[A] net increase of 5-7 wins is reasonable assuming everything else remained constant.

It won't of course, but all we can do is try to make educated guesses.

Eminently reasonable! That's where I came up with 5-6 net wins, because I think Santana does represent a substantial upgrade to the Mets' rotation.

And MacNut--if you think that about the Mets, I can only imagine what you'd have said about the Rockies last year. 😉
 
I am looking forward to what the Rockies can do this year. They are right on the bubble of being great.

Surely you jest? I live here, and NOBODY gives them a realistic shot. Which is, I think, dead right--last year was one of those flukish, once in a hundred years kind of thing. . .
 
Glavine was slowing down last year. Not sure he would help them any now.

The Mets really don't have a rotation, no mid relief. They have Santana and a bunch of old pitchers.

Heilman and Smith and Sosa = not bad at all.
