The Mets have the makings of an excellent pitching staff: Degrom, Thor, Matz, Wheeler and quite possibly Dunn.
Mickaey has lost the team and you can’t judge by anything going on this year. But sign a real manager like Girardi and if a few of the young position players develop, his team can turn it around next year.
Not that I would ever want him moved there now... But Wheeler would have been a fantastic closer if that's the route they went. He has basically been unhittable in the first few innings and his stuff is incredible touching 100 mph. His walks are also down. He likely would have been dominant there.
Couldn’t agree more. He should be the closer or 8th inning guy
I’ve been saying this for months
Wheeler gets dealt. Cabrera should net you a B prospect or couple lotto tickets. Familia same thing. Wheeler could return a decent prospect from a pitching starved team trying to contend. I don’t see Noah getting traded but if Mets get bowled over for DeGrom they need to do it.
Gsellman and Lugo are doing what they did last year which is collapse later in the season. They’re simply pitching filler who tease as starters and wilt under a heavy workload in the pen.
Rosario while young has proven to be really underwhelming to me. I think we have to lower our expectations of what he’s going to be.
This csn be seen as a trial year to see if Matz and Wheeler can stay healthy And reasonably effective for an entire season.
So far so good. They seem to be getting better instead of worse. Which means maybe the 3 stooges keep this pitching staff intact, the Coupons inally opens back up the big market bank account and team spends on Machado, a top 10 1B, 2 gritty on base guys, a catcher and 6 relievers lol.

Lugo and Gsellman should be starters
Would make no sense moving him to the pen. Also, Lugo and Gsellman have both floundered as starters. They are where they should be: in the bullpen.
Gsellman has struggled lately but he and Lugo give the Mets strong set=up guys who can pitch multiple innings. Huge asset in the pen.
17 HR in 279 ABs overall in the minors this year.

I agree. They have to play Cabrera every day to trade him.

How can they be huge assets if the pen has been this awful. It’s time to make a change and experiment. Lugo and Gsellman should start

Hopefully they bring in an outside GM.
Need to boot his mentor first and cut the cord.
