It was fun watching Bartolo Colon on Wednesday afternoon. And no, I'm not talking about him legging out a double and scoring from second base moments later when Eric Young Jr. knocked him in with his own double. Ok, maybe I am. After all, Colon is fun to watch run the bases. No, Wednesday was [...]
Eric Campbell deserves to be playing more. Actually, Eric Campbell deserves to be starting. It’s obvious that the Mets are having struggles offensively. Bobby Abreu, Chris Young, Eric Young Jr. and Curtis Granderson make up the four potential outfielders on a daily basis. Campbell hit .326 with a .437 OBP in two seasons at AAA [...]
By now you've heard that Travis d'Arnaud has been tearing it up in Las Vegas since his demotion. His line in nine games is rather impressive: .395/.452/.868 with five home runs. The chatter has already begun as to whether or not the Mets should recall d'Arnaud and place him back in the lineup, as it [...]
In February, there was a list made that stated the starting point and projected finishing point for the usual suspects on the top 14 prospects.

For just the fourth time in 16 outings this year for the Mets, Josh Edgin pitched a full inning last night. All it took for that to happen was for the bullpen to have to contribute 15.2 innings over the past three games. It’s worth noting that Edgin retired all three batters he faced. In [...]
Met fans had been excited to see Travis d’Arnaud since R.A. Dickey (then the reigning Cy Young winner) was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. It was expected that the Mets gave the keys to the starting catching position over and wished him well. After a few short months it was clear to most people [...]
