Sometimes I’m wrong, like when I said that Juan Lagares would show no offensive growth in 2014 and would instead backslide into being unplayable. Sometimes I’m right, like when I said that Jacob deGrom might have the brighter future than…
Michael Conforto is finally playing for Brooklyn and there is certainly a lot to like about what we’ve seen so far. What struck me about seeing him is how unlike the scouting report I’d read, he played. Conforto was pegged…
On 7/17 I had the chance to go back out to Brooklyn and watch the Cyclones play. I’m repeating myself but, it is a great ballpark and you should make the effort to get down there. The game was televised…
Jack Leathersich is a left handed relief pitcher with Binghamton. He’s not a big guy and he doesn’t throw particularly hard, but his results are phenomenal. He is the biggest strikeout threat in the Met farm system and could be…
I was asked over the weekend, “Should the Mets fire Terry Collins?” My answer, “Yes.” My reason is not what most people might say. Collins is guilty of one solitary cardinal sin, in my eyes. He insisted on playing Ruben…

Met fans had been excited to see Travis d’Arnaud since R.A. Dickey (then the reigning Cy Young winner) was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. It was expected that the Mets gave the keys to the starting catching position over…
With all of the focus on Jacob deGrom, Rafael Montero, Wilmer Flores and Noah Syndergaard, we’ve forgotten that the #5 Met prospect (according to MLB.com) hasn’t logged a single at bat this season. Amed Rosario will be making his 2014…
The 2014 MLB Draft Begins June 5th. In preparation I’ve reviewed the Top 18 players for the draft with a pretty clear assumption the Met’s 10th pick will be among these names. It will be interesting to see which way…
The quintessential source for minor league baseball information is Baseball America. They are the keepers of the most respected ranking lists and are usually the gold standard for judging the relative strength of a farm system. They recently published a…
