Mets need an injection of power into their lineup... playing small ball is great but its hard to sustain over 162 games. There are times when you need a few guys to bash a few out of the park to make the game easier, but the Mets only have Alonso and if he's slumping. like he is right now, it's going to be really hard for the team to generate offense. Their other power bats i.e. Dom, JD, McCann and Escobar have been pretty much easy outs outside of a few weeks here and there. As much as people like to bash Lindor, and I agree he's not worth $300mm imagine how bad this offense would be without his RBIs and homers. I hope the Mets can somehow land Contreras without giving too much in prospects. I'd also like the Mets to call up Vientos to play DH and to spell Escobar. I think the mets need at least two power bats before the trade deadline.
The pen was a big concern going into the season and still is at the midway point. There is no bridge to Diaz at all and there are no left hand relievers. Mets need at least 2 arms if not 3. I'm still scratching my head at the situation with the pen... it was fairly obvious this spring that the pen was a major issue and they actually let it get worse than last year.
