Come enjoy the 8-figure paycheck, the company car, the groupies and all of the fame that comes along with being an internet blogger!
By now everyone knows who these two players are. They represent both the highest rated prospect in the Mets system and one that looks to be a key part of the future success of the Mets. With prospects though, nothing is guaranteed, but how close these two are to the major leagues and their anticipated [...]
Much like a year ago, the 2015 Hall of Fame ballot is stuffed with worthy candidates. Last year, there were 22 players who deserve to have their credentials seriously discussed. Of those, three of them got in and two fell off the ballot. That leaves us with 17 holdovers and another impressive class of newcomers. [...]
It's a new year and a renewed hope in the New York Mets organization for 2015. Gone is the mentality that this team is "building for the future". The future is now. In 2014, the team was considered up and coming and finished in second place. This year, they will take no one by surprise. [...]
Here we are on the last day of December. Everyone is filled with happy thoughts about the promise of a new year. Throw out the old and welcome the new. It’s the way it’s always been. My belief is we should always welcome the new. Yet at the same time we should always celebrate that [...]
In what has been a busy offseason, many teams have improved themselves for 2015, and almost every team feels that they have a chance to make the playoffs. Some teams have made minor improvements (i.e. the Seattle Mariners, New York Mets, and Toronto Blue Jays), and some have made major improvements (i.e. the San Diego [...]
Recently, there was a report by Joel Sherman of the New York Post in which he had previously interviewed six MLB executives and one scout. One of his questions to the group was comparing the Mets and the Marlins: which of the two teams were more prepared for the upcoming season. The outcome was four [...]
Will Wilmer Flores see polar opposites in his defensive numbers from UZR and DRS in 2015?
The Top 4 prospects in the Mets farm system represents the immediate future of the New York call-ups. But it is far from definite that all these guys will be wearing a Mets uniform in the future. Some might get traded to upgrade the big squad, but who exactly might leave is anyone’s guess at [...]
Had the Mets not signed Michael Cuddyer or any other player that would cost them a draft pick in the draft in June, then they would have the 15th pick. From 2000 to 2009 every player that has been drafted 15th overall has made it to the major leagues. Some have performed better than others, [...]
A pleasant good Monday to you, the last one in 2014. Here's some news and notes to get your abridged workweek started. A picture went viral on Twitter showing that Las Vegas has the Mets at 12:1 odds to win the World Series in 2015. On one hand, those odds are probably skewed low by [...]
In 2012, the Mets called up 23-year old Matt Harvey, who seemed to take the league my storm. Likewise, in 2013, 23-year old Zack Wheeler was called up to the big leagues and performed fairly well. These two call-ups gave fans faith that this team had strong starting pitching coming up through the pipelines. Even [...]
