Really, the Mets were undercut to a large degree this year by Feliciano's sudden inability to get righties and Heilman's sudden inability to get anybody.
Not that that should excuse Omar; he shouldn't have counted on these guys without stockpiling other arms somewhere else. And he really shouldn't count on any reliever sustaining prior success in any given year.

Privately, the Mets believe they scored enough runs last season (799, tied for second in the NL with the Phillies). Unless they can pull off an unlikely trade of Luis Castillo and add free agent Orlando Hudson to play second base, the likely move is to add a backup infielder such as Alex Cora.
