The Mets have hopefully seen the last of Daniel Murphy and Lucas Duda in the outfield of Citi Field. The Mets have hopefully seen the last of the defensively challenged outfields that cost them more runs than their bats generate. The Mets currently have one of the best defensive outfields in recent memory. Eric Young [...]
In a season in which has been defined by injuries, nonperformance and general malaise, Daniel Murphy has been a constant the Mets can count on each and every day, but will that be enough for him to welcomed back in 2014?
It’s been a streaky year at the plate for Daniel Murphy and right now the Mets’ second baseman is in the midst of a hot streak. He’s currently riding a nine-game hitting streak and has put up a .459/.462/.676 line in his last 39 PA. However, the hot streak illustrates one of the frustrating things [...]
The Mets come into Cleveland tonight for a three game series against the Indians beginning with an interesting pitching matchup to kick things off. 23-year-old Zach Wheeler of the Mets faces 29-year-old Scott Kazmir in a duel of present and former top pitching prospects. Wheeler -- called up in June -- is showing fans the [...]
The common perception is that the Mets have many promising pitchers, both in the majors and in the pipeline in the minors. Let’s assume average health and average results in turning promising pitchers into major league regulars. The staff in Queens one day could be: Harvey, Niese, Wheeler, Gee and Syndergaard. It seems most people [...]
One man’s pain is another man’s game. With Ike Davis likely being shelved for the rest of the year with an oblique strain, it now opens the door for Lucas Duda to reassert himself with the Mets. For those rallying around Duda to get his chance at first base—his “comfortable” position—you all got your wish. [...]
It seems a bit far-fetched to view Elvis Andrus as a trade target, but he fills a pressing need at shortstop and is a young under-control player for the future. Sandy Alderson went on WFAN and talked to Mike Francesa yesterday and mentioned that it was like “pulling teeth” to get Ruben Tejada to do [...]
Sandy Alderson recently spoke about the plans for 2014 on WFAN. He mentioned that the injury to Matt Harvey completely changes the off season plans, no surprise there. He also said that we shouldn't be surprised if he plucks a name out of the Free Agent pool of pitchers in the coming months. Adam Rubin [...]
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 [...]
There have been 16 hitters play for both Las Vegas and New York this season. Here are the stats for the group at both levels.
@AdamRubinESPN Wheeler is another OVERRATED Met prospect — Chris #KNICKSTAPE (@ChrisNYG) July 25, 2013 Maybe Zack Wheeler is the next Mike Pelfrey... #EW — Francisco Sarceño (@Frank_Guate) July 6, 2013 Putting this on the record in the Twitterverse, Zack Wheeler will be Mets' Phil Hughes. Lots of hype/potential but won't live up to it [...]
Dice-K turns in his third straight clunker, once again burning out the bullpen and annoying the fans.
