To find this out, I'm going to use a stat called WAR or Wins Above Replacement. It is explained here. A team full of replacement level players would have a .300 Winning Percentage.
The Mets batting and Fielding WAR is 7.7. The pitching WAR is 7.9. After 133 games (how many the Mets have played) a .300 WP would mean a team had a record of 40-93. (rounded). So the Mets have 15.6 Wins Above Replacement. Added to 40 gives the Mets 56 wins, which is pretty damn close to what they have (59). So, I'm not saying they should have 56 wins, I'm saying that is what the talent level on this team is.
