Matt Harvey is next up in our preseason projection review series, and to say he put forth a disappointing performance would be…well it would be a gross misrepresentation of the dumpster fire that was his 2017 season. His 2016 season…
Editor’s Note – Before leaving a comment for this story, make sure you have read our new comment policy. The next player in our preseason projection review series spent just over a calendar year and played just shy of a…
The next player in our preseason projection review series is the gentle giant, and chronically underappreciated, Lucas Duda. The second-longest tenured Met behind David Wright, Duda had surprisingly little goodwill with Mets fans despite being top four all-time for Mets…
Next up in our preseason projection review series is former (and future?) Mets second baseman Neil Walker. Walker was yet another casualty of the injury epidemic that hit the team this year as he spent most of June and July…

We’ve gone through and made predictions for 19 players for the 2017 Mets. Now it’s time to give a forecast for the team as a whole. You thought our individual projections were optimistic? Wait until you get a load of…
The last player we’re going to project this year is Jay Bruce, which is fitting because in many ways he’s the last guy fans want on the team. Few complained when the Mets picked up his option yet many complain…
Lucas Duda is very glad that Jay Bruce and Travis d’Arnuad are on the team. They may or may not be buddies in real life but those two keep Duda from being the least popular starter. It’s hard to understand…
