For ESPN.com, Christopher Harris takes a look at 30 burning questions, one for each team.

For the Mets he asks, “What can we expect from the Mets’ rotation behind Johan Santana?”

Harris takes a look at Pedro Martinez, John Maine, Oliver Perez, Orlando Hernandez and Mike Pelfrey, writing a paragraph each about their situation and their potential outlook.

Amusingly, he writes about El Duque:

What can you say about El Duque that wasn’t written in the Magna Carta? The dude is old. If he’s 38, George Burns is 65 and playing the Catskills.

Yes, he’s old. Yes, Alou is old.  But I guess we deserve the old jokes after giving two starting jobs to people who in their wallet have pictures of Marilyn Monroe, some used floss and an AARP card that is set to expire in June. 

I just don’t know why everybody is bashing Pelfrey so much. Yes he struggled last year, to the tune of starting the year 0-7 but still.  But, he has a great sinking fastball, and with time his secondary pitches will improve.  Let’s not forget he showed promise at the end of last year.  He was 3-1 in September, with wins against the Nationals, Braves and Astros.  Plus he can bring some youth to the club.  Sure, Alou and Duque might complain about that new school hip-hop jibber jabber that’s playing in the background, but they’ll be gone soon. 

Beyond this rant, it’s a decent read if you’re a fantasy baseball junkie.
