The New York Mets are no longer teasing fans at Citi Field with promises of pennants. They announced this when they let go of Carlos Beltran and Jose Reyes and did not bring in any major names to replace them. Suddenly the Mets 2012 MLB season is all about the players they have stepping up instead of some promising player preparing to save the franchise…again. New York Mets tickets are here now to enjoy.

About The New York Mets
Though Beltran and Reyes have moved on, the New York Mets are not void of any special talent. Jason Bay once demonstrated a powerful stroke, David Wright manages to impress as long as it is not expected, Daniel Murphy is an eerily good contact hitter, and Ike Davis has glimpses of a silver slugger at first base. Essentially, the Mets still should be capable to avoid any hitless wonder tags. They may even have enough here to test the Philadelphia Phillies lauded rotation.
Their own rotation should be quite challenging. Johan Santana is no longer a Cy Young candidate, but he is still a better than average pitcher and a worthy ace. Mike Pelfrey appears capable of putting on quite a performance on the mound, as he did in 2010. Jonathan Niese, R.A. Dickey, and Dillon Gee have each teased fans with glimpses of their potential. This starting rotation is not to be dismissed, but is likely to be forgotten.
Citi Field may not be the location of the best baseball team in the NL East or the best baseball team in New York City, but it will play host to a baseball team capable of putting up a fight each and every game. The batting order is solid and the starting pitching is underrated, making this a dangerous team.
