The Syracuse Mets finished 3 games out of first in the second half of the season so will miss out on the playoffs.

The big news for the team was the development of Sproat, McLean and Tong, all of whom are now in the starting rotation for the Mets.

This was largely driven by a collapse from veteran Mets starting pitchers, along with some injuries to the original rotation.

McLean was the best pitcher in the IL this year.  Tong led the minors in strikeouts.  It is a shame all three were called up and missed out on the last month of the season.  If they had been there, the Mets surely would have won the 2nd half.

Too Mets prospects Williams, Benge and Clifford also were called up relatively late in the season from AA.  They struggled some, which also contributed to the Mets falling into 2nd place.

Pretty sure Benge is the CF of the future.  I suspect Williams is going to be the new 2B.  Clifford could be the 1B if the Mets do not re-sign Alonso.

It will be interesting to see how the Mets blend the youngsters in with the veterans.
