The excitement seems generally to be from existing players, and the relief corps is being steady at the moment. The newbie bats/position players from outside the organization (and Peralta, honestly) aren't adding too much.
I don't even know if it is possible, but what I would think about doing is getting rid of at least one of the new bats and finding a team willing to (while eating some salary) to relinquish a starter. Holmes is out for the long term, and you have a bunch of short-stint starters.
Trying to rush a rookie or stretching out useful long relief options is robbing Peter to pay for Paul.
Anyway, they had a good week. Yesterday's game is likely to be a repeat player on the Mets' highlight games rotation.
The thing I noticed and then later heard Todd Ziele comment, a great sign is Soto showing some emotion by hugging Carson. Hopefully he is evolving into the team leader and mentor to his teammates.
