You named 4 players, 1 of which was on the team last year, as reason why the marlins would have a better record than the mets. We had better pitching than miami in 2014 and we are getting harvey back. Even if he is a shell of 2013, our pitching will improve. Add in cuddyer and his lovely OBP and an improved travis d'arnaud, it blows my mind that you think the mets will win less games next year.
This is an upgrade over last years opening lineup with possibly over 100 HRS and should produce more runs. Last year 6, 7, and 8 were hovering at or below .200.
