On Monday night at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, Allan Dykstra won the 2014 Pacific Coast League Home Run Derby. Ironically, Dykstra beat former Mets farmhand and teammate Francisco Pena to claim the belt. “My goal was to make sure I beat Frank,” jokes Dykstra about squaring off against his former teammate. “I have enough power to have fun in this kind of competition,”...

Mets prospects have put up some tremendous offensive numbers so far this season with a few standouts having the best starts of their minor league careers. Allan Dykstra, has been nothing short of amazing. He just continues to hit and produce and if Lucas Duda happens to falter at all, the Mets have to pull the trigger and give Dykstra his opportunity to shine on the big club. Only an injury...
Las Vegas 11, Tacoma 4 Rafael Montero pitched his way to victory despite a lackluster performance. The right-hander went six innings, allowed three runs on six hits and struck out three while walking two. Luckily he got plenty of support from the offense, led by Zach Lutz‘s pair of home runs. Lutz finished the game 3 for 3 with four runs scored, three RBI, and a walk to go along with those two...
Mets 3, Nationals 1 Jenrry Mejia, who is battling for that fifth spot in the rotation, tossed a gem today and was sharp, dominating and in mid-season form. However, these are the Mets and the best man doesn’t always win. The young righthander hurled 5.0 innings allowing just two hits and a run while striking out six batters. Mejia was bothered by a carbuncle bunion on his right foot during...
Allan Dykstra was drafted in the first round of the 2008 MLB Draft by the San Diego Padres. He played his college ball at Wake Forest University, and the Demon Deacon was considered one of the top power threats in college baseball at the time. Some considered Dykstra to be a better prospect than Ike Davis coming out of college, mainly because of his power and his ability to get on base. He was a...
“Who’s on first?” Those words have become more than just an Abbott & Costello skit for New York Mets fans this winter. Those words have been somewhat of a rallying cry. Trade Ike Davis…No, keep him…Lucas Duda gives us the best offensive production from first base…I like the idea of a Josh Satin platoon with Duda/Davis…Give Wilmer Flores a shot…...
