Here r homegrown mets who, I think, should have starting roles next year. I just read the Mets have $50M coming off the books after 2011 and will not be spenders this year. If that's the case then they should let their you develop all season long!
SP: niese, pelfrey, mejia (depending on how his arm strength builds)
Closer: Parnell
C: Thole
1b:
2b: Tejada
3b: Wright
SS: Reyes
RF:
CF: Pagan
The remaining position players are Bay, Beltran, Franceour. F-Mart might benefit from playing as a 4th OF to give Bay and Beltran rest in the corners. Franceour could become the best and most expensive defensive replacement ever. The other option is to continue to cultivate F-Mart in the minors but Christ he's been at the same level for two years and can't stay healthy. I say throw him into the fire and see if he sinks or swims, (to mix metaphors). Besides the OF, I think the line up should be entirely homegrown. And even the pitching should be solidified with youth, the other two spots going to Johan and Dickey!
That is all.
