Don't look now but it appears that Zack Wheeler is starting to nicely round into shape. After a rocky start with some fans and media losing confidence in him, Wheeler has quieted some of his critics of late. Although he only has two wins (2-5) on the year, Wheeler is putting up quality outing after [...]
After being shut out for the second time in three days to the Washington Nationals (and only registering 13 hits in the three games against them thus far), the Mets are limping—all bandaged and wounded—to the finish line. The spirit has been sapped out of this club, and a team could only take so much [...]
On Friday night in Milwaukee, Zack Wheeler made his fourth career start for the Mets. While it wasn’t a thing of beauty, Wheeler did collect his second win on the year nonetheless. Wheeler pitched the minimum five innings to qualify for the win. In those five innings, Wheeler gave up seven hits and three walks [...]
With Zack Wheeler’s eventual call up to Queens to come in the next week or two, Dillon Gee and Jeremy Hefner are doing their best to not lose their spot in the rotation. Simply put, they are not going down without a fight. While the club and Terry Collins are trying to downplay the addition [...]
You almost have to feel bad for the Mets’ pitchers who have to follow Matt Harvey these days. With the legend of Harvey nearly growing to ‘perfect’ proportions, the rest of the staff (sans Jonathon Niese) have to be suffering from an inferiority complex. So far on the season, Shaun Marcum, Dillon Gee and Jeremy [...]
The Mets’ blogosphere blew up on Thursday after the Daily News’ Andy Martino reported that the Mets were very intrigued at the prospects of trading for the Marlins’ power-hitting dynamo Giancarlo Stanton. Why not, the Marlins have almost traded their entire roster in the last year; why not try to pry away the most coveted [...]
Zack Wheeler came to the Mets as a top prospect who seemed to have a few issues. Namely, control. Back in the CAL when he was with San Francisco’s A+ affiliate, he was walking half as many batters as he struck out. Which isn’t good when you strike out as many as he did. Averaging [...]
The regular season for Mets minor leaguers ended on Labor Day and the Class A St. Lucie Mets were eliminated in the championship series of the Florida State League playoffs and Savannah is one win away from a low Class A title in the South Atlantic League. With the offseason quickly approaching, now is a [...]
Don’t look yet, but Reese Havens may finally be back. The 22nd overall pick in the 2008 draft is in the midst of his best stretch in nearly two seasons, highlighted by a pinch-hit, 12th-inning walkoff homer Saturday for the Binghamton Mets against Altoona. Coincidentally, Havens was playing next to rehabbing shortstop Jose Reyes, perhaps [...]
What if you heard the New York Mets had acquired a Class A pitcher with a 2-5 record and a 5.92 ERA from the San Francisco Giants for Carlos Beltran? Would you still agree with most of the pundits out there that said the Mets made out very good in the trade? Or would you [...]
Here at Mets360 we were all huge fans of Carlos Beltran and we thought he deserved a special send off. I asked everyone to chime in with their thoughts and here's what he meant to us. Charlie Hangley - Meet the (new) Mets, meet the (new) Mets… That’s what I was singing in December 2004, [...]
After weeks of speculation, the Mets finally pulled the trigger and traded Carlos Beltran to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for pitching prospect Zack Wheeler. (This, of course, is contingent on the legalities of the deal which should become final by Thursday afternoon.) While we wax nostalgic of the memories Beltran’s made in Queens, [...]
