Wasn't Zack Wheeler the most highly rated of the young Mets pitchers at one point? He might still end up being pretty good but after seeing Harvey last year and then seeing some of what Syndergaard can do...wow. I know that the word on Syndergaard has been "he's only a two-pitch pitcher so he may ultimately be destined for the bullpen" because his breaking pitches aren't up to snuff, but he sure looks the part of a rotational horse.
Yeah, the Mets have the makings of a sick pitching staff. Harvey can be an ace, Syndergaard is right there as a top pitching prospect, and Wheeler certainly hasn't fallen off.... he's just been overshadowed by Harvey the 23 year old all star. And Syndergaard is like found money from the Dickey trade. But Wheeler would still be considered a #1 pitcher here if not for Harvey, so he'll be a top flight #2.
Not only that but a lot of people think Rafael Montero (20 years old) is on the fast track to the big leagues and is a future quality starter as well.
Plus they've got Gee and Niese around to round out the rotation, Parnell a mainstay in the bullpen, and guys like Jenrry Mejia and Vic Black as high potential future bullpen studs as well.
The Mets have the arms to be a dominant pitching team in about 2 years. Man, imagine them trotting out Harvey-Wheeler-Syndergaard-Montero-Niese with a bullpen of Gee, Parnell, Mejia, and Black as the closer? OMG. Every one of those starters is a plus for the spot in the rotation where they are slotted.
Now they need the bats. It's contingent on guys like Flores and Nimmo panning out and the Mets probably finding a legit elite FA bat somewhere to import.
