Next up in our projection series is Wilmer Flores. Perhaps no player was more polarizing than Flores and our individual projections are a good indication of this. Take a minute to review our original projection for Flores prior to the 2015 season. Here was our group forecast: PA – 484 AVG – .265 OBP – [...]
Next up in our projection series is Daniel Murphy. This may have been our last year with Murphy as a Met but his fans can be comforted that he went out with a bang, having played marvelously down the stretch during the regular season and continuing the strong play through the NLDS and NLCS. Take [...]
The 2015-2016 offseason is off and running, as we have seen the Red Sox acquire Craig Kimbrel, while the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim acquired Andrelton Simmons from the Atlanta Braves. As for the New York Mets, multiple reports came out saying that the Mets were engaged in some talks during the GM Meetings, but [...]
Last week I wrote that the Mets should open the coffers and sign Jason Heyward. The reasons are outlined in that article, but what was left unstated was that it should not be the only significant signing the Mets should make. Significant in this case doesn't mean tons of money but simply players that would [...]
Depending on what stage of grief you may be in at this point you might be ready to look back at some of the excellent things that went on with the Mets during the 2015 regular and post seasons. Remembering back one full year ago we were hoping that the front office might be able [...]
Interesting stuff happened on Thursday. It was revealed that the Mets checked in on Andrelton Simmons, were told it would take Harvey or deGrom, and promptly checked back out. Simmons was ultimately dealt to the Angels. Meanwhile there seems to be a chance that the Mets would not even tender a contract to shortstop Ruben [...]
As the hot stove simmers, GMs are kicking the tires on a free agent class stacked with top and mid-tier starting pitchers. At first blush, this might seem a bad year for the Mets’ front office to dabble in long term contracts. After all, Mr. Met might be the only mascot in baseball who can [...]
Next up in our projection series is David Wright. All of us were thrilled that Wright made it back to the playoffs with the Mets. Unfortunately his season was marred by injury, one that left most of us wondering if he’d be able to continue playing at a high level. But before we get to [...]
In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, there were three big factors in Major League Baseball: offensive production, big names hitting the free agent market every year, and the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox spending more money than imaginable to win championships. Nowadays, there are three new big factors in Major League Baseball: [...]
INTERVIEW WITH JEFF GROSE: PART 1 Back in November of 2014, Card of the Week's Mystery Met episode 9 featured a fresh-faced '70s prospect named Jeff Grose. The internet being the strange and magical thing that it is, the piece made its way back to Grose, who left a quick note in the comments section. [...]
A+: Matt Netter, San Francisco Giants – The Giants had a good amount of money to spend and the ability to build onto their core of players without trading away young talent. They brought in Alex Gordon for a song ($15.1 Million), overpaid for Daniel Murphy ($14 Million) and filled out their rotation with Yovani [...]
It has been just under two years since I began writing for Mets360.com, and it has been an incredibly educational and pleasurable time spent with you all. As I need to take some time away for a while, I am left wondering if I can leave something for you. Clearly my signing of Yoenis Cespedes [...]
