If the Mets got Drew their lineup would look something like:
LF Eric Young, Jr.
2B Daniel Murphy
3B David Wright
RF Curtis Granderson
1B Ike Davis or a Lucas Duda/Josh Satin platoon
CF Chris Young
SS Stephen Drew
C Travis d'Arnaud
Batting order is still up in the air...especially if Juan Lagares wins the CF job based on his glove. In that case he'd likely supplant EYJ and I have no idea who the fuck hits leadoff then. That lineup wouldn't set the world on fire and they'd still clearly be behind Washington and Atlanta, but it's still way better looking than this time last year. Throw in their solid looking rotation and bullpen filled with young arms and they might at least be able to stay in the Wild Card mix.
