple of starters would help our chances however...our lineup with Soto and Lindor is pretty solid but top heavy, another bat and the 2 pitchers would make us a playoff team
as for the Royals I would expect a bounce back from my guy Seth Lugo and with the injured starters coming back the rotation is more than solid...Caglione has to hit though, it cant be just Witt with no protection around him...kind of like we need someone hitting behind Soto
edit-I forgot about Salvador Perez, Id take 30 and 100 from a 35 year old any day of the week...Hall of Famer

So you think the Mets still need 2 starters!! To me, that's like saying they need 3-4 starters with the way starting pitchers go down so often over the duration of a season.
As for Salvador Perez—You might not know this if you are not from KC, but actually there's this young local Kansas City guy Carter Jenson at catcher who came up last year and played really well—so local fans are actually more excited to see ROOKIE CATCHER Carter Jenson this year behind the plate than Salvy. Fans are hoping to see Salvy more in a DH role with age and weight problems he's a risk if he is a full time catcher. The problem though is he is so beloved by the management that he often refuses to take nights off from the dish and this goes back to the championship seasons, when Yost would try to give him a night off and he simply refuses.
So remember the name CARTER JENSON--unlike Caglione he actually came up last year and performed.

yeah I would feel better if they had a legit ace, Nolan Mclean can be that, he was great for the 8 starts he had but we have to see more...other young starters didn't impress me but sometimes they take a while to develop
I would give the Royals a better chance at the postseason than the Mets, I even think you guys can win that division...we probably have no shot with our current team but a few more additions and we can maybe sneak in
