I was thinking this very thing this morning. I think many folks checked out on August 1st and aren’t excited about Duda. They should be.
In 2012, the Mets could realistically see Wright, Davis and Duda hit 30 and 100 in the middle of that order. That alone can make a successful offense, but with any combination of Thole, Torres, or Tejada getting on base, this lineup could be a legitimate force to be reckoned with.

And if Santana can be anything Santana-like….well maybe the Wilpons will be less stupid come July.
Maybe against the Houston Astros, Seattle Mariners, Oakland A’s etc. I honestly believe we are the Pittsburgh Pirates of the NL East.
Not against the pitching staffs we are going to face in the NL East. It is just an OK lineup as compared to the teams we are going to face in our division.
All the other teams have made great improvements and the only thing we have done is move a wall in!….Nice!
Ya gotta believe…if DW is DW…Bay comes back…Duda hits 25…Ike comes back….Murph is solid. That’s not awful.
