Depth… Depth… Depth… How deep are the Mets? It’s a thought that sometimes falls through the cracks. The Mets received some great news about Reyes’ and his thyroid issues so he should be getting back to baseball very soon once he’s in baseball shape. This situation, although disaster was averted, opened the door to many questions about what would happen if guys like Reyes, Wright, and even Johan were injured for an undetermined period. Do we have the protection and [...]

We now return you to ‘As The World Turns‘… That should be what each return from a commercial on SNY and WPIX says this exhibition season… I am becoming more concerned as the Mets continue to have more questions than answers each day spring training continues. What drama… We should be getting closer to making cuts. Instead the questions are becoming more pronounced each day. At first base, if Daniel Murphy is starting, he’d better abandoned that more upright [...]

First base prospect Ike Davis has been sent to minor-league camp, according to David Lennon of Newsday via  Twitter. Ike Davis headed down today. No Opening Day for him. Davis ends a solid spring debut with a .480 batting average, three home runs and ten RBI’s in 25 at-bats. He made quite an impression on the Mets staff, his teammates and of course the fans with his no-nonsense demeanor, heady play, and flashes of his enormous [...]

Mets fans are not happy right now.  There are so many question marks.  No one can even agree on who deserves to go north at the end of spring training. As far as uncertainty goes, the starting pitching is the most suspect.  The performance of the Mets #2, #3, and #4 starters are not exactly helping raise fan confidence levels.  Pelfrey, Perez, and Maine have each been less than stellar.  Even Johan Santana has been [...]

This Spring we’ve gotten to look at some of our young prospects and they have impressed fans, the media and the team.  The reports that the farm system was dead have been greatly exaggerated it seems.  Fernando Martinez, Ike Davis, Jon Niese and Jenrry Mejia are having great springs, so of course there has been plenty of talk about them joining the big team once camp breaks.  Coming into Spring Training, the fifth sport in the [...]

Mike Pelfrey had another rough outing today as the Washington Nationals beat the Mets 7-5. Pelfrey allowed four home runs giving up two homers each to Ryan Zimmerman and Josh Willingham. Zimmerman hit a booming solo shot in the first and a two-run shot in the fifth, while Willingham had a solo shot in the second and a two-run homer in the fourth. Pelfrey has now allowed 22 hits and 12 earned runs in 14.2 innings pitched, [...]

As the Mets round the final turn and race down the stretch and toward the finish line, let’s take a look at which players will be standing in the winners circle come April 3rd. Remember, many leads are always lost as the pack tightens up near the finish line, but here’s how I see it now. The Hitters 80:1 – Ike Davis is still a long shot despite the solid spring. 75:1 – Chris Coste will [...]
