Because as of right now the mets clearly have a better starting rotation than the yanks . Heck the Yankees were 3-3 vs the mets this past season and that was only because betances literally threw a game away to the Yankees . If not for that they would have finished with a losing record vs the mets .

Yes, that HUGE 6 game sample is certain proof. NOT!!! If you love the Mets so much, why not go root for them? I'm sure they'd welcome you with open arms.

Just look at what the white Sox have been doing the past 2 off seasons to enhance a strong core of players. We never did that.

And just look at what the White Sox have won. Absolutely nothing.

Because he would like you to back up your ridiculous claims. Obviously you know you can't.

Line-up is at best even, but I give it the Mets because they have more bat to ball guys. We strike out too much and at least half of our lineup is lucky to play 100 games.

Starting pitching is clearly the Met's

Bullpen is close (because we are not as dominant as usual), but I give us a very slight edge because of the Chapman/Britton combination at the back end.

The Mets were on pace for 79 wins last year. You think adding Springer and Lindor adds about 20 wins? Because that is about where the Yankees are.

Yes the Yankees won the WS but the Mets beat them 4-6 games. So even though the Mets didn't make the playoffs, they are better.

Not to mention that adding both Springer and Lindor are a couple of major "ifs".

A full season from stroman and about a half season from syndergaard should add atleast 15 to 20 wins though. Remember they had neither of them this past season . And Jones’ is talking about the current yankee team as is.without Tanaka , Paxton , and dj . Remember as of right now the yanks are currently losing 15 to 20 wins without Tanaka and Paxton . And possibly more if they lose dj

And 80% of the yanks starting rotation are major ifs as well .

You obviously don't understand how WAR works. Tanaka and Paxton aren't worth anything remotely close to 15-20 wins in a single season (nor are Stroman and Syndergaard, even at their absolute best).

War the most overrated and over used stat in baseball . But to humor you. , stroman’s career war is 14.7 and syndergaard’s is 15.7 . . Divide both by half and you do get 15 combined . And the mets were without both stroman and syndergaard this past season . That is the equivalent of the yanks having lost both cole and sevy for the whole season . And btw Tanaka ‘s career war is 17.5 and Paxton is 12.9 . I would say that’s about 15 to 20 wins there they stand to lose if both don’t come back . Tell me who will replace them ?

You certainly humored me, just not in the way you hoped. This is one of the more hilariously clueless and juvenile replies I could imagine someone giving to my post. Thanks for further proving that you have no idea how WAR works.

Why the hell would you divide a player's career WAR in half to project what they'd contribute in a single season?

Stroman has had a 7 yr career and Thor has had a 5yr career, so you wouldn't take half their career Wars to calculate what their average annual War would be, you would dived their total number by the yrs they have been in the league. When u do it properly its no where close to 15 wins a yr. Also Thor had TJS right around the time Sevy did so i'm pretty sure they aren't going to have him for the full season.

Because this past season was just under half a regular season long. Either way using war to justify your argument is not making a very strong case at all . War is an overused , overrated stat .

You didn’t read either when I said next season the mets would have half a season a season of Thor and a full season of stroman .
