Fantasy baseball team report: New York Mets

Fantasy baseball team report: New York Mets image

Who's Hot: Daniel Murphy finished fifth among second basemen in the Fantasy Source Roto Rater. He won't be anywhere near the fifth one drafted though, so he could be a value this spring. ... Eric Young Jr. swiped 38 bases in just 91 games with the Mets. If he plays every day, he'll be a cheap source of steals.

Who's Not: While Travis d'Arnaud hit on the farm, he batted just .202 in 31 big league games. ... Curtis Granderson comes to Citi Field, which was favorable to lefty sluggers last year, but not as nice as Yankee Stadium was.

Who's Hurt: Ace Matt Harvey is likely out for the 2014 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. ...  David Wright missed 50 games last year with a hamstring injury. Wright will be fine for the '14 season. ...  Closer Bobby Parnell had surgery on a herniated disc in his neck in September and is not certain to be ready for spring training.
