Kyle Kendrick and John Lannan at the back of the rotation will spell disaster. I see the unit being good to start the season, but as injuries take their toll on the team behind them and the Mets' young pitchers step up, I think the Mets will pass them both in overall quality of rotation and in the standings. Understand: this is nothing against Hamels or Lee. I just don't think the pieces around them will allow them succeed this year to the level they have in the past.

Love how they talk about Halladay being in decline but the Mets are depending on Johan Santana and Shaun Marcum who can't even get on the field. They're basically saying Matt Harvey and Zach Wheeler who have pitched a combined 10 major league games are better than Hamels & Lee.

Unless these are the supposed young hurlers who are going to step up:
Niese: 26, career 4.06 ERA
Gee; 26, career 4.06 ERA
Hefner: 27, career 5.09 ERA

Lannan: 28, career 4.01 ERA
Kendrick: 28, career 4.30 ERA

Santana's been an injury worry the last few seasons -- and became ineffective almost the minute he threw the Mets' first no-hitter -- but he still should be able to contribute for those innings he's able to throw.
