Its not accurate to label them on the rise because they have questions in the rotation? Do you know anything about the Mets organization? Have you heard of Phillup Humber and Mike Pelfrey? Let me educate you. They are two of the top pitching prospects in baseball, and along with John Maine and Oliver Perez are 4 young talented starters that will begin being inserted in the rotation over the next year or two. Along with David Wright, Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran all young core position players under 30, that is what you call having a team on the up and up. Add in Carlos Gomez and Fernando Martinez two of the top young outfielders in baseball. When someone says a team has a bright future that means building a farm system and an organization that can compete for years, so you have to look at the whole picture not "well they have questions in this years rotation". Having questions in your rotation for one year doesn't mean you can't label them as an organization on the rise. Try doing a little research before making uneducated statements. Maybe the Rangers are an organization on the rise I don't know their farm system but I'm guessing not because if they did they wouldn't have dumped money on Padilla and be offering so much for Zito. And for a pitcher why would you want to pitch in a bandbox like they have in Texas when you can pitch in one of the top home run killing ballparks in baseball, Shea Stadium. With weaker lineups, no DH, a good organization on the rise and ask anyone the best clubhouse around, that's why everyone is saying the mets are a better fit. 3 years ago, I wouldn't touch the Mets they were such a mess but they are a different story these days.
