Mets Are One Win Away From World Series

Now I know what Terry Collins meant when he said that even if the Mets had lost to the Dodgers in the NLCS, this season was still 'gravy'. Because with the great young starters we have, I would've been happy with just a division title this year too, while looking forward to plenty of years of competing, success and more division titles to come--as long as DeGrom, Harvey, Syndergaad and Matz stay healthy. But now, for the first time in 15 years, we're one win away from the World Series and it just feels too good to be true. Now I just want the sweep and then bring on the Blue Jays or Royals.

Eric Young Should be On Mets NLCS Roster

To me, this is an easy decision. Eric Young represents speed, something the Mets seriously lack. And ask the 2004 Yankees how important speed can be in the playoffs. Then too Kirk Nieuwenhuis
seems to be a good guy and had some big knocks for us this season, but Juan Lagares is playing really well and in the playoffs, where runs can often be a premium, having Young on your roster could give Terry Collins a more valuable option in a tight spot against the Cubs. Bottom line, Sandy Alderson needs to do the right thing and replace Nieuwenhuis with Young.
