LOL, you're like me on hockey threads trying to get any Canadiens talk I can squeezed in.
Honestly I am just a huge fan of prospects and I am a huge fan of Kopech's as well.

Noah Syndergaard, Matt Harvey not close to returning from disabled list http://dlvr.it/PTZgVg
It will be interesting to see what the Mets do with Harvey. Is there a chance that they decline his option?
Hard to see the column headers but take my word for it.
Our metric has them last in team defense (not just infield)
We could've still contended with the bad defense though. It's the pitching (as we all know) that's destroyed us.
of course as many people mentioned the fate of the team lived and died with starting pitching, but defense being worst in the league certainly doesn't help.

I think we can be better here in 2018. Rosario will be a huge upgrade at SS, even with the expected rookie growing pains. Getting rid of Bruce (maybe the worst OF defensively in MLB) and Granderson and replacing with Conforto/Lagares/Nimmo is an upgrade. Duda is solid at first, but Smith should be better. If 2B/3B/C is Flores/Rivera/TDA then we don't really get better but we might be able to upgrade there in the offseason.
TDA very possibly starts at C though.
I still Cecchini should be a lock with a strong second half, he's been pretty hot lately.
I get the feeling of you can't do that (Smith, Rosario, and Cecchini), but with Flores and TJ as backups they have some veteran presence and if they can't trade Cabrera his option is a good price and he's really a good utility option.
if he wasn't so prickly about it.

I hate Vegas. Look at Plawecki (especially his H/A splits).
No clue why Cecchini isn't hitting (my guess being a Met it's probably injury related), but I'd still make him the favorite for 2B.

Unless they acquire someone.

No disagreement here. Just surprised with the first half he had. I expected him to mash.
