Does the season hang on Matt Harvey? We seem to think that Noah Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom will be both healthy and dominant. And while we haven’t projected Steven Matz yet, it’s probably safe to assume that not many will…
Asdrubal Cabrera was a strong offensive player in 2011 and 2012. Then from 2013-2015, he put up a combined .712 OPS, one that was that high only because of a monster second half of 2015, when a .348 BABIP led…
See what Henry Wadsworth Longellow and Ken McMullen have to do with Neil Walker.
It’s still a bit hard to believe what the Mets have with Jacob deGrom. No one considers his 2016 as especially great, yet through his first 21 starts of the season, he had a 2.30 ERA, a 1.050 WHIP and…
Since his defense was as good as his offense in 2015, Yoenis Cespedes had a monster year, recording a 6.7 fWAR. His defense was not as good in 2016, as his numbers in CF were worse than expected, and he…

This time a year ago, Michael Conforto was one of the prospects who made the Mets’ system one of the best in the game. Few imagined that he would make his MLB debut in 2015 and virtually no one expected…
Steven Matz made his MLB debut last year in late June and was impressive in two starts before landing on the disabled list with a torn lat. He was sidelined for three months but came back to make four more…
It was a weird year for Lucas Duda in 2015. Everyone wondered if he could duplicate the power he showed in 2014 and there were also concerns about his ability to hit lefties. So, Duda went out and again put…
Many expected Noah Syndergaard to make his MLB debut in 2014. But he didn’t have a particularly impressive season in Triple-A and the Mets opted not to give him a promotion. He started back in the minors at the beginning…
After years of watching Daniel Murphy at 2B, Mets fans will have to get used to someone else manning second base in 2016. The club brought in Neil Walker to fill the bill. And while the fans won’t have immediate…
