Ike Davis has been one of the more inconsistent hitters in Mets history. At first he seemed to have a solid rookie year with tons of potential in 2010, he was on pace for a monster year in 2011 before a freak injury, in 2012 he had an atrocious first two-and-a-half months and a miraculous [...]
Every year teams scramble to find the best men for the bullpen and every year it is a gamble for most of the bullpen members. The Mets’ bullpen has had its shares of problems over the past few years (especially 2012) although in 2013 it wasn’t that bad. Regardless there will still be a search [...]
August 26th 2013 was a day that is unfortunately making every Met fan look forward to 2015. Now just hold on. Why are we putting off plans that were made when Zack Wheeler was dominating - that 2014 was the year to dominate? Did the Cardinals give up when Adam Wainwright went down, or years [...]
Two players that are big time free agents to come in during this offseason are Jacoby Ellsbury and Shin-Soo Choo. Both are very intriguing and an argument can be made for one or the other. Both are over 30, have had major injuries during their careers and have an extensive amount of experience in the [...]
Hustling for a double, going first to third, scoring from second on a single are all attributes of a hustling successful team but unfortunately it has become a lost art, not for the Mets. In 2012, the Mets were a complete station-to-station team physically unable to take the extra base and seemingly always getting called [...]
Ah, the one man that can actually turn a good day into a bad one with a homerun. At one point it seemed the perfect combination of Lenny Harris, Matt Stairs and Ed Kranepool had been formed on New York’s bench, but all good things come to an end and a foul ball to the [...]
Last week I wrote an article listing the starting shortstops of other organizations and the more I thought about it, Asdrubal Cabrera is actually a clean-cut perfect fit for the Mets to contend for a postseason spot next season. Cabrera, in 2011, was among the league leaders in almost every category for shortstops and was [...]
Whether Ruben Tejada fans like it or not, the man has played his way out of the starting role next season. There are few internal options but many external options that the Mets could explore. Here are the starting shortstops from each organization (FA= free agent after the season T= only eligible through trade NPA= [...]
Some may consider this article pointless due to the lack of value that Josh Thole has brought to the team with the exception of perhaps indirectly a Cy Young Award. However, in some ways, he did have a few great moments that will always hold a special place in many Mets fans’ hearts. My father, [...]
Justin Turner has been a fan favorite in Queens since his crazy 20 RBI in May of 2011, and it was never doubted he would make the opening day roster two years in a row. he has definitely shown that he isn’t exactly consistent when he plays every day, but he will get it done [...]
Eric Young has quickly developed himself as a fan favorite in New York and it has become clear that fans love a speedster on the bases, so why not the fastest baserunner on the planet? Billy Hamilton set a MLB record for most steals in a season with 155 in 2012 and has stolen over [...]
After hearing the worst news that the Mets fan base could hear twice in one month: David Wright and Matt Harvey have possible extended injuries, every Met fan was up in arms about how the future in queens would look next season. After losing five consecutive games, I started to wonder why I even bothered [...]
