Grant Bisbee of SB Nation took a look earlier this week at three of the forgotten names in the free agent market: Asdrubal Cabrera, Stephen Drew and Colby Rasmus. While Rasmus, a lefty-hitting outfielder with good pop and not much else, doesn’t really serve as a fit on the 2015 Mets, Cabrera and Drew, both [...]
Like many, MetsBlog is a regular stop for me. Matt Cerrone has been very good to us here at Mets360. He was a guest on our podcast – back when we did them – and while MetsBlog doesn’t link to as many sites as it once did, we still get a few links, for which [...]
Now we’re really getting to it as we are about to start to move into the top five players in the Mets system. In case you missed any of the other posts on our countdown thus far, please check them out at: 50-48, 47-45, 44-42, 41-39, 38-36, 35-33, 32-30, 29-27, 26-24, 23-21, 20-18, 17-15, 14-11, [...]
This Christmas morning millions of children will jump out of bed and run to open their presents. Some presents will exceed their expectations while others will be tossed to the side with half-hearted 'thank you' attached. We all remember those presents; a pack of socks or underwear or, even worse, a fruitcake. What if we, [...]
Six weeks ago, the “Which Mets Season Was the Best” bracket began, and John Olerud’s 1998 season came out victorious over Jose Reyes’ 2011 season. The very next week, Dwight Gooden’s 1985 season beat out Jesse Orosco’s 1983 season. Last week, Gooden beat out Tom Seaver’s 1969 season by 21 votes. That being said, it [...]
As we get closer to completing the Mets360 Top 50 Prospect list, some more familiar names are starting to show up. Some players in the Top 10 might appear in a Mets uniform sometime this year or next if all works out. Others still have some work to do. As do we, so let’s get [...]
The Mets are on the verge of contention, and with the mix of veterans and youth on the 40-man roster there could be some playoff baseball in Queens 2015. However, we are not here to discuss 2015-but the future of Queens. Criticism aside, Sandy Alderson has formed an extremely balanced farm system by acquiring players [...]
They say that timing is everything. Last year, the Mets averaged 3.88 runs per game but not every starter received the same level of support. But what if they did? How would things look if each starter received the same run support, at the same time, for each game? Let’s examine if they did, with [...]
1971 TOPPS JOE NAMATH This is an old tale and even a happy one. Set the way back machine to Christmas 1971. I shared a room with my brother Gary. We got up early for Christmas, as every good American child has done for ages. Meanwhile, my parents stayed up to all hours of the [...]
Now we’re at it, the top 10 prospects in the Mets system. In case you missed any of the other installments, please take a look at them at: 50-48, 47-45, 44-42, 41-39, 38-36, 35-33, 32-30, 29-27, 26-24, 23-21, 20-18, 17-15 and 14-11. Next up is: 10 – Marcos Molina Molina was signed as a 17 [...]
As of right now it looks like Sandy Alderson is going to hold onto Daniel Murphy until at least the trading deadline. Murphy would likely not be in a deal for major league ready players, but more likely minor league pitchers. A good comparison would be the Mets pitchers Michael Fulmer and Gabriel Ynoa and [...]
Here's some news and notes you may have missed this weekend. Dwight Gooden wrote an introspective letter to himself for Derek Jeter's website, The Player's Tribune. It's a nice short read and the advice he gives to his younger self is something that is probably good for all of us to be reminded of from [...]
