When your rotation is: Seaver, Koosman, Gooden, Cone & Darling you are going to win you fair share of games. One thing is for sure, the Shea crowd will have top tier pitching & pitching is 85% of the game. The lineup will be centered around enigmatic slugger Darryl Strawberry, who can blast them out of any ballyard. Gold glovers like Keith Hernandez, Felix Millan, Jerry Grote and Buddy Harrelson will anchor the infield and get on base for the big bats of Straw, HoJo and Kevin Mac. Having Grote behind the plate will almost neutralize the speed game of many national league teams. During his prime Grote was known to be the best catch and throw backstop in the league. When asked what he would do if he was on the same team with Grote, HOF’er Johnny Bench said, “I would have learned to play 3rd base”. Manager Andy Weinrib returns to the Met bench for his 12 consecutive season. Last season he piloted the team to the NLCS, so big things are expected from the big man !
