People like to complain. As long as the complaints are legitimate, that’s okay. The issue is when some people are so eager to complain that they throw all reason and judgment out the window. Then it’s just sport. And if…
Those who read my blog posts will remember that I try not to be so “Doom and Gloom” about the prospects. I try to focus on the good and let the bad sort itself out in its own time. I’ve…
How many people, besides me and Brian, tune in to see the results of each minor league outing? My guess is that a few of you check in from time to time but that most readers don’t dive into each…
We talk about Woods Richardson, Szapucki, Kay and Peterson often enough. These are the starting pitchers who are supposed to make impacts at the major league level and who, based on their draft or previous successes, are supposed to be…

Spring Training is a week away from ending and few positions remain hanging in the balance. Will the Mets management allow the fans to force them into starting Pete Alonso’s clock early? Probably not. Who will make up the back…
Whether it’s simply a new season, his sleep apnea treatment or the competition of fighting off Pete Alonso, one cannot ignore the fact that Dominic Smith is relevant for the first time in what seems like a long time. As…
People were not pleased with me when I neglected to list Luis Guillorme in my top prospect list of 2018 and it seemed that they would prove me wrong based upon his strong Spring Training. The defensively gifted infielder had…
