With respect to the principals, I don't see how the Mets gave up that much. Is Heilman and Smith were any good, the bullpen in 2008 would not have been the oozing sore it was. Everyone loves Endy, but his skill set does not really include offense and guys like that arfe always available. Putz is a year removed from being one of the top relievers in basesball. It sound like a risk worth taking to me.
There was also a seasonal split- the Mets bullpen was probably above average until August/September... The Met may have blown 18% of such leads but I wouldn't be surprised if the first half % was 15% and the 2nd half 21%.
WRT Mets 2008 rotation, ERA of 3.98, league 4.43 (starters)
Met relievers: 4.25, league 4.06.
Mets starters had an ERA+ of 107, their relievers 100 - most teams' pens had lower ERAs than their starters, not the Mets
