Disclaimer, this article was written before Sunday’s game. When discussing pure power, Lucas Duda measures toe to toe with some of the elite hitters in the game. His two home runs so far this season have traveled 369 ft and 436 ft, and his average home run traveled over 403 ft last year, well above [...]
Daniel Murphy's 3-run homer in the top of the 9th gave the Mets a most improbable and much needed win in the series opener in Miami. The Mets arrived in Florida at 4:30 AM and the offense showed it. Through 8 innings, the New Yorkers could only muster 2 hits, a 2 out single by [...]
It's often been said that it's a good kind of problem to have when as a baseball team you have a surplus of high end talent at one position. I tend to agree with that statement in most cases because usually there are workable ways to trade your surplus to fill an area of need [...]
Kevin Plawecki is already in the majors, proving the bevvy of talent that was stock-piled in AAA. Next in the queue waiting for a shot at the majors is Dilson Herrera. How long it takes him to reach the majors depends on many things but, at this point most of them are beyond his control. [...]

In the very beginning of this 2015 season, the New York Mets are playing great, as their 14-4 record is the best in Major League Baseball. Granted their schedule has consisted of terrible teams that include the Atlanta Brave and Philadelphia Phillies, but a win is a win, and the Mets are dominating poor competition. [...]
One of the bigger questions heading into the 2015 season was how much production the Mets could realistically expect from their aging corner outfielders Curtis Granderson and Michael Cuddyer. The Mets signed Granderson in the winter of 2013 to what remains the largest free-agent contract during Sandy Alderson's time as the team's General Manager. The [...]
Now that's more like it! The Mets came storming back from an unpleasant visit to the Bronx last night. This time the Mets offense was on display, as they hit three home runs and tallied a dozen hits. Kevin Plawecki had a nice offensive game by driving in the first three runs of his career, [...]
