I'm going to miss R.A. He was just so fun to watch, and his 2012 season was simply incredible. I'll go out of my way to try to watch Jays games where he's pitching.

That being said, it was an offer the Mets couldn't refuse. Sandy was pretty adamant he wouldn't move Dickey for less than 2 top prospects - and that's exactly what he did. He stuck to his guns and it paid off. I expect d'Arnaud to be in the bigs at some point during the first half of 2013, and he could wind up anchoring the Mets behind the plate for the next decade.

Wheeler should be up in early 2013 as well to get his feet wet. Harvey, Niese, and Wheeler might be a fun rotation to watch in 2014 and beyond plus Syndergaard coming up within a couple years too. Perhaps the Mets can make an A's-esque run in 2013, but if not I still think their future looks bright in 2014.
