As we hit the All-Star Break, let's look at where we are. The Mets are in 4th place in the East, 9 games under .500. However, there are a lot of positives to look at. There win percentage is currently .451, and earlier this year it was under .400. Their opening day starter, on the DL for about a month, is going to return. Matt Harvey has established himself as a legitimate Ace. Jeremy Hefner, Dillon Gee, and Zach Wheeler round out a solid young 5 man rotation.
Offensively speaking, they have been scoring runs, averaging more than 3 runs per game for the last month. We were the first road team to win a series in Atlanta, we swept the Giants. Losing 2 of 3 on the road in Pittsburgh is nothing to be ashamed of.
When we return from break, continue making positive steps. Third place should be the immediate goal followed by .500. Unless somebody really wants Marlon Byrd, I don't anticipate any moves before the trade deadline.
