In terms of rebuilding, I don't think Mets fans will tolerate a rebuilding year and I think most Mets fans expect this team to compete for the playoffs every year.

Because as much as Daniel Murphy is a player we can like, he also does not have enough power to meet the Mets offensive needs, especially at Citi Field. I also think that if the Mets are looking to insert a promising rookie then they're basically giving away the first couple of months of the season on an experiment. So here's the question. Is 2010 a rebuilding year? The wait and see approach to first seems to indicate that. I think most fans (perhaps I'm wrong) want the Mets to go deep into the playoffs in 2010. We'll need some heavy lumber at 1B to make that happen. One other possible reason is that the Wilpons are out of money.
