Mets look to shake off the cold memories of Minnesota and Colorado with a matchup of two young flamethrowers. First pitch slated for 7:10. [chat id="51" ]
The Mets’ top catching prospect according to Baseball Prospectus - and the centerpiece of last winter’s big trade with Toronto that sent R.A. Dickey packing - Travis d’Arnaud will probably never win the lottery or cash in at the race track. He has terrible luck, which has once again put him on the shelf. Last [...]
Matt Harvey versus Stephen Strasburg – the pitching matchup of the year so far. I can’t wait to see it! Unfortunately, I’m going to have to wait to see it because I’m an mlb.tv user and for reasons known only to themselves, they’ve determined that I reside in Orioles/Nationals territory and games involving those teams [...]
Vicente Lupo: I don’t like putting a prospect so far down in the pipeline so high on my list but… I’m gonna do it anyway. For some pundits Lupo, who hasn’t played above the DSL, doesn’t make the Top 40 prospects and I have him in the top 10. Are they over-cautious? Am I over [...]

They had an idea of starting a new team in the fledgling National Football League. When Mara inquired as to the amount of his [...]
While we were worried about his hitting in Spring Training, the last thing we thought we’d have to worry about from Ruben Tejada was his defense. Well, after an abysmal start defensively, Tejada (six errors thus far) is causing a lot of headaches for a Mets’ team with little margin for error. Tejada has been [...]
By UZR, the three worst full-time second basemen in MLB in 2012 were Daniel Murphy, Jose Altuve and Rickie Weeks. Flash forward to the early going in 2013 and we see that once again, Weeks is the worst defensive player. He already has a (-3.0) UZR, which translates to a (-44.5) UZR/150, meaning he would [...]
1992 TOPPS MAGAZINE HOWARD JOHNSON Back in the early '90s, Topps took the booming baseball-card market as their cue to develop a slick full-color magazine. They named the publication “Topps Magazine”-- no doubt after months of intense and costly market research... The editorial lineup was a medley of Topps history, baseball lore, current/past player profiles, [...]
After 10 games this season, Ike Davis has a .128/.244/.205 slash line. Those who want to focus on the positive will point out that he’s doing an excellent job with a 13.3 BB/9 and how nobody can look good when they possess a .154 BABIP, which will certainly go up in the weeks and months [...]
