Hey now - I always look for the silver lining at the start of the year. Usually takes a couple of months before I'm willing to give up on the year and start focusing on 2012.

When predictions time rolls around - will I pick the Mets? Probably not...but that doesn't mean I don't think they're capable. I see the potential for one of the best lineups in the league, their best since '06/'07. I also see a pitching staff headed with three improving guys that should have decent campaigns.

On the flipside, most Mets fans have already given up on the year and the only time MLB Network has talked about them was talking about the Madoff situation or talking about how Reyes and Beltran need to have good years so they can be traded. Nobody on that network has given them a remote chance of doing anything this year, and most "early season predictions" have them finishing no higher than 4th.

The Phillies obv have the best team on paper but I really don't think the Braves and certainly not the Marlins look a whole lot better than the Mets.
