Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3123922, member: 289"] When I first heard about Diaz I had no idea what a great season he had last year or that the Mets had acquired him with Cano. When I read about him and realized that they'd gotten Familia back and still had Lugo and Gesellman who shared the closing duties when Famlia was traded, I thought we'd have lights out bullpen and be playing 6 inning games with DeGrom, Syndergaard, Wheeler and Matz pitching those 6 innings, (along with the unreliable Valdez). I'd also never heard of Pete Alonso or J. D. Davis and viewed Jeff McNeil just as a utility player. If I'd know how good those guys were going to be I'd have predicted a season like the '86 Mets. But I also didn't know how bad Diaz and Familia were going to be. [/QUOTE]
