Team Source: Recently Signed Carrasco Could Join Rotation

According to a team source who spoke to Andy Martino of the Daily News, recently acquired D.J. Carrasco could possibly fill one of the spots on the 2011 rotation. In an offseason dedicated to finding creative solutions to their dearth of pitching, the Mets might already have signed free-agent rotation help: D.J. Carrasco, who the Mets have not ruled out as a back-end starter, according to one team official. “There are no definites,” with regard [...]

Jenrry Mejia Tops BP’s Top 11 Mets Prospects

Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus selected his Mets Top 11 Prospects and leading the pack is Jenrry Mejia. Here is what he had to say about his top three selections. 1. Jenrry Mejia, RHP Year in Review: A power right-hander, Mejia surprised many by making the big-league bullpen out of spring training, but returned to the minors to be developed as a starter in the second half following a bout of shoulder soreness. The Good: [...]

We Coulda Been A Contender…

Stephen J. Dubner of the NY Times interviewed J.C. Bradbury of Sabernomics.com about his new book Hot Stove Economics. Among a variety of interesting questions this one came up about the Mets:  The Mets’ poor performance each of the past few years can’t be blamed on a low payroll, as they are almost always at the top of the list in terms of team payroll. They have to be at the top of your list of the most [...]

From Left Field: Time Is Ticking, But Is It A Concern?

Yesterday, I heard that the Mets would not make any moves until sometime into January. Sandy Alderson and company have decided to wait out the market rather than throwing their money at uncertainty. Surprisingly, several good starting pitchers are still available, yet teams appear reluctant to pull the trigger. I figured that once Cliff Lee signed, the other starters would fall like dominoes since teams in need for starting pitchers would not want to be [...]

The Offseason The Earth Stood Still

Yes, it certainly feels that way for Mets fans especially for those among us who don’t have the stomach for patience. We’ve managed to add a capable backup catcher in Ronny Paulino and a reliable bullpen arm in Carrasco, but those names are hardly crowd pleasers for many Mets fans anxious to rid themselves of the bitter taste in their mouths still lingering from last season. We keep hearing that one among these four will most likely be [...]

Will Duda Be On Mets Bench? Will Alderson Stick To His Guns On Reyes?

Adam Rubin of ESPN New York held a Mets chat yesterday afternoon, and he tackled some good questions from those who participated. I found these two to be of interest. MetsFan73 – Hi Adam, thanks for taking our questions. My biggest concern that this will be Jose Reyes’ last season in a Mets uniform. From your dealings and insight, so you think there is any chance of him being on this team in 2012 and further? Adam - [...]

Fun Facts For A Slow News Day

Well, some of the facts may not be “fun” for Mets fans, but the April 17th Mets/Cards 20-inning game made some wierd history. Jayson Stark writes a column for espn.com with a “Strange But True” theme every so often, and his year-end article featured the early-season marathon. Here’s some of his findings: Stranguest But Truest Game Of The Year Yeah, there were many, many insane baseball games in 2010. But for seven mind-boggling hours of pure, cue-the-Twilight-Zone-theme-music [...]

Here Comes The New York Media Lovefest

I’m sure Sandy Alderson and his revamped front office understand the reception they might be in store for by their patient approach to restoring the Mets to a team that can have some sustained success. David Letterman may have fired the first volley in what is sure to be an interesting media overreaction to the Mets plight as the new season begins to unfold.

Off The Reservation For Today

I hope that Joe D. will forgive me this post, but I’d like to put in a few words about some local athletes who are tearing up the record books by playing their game very well. I’m speaking as someone who spent her freshman year at UCONN idolizing the men’s basketball team and interning on their radio station WHUS “The Husky Network” as a sports writer. Yes, I’m talking about the UCONN women’s basketball team [...]
