They totaled 17.9 bWAR. The '18 Mets had 7 players w/ 2+ bWAR, all farm hands: Jake, Noah, Zack, Lugo, Nimmo, Conforto, McNeil. They totaled 29.4 bWAR. That same Mets squad in 2019 ADDED Pete Alonso, a full season of McNeil, and the now-productive Dom Smith... and yet they're still a 3rd place team under .500 That is criminally awful team building So the 2018 mets had a stronger core of younger players contributing more value to their team than the 1996 yankees, all of those young players not being paid a ton (except deGrom). They just bombed offseason additions so hard as they always do, as you do when you don't spend or trade wisely. When you have that much young cheap talent, not being able to produce a contender, let alone a team with a winning record, is truly embarrassing --- ~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion 2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS ...
