The early decisions in any offseason surround the status of a team’s 40 man roster. The 40 man roster is The Great Wall of a professional baseball team. It’s what allows an organization to protect its players so that they can be allowed to develop into a team that should be able to contend. 40 [...]
Next up in our projection review series – just to see how we did and how wacky some of our projections were – is Juan Lagares. Lagares opened a lot of eyes in 2013 with his outstanding defense, but no one was quite sure what he would do with the bat. The least optimistic of [...]
As we continue our nominations for the least valuable player of the 2014 New York Mets, it may be safe to assume that we could just stop the search right here. One would be hard pressed to find a worse candidate (or for our purposes, a better one) than Chris Young. His season began with [...]
With yesterday marking the first playoff game of the 2014 season and today being the first day of October, it is another year without the Mets being post-season bound. It felt just a little bit different this year for those that followed the team for 162 games. There was a buzz around this team that [...]

With another season of Mets baseball now in the books, the time of the year for reflections on the season that was has began. The team’s 79-83 record, though disappointing, has to be seen as a step forward toward contention, especially when considering the lack of contributions the team saw from David Wright and Matt [...]
Sandy Alderson took over for Omar Minaya as General Manager in October of 2010. Under Alderson the Mets have yet to go over .500, but he has done well to rebuild the Mets Farm system through the draft and through trades. His most notable trades were trading away RA Dickey and Carlos Beltran. One of [...]
End of the Season Awards Team MVP: 1. Juan Lagares: With a 3.8 WAR, Lagares led the Mets in WAR, while his .281 average was second among starters. In a stadium like Citi Field, defense cannot go overlooked, and with Lagares in center field, the Mets’ pitching staff was saved more times than not. Mets [...]
