Be Bad, Be Very Bad

Barring some kind of 20 game win streak, coupled with about 8 teams totally collapsing, the Mets are done as contenders this year. If that is the case then there is no reason to be mediocre. If they are not going to contend, then be bad, really bad. There is so much more upside to being totally awful rather than middle of the pack. The Mets have had a lousy draft position the last 3 years based on their record. Plus, they have been in the category of teams that have to give up a 1st round round draft pick to sign a Type A free agent. The bottom is so much better than the middle in terms of building for the future. A series of great draft positions, imagine having the 4th or 5th pick every round. Add in the bonus of not giving up a number one for signing a top free agent and the rebound can begin. Lets Go Mets, all the way to a top draft pick!
