The graph on the left is Robinson Cano's xSLG by year, since 2015.The graph on the right is Edwin Diaz's xSLG by year, since 2015.It seems quite clear that the Mets bought high on both, and are suffering the regression now. pic.twitter.com/ftniWetgnS— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) June 27, 2019
they bought high on diaz, but he's still only 25, decent at worst, and cheap
cano is a disaster to the point where one wonders if it was the juice all along

If you can somehow forget how depressing the bullpen is, this season is almost worth it for batting title Mcneil and ROY Alonso. (Actually the whole offense being non-anemic is great).
― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 01:47 (four years ago) link
not really sure who to blame (besides the wilpons)
the bullpen was supposed to be a strength! they spent money on familia and prospects on diaz but nevertheless they've somehow used chris flexen in eight games
degrom has been not cy, but still pretty good. they've gotten lucky with vargas, apart from the assaulting reporters thing. syndergaard and wheeler and matz just aren't what they were supposed to be
lucky with mcneil and alonso and ramos! unlucky with cano and nimmo getting hurt and lagares being a complete offensive void. well, maybe that last one was predictable
at any rate, i think we've finally confirmed that despite its former promise, this starting rotation has run its course and should get on with its life's work
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 02:28 (four years ago) link
this starting rotation has run its course
have syndergaard and wheeler really pitched that badly? i assumed they will bounce back sooner or later, unless it's injury-related. i'd say sell high on vargas and just sell matz, keep the other guys
― i will never make a typo ever again (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 02:53 (four years ago) link
Ramos' offensive numbers are in line with his career overall (eg 105 OPS+ this year, 104 career).
Syndergaard's FIP is 3.72, highest ever for him but not terrible. Matz's is an unsightly 5.41.
DiComo above expects Wheeler and Vargas to be gone. Mets intent on being "competitive" next year so Thor stays.

also they did a pretty good job developing Alonso and McNeil, looks like. I know it hurts to give them any credit whatsoever...
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 04:44 (four years ago) link
i don't think they had much of a clue about mcneil -- last year they started him in double-a at age 26
to be fair, no one else did either (except for alonso!) mcneil's weird; even last august keith law was all 'he's not a prospect'. i think it was kind of luck that he got called up and immediately started hitting to the point where they couldn't send him back down, because he had quad-a written all over him
he might be my favorite current ballplayer

Pete Alonso is taking his Home Run Derby prep seriously. He's out practicing with his cousin, Derek Morgan, for the second day in a row.By my count, he's hit 16 homers in 39 swings, including several to the batter's eye in straightaway center and two to the second deck in left.— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) July 3, 2019
