Pagan May Be a Non-Tender Candidate
Posted on 26 Jul 2011 by Jim Mancari.
So with Carlos Beltran likely calling somewhere else home within a few days, the Mets must look to fill a hole in right field long-term. Lucas Duda will likely get the bulk of the playing time, but he’s really a first baseman. Imagine Duda having to deal with the Mo’s Zone for an entire season? Today, reports surfaced that Angel Pagan, who has missed the last two games due to dizziness, cou...

Not the Injury Bug Again
Posted on 5 May 2011 by Jim Mancari.
Shades of the 2009 Mets are already apparent here this season. Though that team was more talented on paper, it was ravaged by the injury bug which gave Jerry Manuel very little to work with on a day-to-day basis. Well, it seems that injuries already have played a role this season. Last year's breakout player, Angel Pagan, is on the disabled list, though he will hopefully return shortly. The M...

What Carlos Beltran’s Move to Right Field Means for Mets
Posted on 28 Feb 2011 by Jim Mancari.

Beltran is 33 years old and entering the final year of his contract. Though it’s unlikely he will be a New ...

Can Fred Lewis Fill the Void of Fourth Outfielder for the Mets?
Posted on 8 Jan 2011 by Jim Mancari.
So the Mets just signed Chris Capuano and Taylor Bucholz to add some more depth to the pitching rotation. Both of these are solid signings and may pay off in big ways. Capuano is only a few years removed from an 18-win season, and Bucholz has shown he can be a valuable seventh or even eighth inning reliever. For the most part, barring a rumored Chris Young or Jeff Francis signing for furthe...

Citi Field is Built for Team Baseball
Posted on 2 Jun 2009 by Mark Reichman.
My first trip to Citi on Sunday and it was an amazing game and experience, in large part due to the dimensions of the new park. Doubles off the immense stretch of high wall between left and center. One of the new features you can expect to see often in Flushing moving forward. Dan Uggla, in the second inning, hit what I thought would have been a homer in most parks, even Fenway, where it wo...
