The Mets are in a playoff run with the Atlanta Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks this Spring and that was probably more than I would have hoped for seeing that our Ace would only pitch in one game for the team. The Mets are still very much relevant and a lot of that credit goes to [...]
The trade deadline has come and went and the Mets weren’t major buyers or sellers though they did part with a solid pitching prospect in Tyler Stuart their other losses should have little impact on the future team. We now pause to look at the players the Mets have in the farm to determine if [...]
People love lists, especially ranked lists. And it’s easy to understand why, as these lists help bring order to things. But some things lend themselves quite well to lists – like, say, who has the most home runs or strikeouts. And some things simply don’t. It’s my opinion that top prospect lists are like that. [...]
The Mets came away from the 2024 draft with Carson Benge OF/RHP, Jonathan Santucci LHP, Nate Dohm RHP, Eli Serrano III OF, Trey Snyder SS/3B, Corey Collins 1B and others. The team didn’t have the greatest assortment of picks coming into the draft thanks to their bloated payroll but ultimately came away with a few [...]
The Mets are weighing the options of being buyers or sellers in 2024 and their post Grimace resurgence has them confused if they should be one or the other. More than likely the Mets will wind up toeing a middle road where they do neither and that leads us to the question of who or [...]
The MLB Draft is less than a month away and it’s time for me to highlight some of the players that the Mets might be looking at with their assorted picks. As with previous years I am going to provide the player ranked at the pick, a player the Mets may hope falls to them [...]
At the Major League level, the Mets have Francisco Alvarez nearing his return to the team. Alvarez had an impressive rookie campaign with the Mets in which he showed a ton of power. He’s also shown a tremendous ability to work with pitchers and a “surprising” (not truly but the media wanted you to believe [...]
David Groveman joins me to discuss various minor league prospects for the Mets. Brian: Here are two 19-year-old shortstops in Lo-A for your consideration: Player A: .266/.345/.404, .329 BABIP, 10.4 BB%, 23.3 K%, .348 wOBA, 105 wRC+ Player B: .267/.332/.441, .294 BABIP, 6,7 BB%, 16.1 K%, .365 wOBA, 122 wRC+ They’re fairly similar but my [...]
At the end of April, we looked at a baker’s dozen worth of starting pitchers in the Mets’ farm system. Let’s check in on an equal number here near the end of May, if not the same 13 pitchers as last month. We have the promotion of Christian Scott and a couple of others who [...]
This season has not gone well for the Mets and while it wasn’t supposed to be a banner year the Mets look like they might once again find themselves as sellers at the trade deadline. Last year when the Mets were in a similar position, names like Drew Gilbert, Luisangel Acuna and Ryan Clifford stole [...]
On Monday morning, the Mets announced the promotion of two-way player Nolan McLean to Double-A Binghamton after a strong start to the season with the Brooklyn Cyclones. Rated as the No. 11 prospect in the Mets system by Baseball America, McLean was the Mets 3rd round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft out of Oklahoma [...]
The Mets have a number of players in the minors right now who are playing well but their names are not the ones we were quite expecting. Jett Williams and Drew Gilbert were both Top 5 prospects and they are both injured, Luisangel Acuna and Kevin Parada are underwhelming and Ryan Clifford’s biggest asset right [...]
