Cory Vaughn: I still like Cory Vaughn and his big-power bat but the son of Greg Vaughn has a lot of growing to do in AA this year to get into the picture as a true prospect again. He’ll be 24 in May and while that is a good pace for him to be in [...]

Issues and surprises have been covered ad nauseum. We fans can get excited about the springs of Jonathon Niese, Matt Harvey and Ike Davis. We [...]

After going 0-3 in the Mets’ 6-2 exhibition win over the Houston Astros on Wednesday night, Ruben Tejada is now batting .080 in Spring Training while also struggling to make consistent contact. At what first was a promising start when he hit a home run off the Nationals’ ace Stephen Strasburg in early preseason action, [...]

When the Mets traded for Collin Cowgill it seemed to be a nice stroke by Sandy Alderson, as it gave Terry Collins a player to platoon in center field with Kirk Nieuwenhuis. Cowgill had a .784 OPS against LHP while Nieuwenhuis had a .740 OPS versus RHP. While it wasn’t going to make fans forget [...]

2007 BOWMAN'S BEST DAVID WRIGHT O Captain, my Captain... OK, OK, I'll get off the top of my desk for a minute to talk about our Mr. Wright. The New York sports media do not occur naturally where I live, nor do I seek them out actively on my own. So while I imagine that [...]

Ever since the inception of movie making and the introduction of Hollywood into mainstream society, people have tried to figure out a solid plot to make into a movie. It is a very common occurrence when sports and movies collide. Since the beginning of film making, sports has been a mainstay in their genre. With [...]
Jacob DeGrom: I heard a few times that deGrom came out of “No Where” but that isn’t entirely true. He was the Met’s 2010 9th round pick (hardly a top slot, but hardly the dregs) and the reason we forgot about him was that he was injured. He rebounded from Tommy John surgery with a [...]
