Even with an overhaul of the front office, and a new manager, the team already is displaying the same indecision and chain-of-command issues that plagued [...]

All of these will be filled with those players already in camp. RIGHT FIELD Carlos Beltran has been cleared to resume baseball activities, but probably won’t play until next week, which would leave a week of games until Opening Day. However, with [...]

Who’s ready for another chapter in the Oliver Perez saga? According to Andy Martino of the Daily News, the Mets are falling all over themselves over Ollie’s relief stint this weekend in which he pitched to one batter and retired him on seven pitches.

Mike Diaz who contributes to Mets Minor League Blog is at Port St. Lucie and is providing some great feedback from Mets camp. Regarding Mets 2011 Top Draft Pick Matt Harvey, Mike writes: Matt Harvey showed why the Mets selected him in the first round. His fastball sat comfortably at 93-95mph with life in the zone.

About six weeks ago, Ian Begley wrote this, quoting Fred Wilpon as saying he personally wishes Minaya return to the organization in an advisory or scouting role, possibly in the international department. But that was six weeks ago. Has anyone heard anything new? Wilpon echoes my sentiments, [...]

Regardless of what you believe I can respect him for sticking to his story which may not be as far fetched as some would think.
