Who should the Mets fear?

john Delcos at Lo Hud, asks one simple question:

The Phillies improved their pitching in the offseason. The Dodgers and San Diego are better. St. Louis lost some pitching. The Giants added Barry Zito. Atlanta didn’t do anything special. The Cubs spent a pile of money. The Astros are worse.

The Mets didn’t add a big name starter, so they are pretty much in the same position as they were at the end of last year.

Who in the National League should the Mets be concerned about? What’s the team that could derail them?

Just because the Cubs spent a butt load of money, it doesn't mean that they are any better. Anyway I am going to have to say I would fear the Phillies the most. That's if they can find someone to protect Howard.
