Do you think the Mets will win the NL East in 2007?

Answer 1

i'm sure they will go out and spend another $60 million to make sure they do......

Answer 2

If the New York Mets can have strong pitching during the 2007 season and have at least 70 wins by the end of July, then yes I can see the Mets winning the NL East in 2007.

Answer 3

im not a braves fan but im going with them, they won like 10-20 straight nl east titles and this year was the first year they didnt win, bobby cox (manager) has won a couple of world series and will be hungry next year, the braves organization will be willing to put a ton more money into the team next year to make sure it doesnt happen again
the mets however had a hell of a team and will be tough to beat nomatter what division they played in (cause the rest of the nl east sucks) i wouldnt be suprised to see the mets in the playoffs if they dont win the division, i think the mets and braves will make the post season next year with a close race for the nl east title till the very end

Answer 4

yes, although i do envision the braves improving at least a little bit and making it a slightly tougher fight than it was in 2006.

spend another 60 million?.....LOL....they may be from new york and they do carry a fairlyy high payroll, but this is NOT the yankees. the mets actually have a lower payroll now than they did 2-3 years ago.

i believe the number of free agents is 5, not 11. and also just because a player has filed for free agency does not mean they wont re-sign.

the mets will need to make a few changes to the roster, most importantly adding a number one or two starting pitcher to the staff. some other changes might come from within or be the addition of fringe or role players.

the mets should be able to defend the NL East title and probably do so with only a slight increase to the payroll.

Answer 5

No, because I don't think their pitching staff will be as good with Pedro missing about half the season recovering from rotator cuff surgery and Bradford, Hernandez and Mota all filing for free agency. The Braves simply had an off-year in '06 riddled with injuries and inconsistency. Now that the Braves have a proven closer, their bullpen is more defined; the offense, which hit over .270 this year, is more than capable of scoring enough runs for Smoltz, Hudson, Hampton and whoever else the Braves stick in the rotation. Every year, the Mets make acquisitions in hopes of beating the Braves; I'm sure this year will be no different, but I still think Atlanta will stay healthy enough to return to the postseason in 2007.

Answer 6

I think that they have a chance but the Braves will give them some trouble. Entering into 2007, the Braves will still have staff ace Tim Hudson and also John Smoltz.Mike Hampton will also return after surgery sidelined him in 2006. The braves still have the good mix of young players and veterans.And another important thing is that they will enter the year with a real closer unlike last year. We also have to wait h and see how Pedro Martinez will perform after the surgery that he will have.

Answer 7

They can't. Its impossible. The New York Mets are being transferred to the American League starting March 6, 2007. Spring training starts March 8, 2007 in Anchorage, Alaska.

Answer 8

The Braves and Phillies can contend if the Mets previous and inexperience pitching artwork tension does no longer do properly. The Mets will ought to place self belief in the bats producing a minimum of the 800 runs that they scored final year. If no longer the Braves and Phillies the two have a great shot of coming up this one heck of a divisional race.

Answer 9

The Mets will win the NL East in much the same way as they did this season, by being one of the best teams in baseball wire to wire. The pitching will be better, and the offense will continue to impress.

Answer 10

I would say yes. But it depends highly on whether their pitching staff can stay healthy long enough. They lost Pedro and el Duque for the playoffs and look what happened. They also got bummed by steve trachsel. If they are to repeat, and I think they will, be on the lookout for them trying to get more depth in their rotation and another decent bat to hit behind either Carlos Delgado or between Delgado and Carlos Beltran. Don't count out the braves, but the team that I think will give them a run for their money is Philly, my pick for next year's wild card.

Answer 11

Only if the pitching staff is healthy. The Mets have 11 players that have filed for free agency. All have played a big role in this years somewhat successful season.
