Get Your Battle Predictions In

[Edgy MD]

In order for you to show your presence, you need to file your predictions now.

1. Who opens the season as the Mets main firstbaseman? Davis? Duda? Satin? Flores? Some dude not currently in the system?

2. Who opens the season as the Mets main shortstop? Tejada? Quintanilla? Tovar? Seratelli? Flores?

3. The Mets opened the season with two entrenched outfielders and then went out and signed two more, both versatile. Bad news for somebody, right? What will the regular alignment be come April 1?

4. Barring injury, Bartolo Colon, Jon Niese, Dillon Gee, and Zack Wheeler look to open the season as members of the Mets rotation? Whos's number five? Pretty much a huge field to pick from: Matsuzaka? Mejia? DeGrom? Torres? Lannan? Montero? Syndergaard?

5. Backup catcher?

1. Who opens the season as the Mets main firstbaseman? Davis? Duda? Satin? Flores? Some dude not currently in the system?

Davis, but in a platoon with Satin.

2. Who opens the season as the Mets main shortstop? Tejada? Quintanilla? Tovar? Seratelli? Flores?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Stephen Drew.

3. The Mets opened the season with two entrenched outfielders and then went out and signed two more, both versatile. Bad news for somebody, right? What will the regular alignment be come April 1?

Eric Young in left, Chris Young in center, and Curtis Granderson in right. (I'm hoping, however, for C. Young-Lagares-Granderson.)


4. Barring injury, Bartolo Colon, Jon Niese, Dillon Gee, and Zack Wheeler look to open the season as members of the Mets rotation? Whos's number five? Pretty much a huge field to pick from: Matsuzaka? Mejia? DeGrom? Torres? Lannan? Montero? Syndergaard?

Mejia.

5. Backup catcher?

Teagarden.

1) Davis
2) Tejada
3) C. Young, Lagaras, Granderson.
4) Torres
5) Not up on the business of catching. Recker?

Sorry, competing for the Ron Hodges seat are Recker, Juan Centeno, Taylor Teagarden, and Kevin Plawecki.

Did I screw that up?

*checks* they both have about the same amount of experience in the corners (Young and Granderson that is) but Granderson has the much better arm, so yeah, should be Granderson in right.

Is that the extent of your scouting report?
Okay,hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Recker.

1. Who opens the season as the Mets main firstbaseman? Davis? Duda? Satin? Flores? Some dude not currently in the system?

Doodoo

2. Who opens the season as the Mets main shortstop? Tejada? Quintanilla? Tovar? Seratelli? Flores?

Someone else. Davis is traded to Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh trades Some Guy to Arizona, Arizona trades Chris Owings to us.

3. The Mets opened the season with two entrenched outfielders and then went out and signed two more, both versatile. Bad news for somebody, right? What will the regular alignment be come April 1?

CYoung/EYoung - Lagares/CYoung - Grandyman/Brown

4. Barring injury, Bartolo Colon, Jon Niese, Dillon Gee, and Zack Wheeler look to open the season as members of the Mets rotation? Whos's number five? Pretty much a huge field to pick from: Matsuzaka? Mejia? DeGrom? Torres? Lannan? Montero? Syndergaard?

First shot probably goes to Dicey.

5. Backup catcher?
Teaparty

[TransMonk]

Duda

Tejada

Young, Young, Grandy

Dice K

Recker

[Lefty Specialist]

1. Who opens the season as the Mets main firstbaseman?

Davis. He'll have a deceptively good spring training, then fall flat on his face when the season starts.

2. Who opens the season as the Mets main shortstop? Tejada? Quintanilla? Tovar? Seratelli? Flores?

Tejada. By default.

3. The Mets opened the season with two entrenched outfielders and then went out and signed two more, both versatile. Bad news for somebody, right? What will the regular alignment be come April 1?

C. Young, Lagares, Granderson. EY will be supersub.

4. Barring injury, Bartolo Colon, Jon Niese, Dillon Gee, and Zack Wheeler look to open the season as members of the Mets rotation? Whos's number five? Pretty much a huge field to pick from: Matsuzaka? Mejia? DeGrom? Torres? Lannan? Montero? Syndergaard?

Dice-K. Then Torres, Lannan and Mejia. Jenrry will go to Vegas if he doesn't get the job. Torres or Lannan will stick around as long guy/swing guy. If Dice-K doesn't outright win the job, he's released.

5. Backup catcher?

Recker. Sandy can't resist those dreamy eyes.

I like Bucket's notion that the outfield will be multi-position platoons moving across all three positions. But is Terry willing to be that creative?
