The Mets' farm system has been improving and getting deeper. Last year David Groveman ranked the club's top 50 prospects. Once again, we will list the team's top 50 prospects but this time instead of it being a solo effort, several different writers collaborated on the rankings. A lot of research, conversations, stalemates and cooperation [...]
The Mets have announced today the signing of OF Michael Cuddyer to a two year contract. Cuddyer is a career .279/.347/.466 hitter. Since Cuddyer received a qualifying offer from the Colorado Rockies, the Mets will surrender the 15th overall pick in the 2015 Amateur Draft. Cuddyer has struggled with injuries recently, and hasn't played in [...]
This season the development of Jeurys Familia and Jenrry Mejia in the back end of the Mets bullpen got a lot of attention, but flying more under the radar was the season that Carlos Torres put together in middle relief. Torres solidified himself as one of Terry Collins’ favorite arms with his stellar performance, striking [...]
With the left field in New York still looking to be filled, there is also some spaces to be filled in the 2015 Las Vegas outfield. Last year, Cesar Puello, Andrew Brown, Matt den Dekker, Cory Vaughn, and Kirk Nieuwenhuis all appeared in more than 50 games in the outfield for the 51s. If the [...]
Entering the 2014 season, the Mets knew they had a solid catcher in Travis d’Arnaud, and they also knew they had a solid prospect in Kevin Plawecki. MLB.com rated Plawecki as the eighth best prospect in the Mets’ farm system in their preseason rankings, and now he is second because of a solid season. With [...]
The early offseason is typically a happy time for most teams and their fan bases. The top free agents are all coming to your favorite team, unless you’re convinced that your GM is going to trade magic beans and get back an impact player. There’s some of that with the Mets this offseason but it [...]
Just for fun, let's do a poll and check the pulse of the fan base. Thanks for participating!
There is a camp of Mets fans that refuse to entertain the idea of trading any prospect for a player. Apparently when Milton Freidman said, “There is no such thing as a free lunch,” they weren’t paying attention. When news broke on Thursday of the Mets interest in White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez this faction [...]
The “Hot Stove” season is off and running and all teams looking to upgrade their rosters have begun to put out feelers gauging interest. Several media reports will emerge daily from here on in, reflecting genuine or flimsy interest teams may or may not have on certain players. While speculation will no doubt be the [...]
With the offseason underway and the MLB Project over, it felt right to start a concept that has been in my mind for several years now. As I grew older and the team became the sports franchise that matters the most to me, I became fascinated with the years that the team existed that I [...]
The Mets have never been big on awards. In its history, the franchise has had one Batting Champion, four Rookies of the Year, eighteen Gold Glove winners, five Cy Young Award winners, three Home Run Champions and no MVPs. That’s in the span of 53 seasons, folks. While collecting trophies is nice, winning pennants is [...]
