The New York Mets. Going into the year that was a sentence many teams did NOT want to hear when they found out who they were playing. Now its changed though.
Last year the mets had one of the worst collapses in history of the MLB as they failed to reach the playoffs. This year they are having new problems.
So why are the Mets struggling?
Here is why:
1. Bullpen- Billy Wagner has blown 3 saves in his last 3 appearences. He is supposed to be a possible hall of fame closer. Aaron Heilman(who they could have traded a few years ago in a combo deal with Lastings Milledge to get MANNY RAMIREZ) is the Kyle Farnsworth of the mets. They have blown many leads this year and it seems like they cant hold a lead.
2. Team Chemistry- Willie Randolph is not doing a good job of holding this team together. Billy Wagner has basically called out EVERY person on the team(whats next...calling out the hot dog vendors and blaming THEM for losing a game) meanwhile he has blown three saves in a row! The spanish and american players are arguing and the whole team is a mess.
3. Media- Willie Randolph's job being in jeporady is a daily topic as we have heard a different thing daily. The media is often posting untrue or controversial articles. Overall this hurts the team chemistry.
Mets are currently at a 31-34 record and have seemed to struggle of late.
MY FIXING METHOD: First fire Willy Randolph to get a fresh start. Second demote Aaron Heilman to make him appear RARELY in games. Third id say they should try to trade for a solid Relief Pitcher...if they cant then they should find one in their system.
