I’m going to go with adequately rated, but note that I rate it very highly. There are better lunchmeats out there but they also tend to be more expensive, and no brand offers a better variety than Boar’s Head — the area standard. Also, there’s such a huge drop-off between their stuff and both the pre-packaged nonsense that turns my stomach just to think about and the non-Boar’s Head generic brands they slice for you behind the counter. I have been burned way too many times by knock-off ham.

I bring a sandwich to work almost daily, and about 95 percent of the time that sandwich is filled entirely with Boar’s Head products. To keep things interesting, I usually use two types of meat and one cheese. Usually it’s a variety of ham and a variety of turkey and some cheese I’ve decided should complement them well, but once in a while I buy the chicken breast and roast beef to prevent myself from getting sick of ham and turkey sandwiches all the time.

This week’s selection: Buffalo roast chicken, Londonport roast beef and Vermont cheddar. It’s geographically diverse, but it works. I had it today with some leftover green sauce from Pio Pio, which would make pretty much anything delicious.

OK, I’ll bite. Tons of caveats here, though. Mostly that I don’t really know what I’m talking about when it comes to prospects, except that I believe my general skepticism is justified. Also that 2014 is a hell of a long way away, and any number of things could change for the Mets, these players, or hell, planet Earth between now and then.

But I’ll go with Lucas Duda in left, Kirk Nieuwenhuis in right and some to be determined free agent in center. I’m holding out hope for Matt den Dekker because he’s pretty funny on Twitter, but expecting two relatively unheralded (at least in the national sense) current Minor Leaguers to emerge as starters by 2014 seems a bit too bullish for my tastes.

I’m picking Nieuwenhuis over den Dekker because he has hit more and done it at higher levels, and I’m putting him in right field instead of center because I’m hoping it starts happening this year and displaces Jason Bay. Also, since Duda, Nieuwenhuis and den Dekker all hit left-handed, there’s a role for righty-hitting Juan Lagares in there too if he shows his breakout 2011 was more than a BABIP fantasy.

Brandon Nimmo will have just turned 21 on Opening Day 2014, so expecting him to be ready by then seems pretty optimistic. A lot of people seem to love Cesar Puello, but it seems troublesome that he got hit by pitch more than he walked in 2011.

Well if every current Met was a single sandwich, they’d be a pretty huge sandwich with a ton of ingredients of varying deliciousness. If you mean you’re looking for sandwich comps for each individual player on the team, well… I usually get off before six and even though my wife and I agreed we wouldn’t do anything for Valentine’s Day I should probably get home at some reasonable hour. Here are a few that I can’t remember covering in the past:

Lucas Duda is a sandwich I discussed here a long time ago, The Full Bird from the old Busco’s Deli in Rockville Centre: A chicken-cutlet hero with bacon, american cheese and mayo. The Full Bird is good, tremendous and unsubtle. I very much enjoy the Full Bird, but the Full Bird is not a sandwich built for speed.

Dillon Gee is a tuna-salad sandwich. Coincidentally, that’s Dillon Gee’s favorite sandwich.

You ever see a sandwich that looks delicious on the menu and features all the elements of a great sandwich, and then you eat the sandwich and it’s underwhelming and you can’t figure out why? That’s the Jon Niese of sandwiches. It’s still not bad and you’re willing to try it again, but you feel like it should be so much better.

Mike Pelfrey is a sandwich from the lunch place nearest your office. You wind up going there all the time and sometimes you get so sick of it you swear you’re never going to get one ever again, but then inevitably you get busy or it’s raining or you just don’t feel like thinking of someplace else to go and you wind up with the same old thing. And truth be told, it’s not as bad as you think it is; you just get tired of eating it sometimes.

Jose Reyes is someone took my sandwich.
