Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 4961805, member: 173"] The original plan was to try to build up the farm system (which was not great) over a few years, and use big free agents to compete at the MLB level immediately. By trading guys and picking up big chunks of salary, they were able to get a boost of about 2-3 years on the farm system rebuild. A big part of the “let’s wait and see” is how the young prospects they acquired do this year - if they’re doing great I think the front office will show some patience if the NY Mets struggle. What will be more interesting is if they’re a couple games over .500 at the All-Star break - do they stay patient on rebuild or make moves to try to make the playoffs? I’m honestly more interested in Syracuse and Binghamton games going into the start of the season - I’ll get interested in New York if we get to 5/1 and the team isn’t already DOA. [/QUOTE]
