Mets prediction
Mike at Mike's Baseball Rants has done a more extensive version of what I did the other day, using Win Shares to predict the Mets win total this year. He says if they sign Delgado, they are an 87 win team on paper.
I think 87 wins after spending all that money would be somewhat disappointing, but it would put them right in the Wild Card race. Here's his article.
Then again, when I think about it, the Mets are definitely not a 90 win team with their current bullpen. If they sign Delgado and that puts them at about 87, then 1 or 2 good bullpen signings could definitely get them there.
