The average age on the Mets of the Mets is 28.9 according to ESPN. That number has come pretty far down since 2006 when the team was filled with lots of old players like Tom Glavine, Orlando Hernandez, Darren Oliver, Jose Valentin, and of course, Julio Franco. I'm really glad to see the team finally inject some youth into its roster. While some of these players have similar production over the course of the season to older guys, their best days are still ahead of them. They're still learning and they offer hope for the future. So with all that in mind, I decided to see just how important the current Mets can be for the Mets long term. So once every day or so, I'll put up a post about the future possibilites . Here are the players under consideration:
- Pedro Beato
- RA Dickey
- Dillon Gee
- Jonathon Niese
- Bobby Parnell
- Mike Pelfrey
- Francisco Rodriguez
- Josh Thole
- Daniel Murphy
- Jose Reyes
- Ruben Tejada
- Justin Turner
- Jason Bay
- Angel Pagan
- Jason Pridie
- Taylor Buchholz
- Ike Davis
- David Wright
- Lucas Duda
- Fernando Martinez
- Jenrry Mejia
- Johan Santana
I know there are a few older guys on the list like RA Dickey, but I think analyzing his future on the team is going to be really interesting as a matter of fact.
Look for the first segment within the next few days.
