Mets’ outfield has just as much power as Yankees’ does

There have been loud rumblings regarding the neighbors of the Mets that reside in the Bronx. Their prospects are among the best, Severino is an ace, and of course they have all of the power that you could ever ask for in a lineup between Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton. Of course, many [...]

A way to keep Brandon Nimmo in the lineup

One of the biggest questions this offseason by far has been the center field position for the Mets heading into Opening Day. With Michael Conforto sidelined with a shoulder injury to begin the season, the team was left with Juan Lagares and Brandon Nimmo as their options to play center field. Heading into spring training, [...]

Kevin Plawecki should be the Mets’ starting catcher

It was not long ago that Travis d’Arnaud was regarded as one of the top prospects that the Mets possessed. As an organization, the Mets had not seen a productive catcher since the likes of Paul Lo Duca sat behind home for the 2006 and 2007 seasons. Before even reaching the big leagues, d’Arnaud drew [...]

Yoenis Cespedes should keep his hat backwards

A recent article by Joel Sherman of the New York Post criticized the New York Mets organization for the way they let Yoenis Cespedes act around camp, and the way that the team handles media relations in general. As you can see, Sherman is not very fond of the fact that not only is Cespedes [...]

The Hansel Robles Clock is about to run out

I’ll be honest, I have always been a fervent supporter of Hansel Robles. I always appreciated his moxy, and his durable arm was always a plus. His quick pitch antics against the Phillies rubbed many the wrong way, including former Met Jeff Francouer. However, he has always showed flashes of potential power from the mound [...]

Looking back at the odd transactions of the 2015 season

2015 was the best season that the Mets have had in the 2010’s, by far. Highlighted by a World Series appearance, the Mets also took the division crown during a heated race with the rival Washington Nationals. A lot of wild things needed to happen that season for the Mets to get to the World [...]

Sandy Alderson is anything but trigger shy this offseason

You can call him thrifty. You can call him a bargain hunter. You can call him every mean name under the sun, if you choose to do so. But one thing you absolutely can’t call Sandy Alderson is trigger shy. Several times this offseason, Alderson has pulled the trigger on several free agent signings. Were [...]

What does Zack Wheeler bring to the table?

If that question had been asked on February 8th, the answer would be most likely a suitcase, a lawyer, and the potential to contribute to an elite Mets pitching staff. Of course on February 8th the table Zack Wheeler would have been coming to would be a negotiation table, sitting opposite if the New York [...]

Lance Lynn would add stability for the Mets’ rotation

Among Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, Matt Harvey, Steven Matz, and Zach Wheeler, there was a combined 477.1 innings pitched. The most disturbing part about that total is that 42.2% of those innings came from deGrom, who was the best pitcher in the rotation by leaps and bounds. The 2018 Mets flaunt those pitchers as their [...]

The Juan Lagares-Brandon Nimmo logjam

The corner outfielders are as set as cement right now for the New York Mets. In left, the Mets will be trotting out Yoenis Cespedes, who hopes to return from injury and be the prominent slugger that his reputation suggests that he is. In right field, the Mets brought back Jay Bruce. While Bruce doesn’t [...]
