Over the past three seasons, the Mets bullpen has the eighth highest ERA among Major League teams and forth among National League teams. The National League teams that have had a worse bullpen ERA, the Phillies, Rockies, and Cubs, all play in notorious hitters parks. Based on innings pitched per appearance by reliever the Mets [...]
Right now, MLB.com is in the middle of posting their top ten prospects at each position. So far five positions have been reviewed: right-handed pitcher, left-handed pitcher, catcher, first base, and second base. The Mets have a prospect on each of those lists and might have one on each list. The only position that the [...]
The Nationals just signed Max Scherzer to a huge contract that improves their rotation. Rumors are floating that Stephen Strasburg is on his way out, which is good news for Mets fans as he has dominated them for the past few seasons. The Mets have a lot of young pitching that could compete against the [...]
There were reports of the Mets almost acquiring the Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond, but at a hefty cost. He only has one year left on his contract before he hits free agency, which was probably one of the biggest factors in Alderson not going through with the trade. Desmond would be an upgrade over Wilmer [...]
The last time the Mets were in the playoffs the core players were the likes of Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado, and a young David Wright. Backed by a pitching contingency of Tom Glavine, Pedro Martinez, and Billy Wagner. The team that made it to the NLCS in 2006 is a very different team [...]
Had the Mets not signed Michael Cuddyer or any other player that would cost them a draft pick in the draft in June, then they would have the 15th pick. From 2000 to 2009 every player that has been drafted 15th overall has made it to the major leagues. Some have performed better than others, [...]
As of right now it looks like Sandy Alderson is going to hold onto Daniel Murphy until at least the trading deadline. Murphy would likely not be in a deal for major league ready players, but more likely minor league pitchers. A good comparison would be the Mets pitchers Michael Fulmer and Gabriel Ynoa and [...]
Many fans are clamoring for the Mets to improve at shortstop before going into the season . Collins said that Ruben Tejada is still a possibility to start at short in 2015, even though he has been given many chances and profiles nicely as a backup middle infielder. For most other options, the Mets would [...]
Ever since Jose Reyes left after the 2011 season, it has been a scramble for the Mets to find a successor for him at shortstop, but also at the top of the order. The Mets do not have a prototypical leadoff hitter slated for their lineup in 2015. Most teams would love to have a [...]
With the MLB Winter Meetings to start next Monday all the teams are checking the price tags of free agents and gauging interest on what is available in trade. Sandy Alderson has a few goals for the winter meetings that have been made apparent. He is looking to trade one of Dillon Gee, Jon Niese, [...]
As we all know the Mets did not trade Jose Reyes at the deadline in 2011 and then did not re-sign him after the season, when he jumped ship to Miami. The Mets did not end up empty handed, as they received a pick between the first and second rounds in the following year's draft. [...]
Rafael Montero signed very late compared to most players out of the Dominican Republic. Most kids sign around the age of 16 or 17, but Montero did not sign with the Mets until he was 20 years old. In his first year with the Mets organization he posted a 5-4 record to a tune of [...]
