The Mets rotation was supposed to be fronted by veterans Johan Santana and free agent addition Shaun Marcum to begin the season, but things are not going according to plan. Santana is done for the season and will likely never pitch a game again for the team and the Mets still don’t have an accurate [...]

In the early season, all of two games old, the Mets have had more than a few pleasant surprises. On Opening Day, there was Collin Cowgill and his home run hustle, there was Jonathon Niese acting like an ace, there was Scott Rice arriving – finally! – on a big league stage. In game two, [...]
While, of course, you should take this with a huge grain of salt, but so far the Mets are putting some fears to bed that they are some sort of power-sapped bunch. We've been led to believe that the only way for the Mets to be successful is to to manufacture runs. Of course the [...]

Gabriel Ynoa: Ynoa has been on the radar for a while. He pitched in the DSL back in 2010 and while he only had a 4.4 K/9 he managed a .982 WHIP and a 1.99 ERA. Last year in Brooklyn he led a squad of pitchers who used their exemplary control to dominate the league. [...]
1984 TOPPS TIFFANY DAVE JOHNSON I slept with this card under my pillow the other night, hoping thoughts of a successful season would seep into my brain osmotically. Of course, the cruel irony is that the mid-'80s Mets are alive and well and living not far from me in Washington, DC, with an older and [...]
The Mets ALWAYS win on Opening Day. It’s only April 1; you can’t tell anything from this. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. After a rousing opener like yesterday’s, these are the hoary bromides that Met fans have to repeat to themselves to keep from getting too giddy. And beyond being an annual cliché, they [...]
The New York Mets have been in existence for 51 years. Last season they celebrated their 50th season of playing professional baseball and the organization had the perfect opportunity to make a positive move toward the fanbase. In that season, they could have done so many different things. They chose to parade some names and [...]
Aderlin Rodriguez: Stats is a vacuum are misleading. At 20 years of age, hitting 24 HRs in 471 ABs between FSA (Full Season A) and A+ doesn’t sound that impressive. When you consider that 16 of those HRs came when playing for Savannah (who plays in a power sapping ballpark) or that he isn’t as [...]

When most of us think of Justin Turner, we think of the fun-loving guy who walks to the plate to the girly pop sounds of “Call Me Maybe” and who likes to deliver shaving cream pies to the faces of unsuspecting teammates when they are being interviewed on TV. But according to minor leaguers Zach [...]
