Gose is already a solid fielder in CF w/ above average speed in his 180+ MLB AB's. If he can cut down the k's and play to his potential, he's a .330 OBP/40+ SB's CF. Basically he'd be our leadoff hitter, but I wouldn't want to add a legit prospect for him. I rather go after Arencibia; Gose, and Syndergaard(potential #2 starter who's ETA is 2014) for dikkey. Hell, I'd do Arencibia and Gose for dikkey. Sure Arencbia's OBP is sub-300, but he 's a solid fielder and he'll give you 20+ HR's w/ a .430+ SLG and is 27 w/ 3+ years of team control.

Sounds like sandy is about to flip Beltran and dikkey into three top 50 prospects. This is the sandy I was waiting for, and makes the Reyes fiasco look more and more like wilpon fukkery instead of sandy falling asleep at the wheel.

Toronto with both Reyes and dikkey. Think I have a new second favorite team to root for.

D'Arnaud our catcher for Opening Day '13, w/ Syndergaard being in the rotation next year 
I'd rather have D'Arnaud and Gose, but pitching wins championships. Mejia in the rotation for next year, w/ Wheeler in Queens by July. Not bad. Assuming Gee bounces back from his injury and Wheeler; Harvey, or Mejia pans out, we got a solid 3 pitchers. Then we have Synder; Fulmer, Tapia, and Montero competing for rotation slots in 2014(Synder) and 2015(Fulmer; Tapia, Montero) respectively.
2016 Mets
Niese; Gee, Harvey/Wheeler/Mejia, Synder/Fulmer/Tapia/Montero, #5 starter
Obviously all those guys listed won't pan out, so if 2 of those 7 prospects I listed(Fulmer; Mejia, Harvey, Wheeler, Montero, Tapia,, Synder) become decent MLB starters by 2016, we'll have a solid rotation. Go after a Price or Felix in 2015 or 2016 and a Heyward or Justin Upton in 2016, and we'd have a perennial 90 win team.
Now if we spend money in 2014 and get two legit outfielders, we have a legit shot at competing in 2015, we can win 85+ games in 2014 if 3 of the following of Gee/Harvey/Wheeler/Mejia play well in 2014. Looking back, I would of probably traded Wright, but hey the sky isn't falling

Aside from the BJ`s trying to extend dikkey, there was another piece of Mets news announced. Big Pelf is now a Twin. They signed him for 4 milli plus another 1.5 in incentives.

If Wheeler or Harvey plays well this year, along w/ someone out of Valdespin/Duda/Kirk becoming a legit outfielder, I can give a damn about this team's record in 2013. This and likely 2014 will be "bushes" seasons, we have to wait a while til hopefully one of our young pitchers(Harvey; Wheeler, Syndergaard) becomes good along w/ Gee bouncing back from his injury. Sure we have a 30-40 mil payroll in 2014, but right now we only have 1 proven pitcher and no outfielders. Unless the Mets have a top 10 rotation in 2014, there's no way we'll be good in 2014 unless the Mets get two legit outfielders via FA in 2014 and 2-3 insurance #5 starters in FA.
