These stats can be taken as projections or just goals I would like to see the players achieve. If every player could at least get around these numbers, then the Mets don’t look that bad in 2014.
Lineup
A couple things I would like to see this year are Eric Young Jr. solidifying the leadoff role and Travis d’Arnaud’s progression into a full-time big league catcher. Young will turn 29 in May, so the speedsters window of opportunity for a starting role in the bigs may start to close on him if his batting average and on-base percentage stay under league averages. d’Arnaud will play in his first full season which is exciting for Mets fans. A piece of the future has arrived and it would be nice to see what we have in store for years to come.

Rotation
One of my biggest concerns this season will be the health of Jenrry Mejia. He has a history of injuries and has never pitched over 100 innings in the Majors or the minors. One way or another, I believe we will see Dice-K a few times this season.
Similar to d’Arnaud, I would like to see Zack Wheeler make strides this year. The Mets brought in Colon to replace Harvey, but I don’t think anyone would complain if Wheeler is able to fill in his shoes.
