Offseason Moves

With the exception of them extending Yoenis Cespedes with the big contract he wanted, the Mets haven't brought in anybody huge that could be a fantasy contributor, aside from Neil Walker. Jerry Blevins and Fernando Salas aren't big names unless your league values holds.

Hitting Overview

I'll be honest here. There's not a lot of sexy, sexy options out there for fantasy players. Cespedes is the big bat - we rank him at No. 11 among all outfielders, so be ready to grab him early. Jay Bruce could be hypnotized into thinking he's hitting in Cincinnati all the time, but barring that, we've got him at No. 72. We're also wondering how long Curtis Granderson can stave off Father Time. He's turning 36 this March and he's ranked at No. 52, a couple spots higher than Michael Conforto. Walker (No. 15 at second) and Lucas Duda (No. 21 at first) are coming off back injuries and there's no telling what David Wright (No. 34 at third) has left in the tank. Jose Reyes, who will probably spell Wright often at the hot corner, is at No. 22 in the positional rankings. Asdrubal Cabrera is ranked No. 24 at shortstop while Travis d'Arnaud is No. 19 at catchers. The real Mets team might be able to win a lot of games without huge production from spots, but relying on a lot of these guys could be the equivalent of fantasy suicide.

Pitching Overview

If a lot of the hitters seem like they could be cheap options at Fantasy Costco, then the starting pitchers are at a premium. Noah Syndergaard is sure to be one of the top three starting pitchers snatched off the board in any draft while fellow long-haired righty Jacob deGrom is No. 16. We foresee Matt Harvey coming back well from his surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome, ranking him at No. 33. Steven Matz is also a favorite of ours at No. 40. While it depends on how many games Jeurys Familia is suspended for his domestic violence incident, we have him at No. 18, partly due to that concern. Zack Wheeler (No. 107), Seth Lugo (No. 117) and Robert Gsellman (No. 111) could all be sleeper picks later. Watch them, since the rotation has had health problems over the years.

Prospects

Amed Rosario and Dominic Smith might come up to the majors at some point in 2017. Smith could find time at first base if Duda struggles and Terry Collins doesn't stick Conforto there instead. Rosario plays shortstop and he's considered their best prospect. Other names like Justin Dunn and Wuilmer Becerra might be best tucked away for '18 or '19.

Conclusion

Like I said before, some hitters could outperform expectations, but hoping that Duda and Wright regain their old form is a long shot, at best. Especially Wright, with his spinal stenosis condition. If you need to rely on a lot of Mets hitters on your team, either you are a huge fan of theirs or your draft strategy went well out the window. It's great if you get one or two of their starting pitchers, but please have a good luck charm nearby whenever they start so they stay healthy...
