Over the first-half of the 2010 season, my Mets report card is.
STARTING ROTATION: B-, I like the way Dickey and Takahashi became a starter in the middle of May, and are winning games. I also like the way Niese is returning from a hamstring injury. And Johan is getting better as the season is going along, and Pelfrey had an amazing start to the season. I just didn't like the way Oliver Perez came off a bad 2009 season, and is not making up for it. And John Maine has not been on his best.
BULLPEN: B, I love the way they are coming back from a terrible bullpen in 2008. I like the way Feliciano,Dessens,Valdez, and Parnell are doing. And K-ROD is doing better than last year. I just am upset how the always blow Johan's games.
DEFENSE: A, I love Francoeur's arm,(8 outfield assists T- most in NL) I like how Pagan and Bay are covering a lot of ground, and the infield has been great. The Mets rarely make errors.
OFFENSE: B+: David Wright, and Jose Reyes are both having their best season ever. No one expected this much from Barajas, Tejada,Cora,Blanco, Thole, and Davis. I just expected a little more power from Jason Bay.
OVERALL: B+
I agree with some of your valuations but not all. I don't think the bullpen has been consistent, including k-Rod, who blew a few games. I would only rate them a C/
ReplyDeleteWhat grade would you give jerry?
ReplyDeleteMy bad. I would give Jerry a C+
ReplyDeleteBay isn't having a good season.anonymous.
ReplyDeleteThis is not Reyes's best season in his career. anonymous.
ReplyDeleteI would give them a B- ... look at them now. It looks like it will be hard for the mets to make the playoffs
