Is Johan Santana Still on This Team?
Posted on 13 Sep 2011 by Jim Mancari.
In winter 2008, the Mets paid a hefty price to acquire Johan Santana from the Minnesota Twins. Four good-looking prospects and a six-year, $137.5 million contract is what it took for the Mets to secure their new ace. As of now, the trade, at least based on the prospects, looks like a steal for the Mets. Philip Humber, Carlos Gomez and Kevin Mulvey are no longer with the Twins, while Deolis Guer...

Mets Call-Up Three
Posted on 6 Sep 2011 by Jim Mancari.
The Mets have called up three prospects from the Buffalo Bisons to round out their list of September call-ups. The Bisons season ended Monday, so these players will finish the year with the big club. Josh Stinson, Miguel Batista, Daniel Herrera and Josh Satin already are with the team, so the Mets should have a crowded the bench the rest of the way. To be eligible for a call-up, a player has to...

Daniel Murphy to the Outfield?
Posted on 10 Aug 2011 by Jim Mancari.
In lieu of Daniel Murphy’s second injury at second base in less than a year and half, Mets GM Sandy Alderson addressed the media about a possible position change for Murph. Alderson realizes Murphy’s hitting potential—as evidenced by his .320 batting average, which ranks him fifth in NL—and said that the team would like to find a spot for him in the batting order everyday. However, not ...

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...

Should Mets Re-Sign Carlos Beltran This Offseason if Possible?
Posted on 25 Jul 2011 by Jim Mancari.
With all the hype this week surrounding Carlos Beltran and the trade deadline, I felt it necessary to throw in my two cents. Most likely, before the week is through, Beltran will be playing for another team. I’m normally optimistic about matters concerning the Mets, but I’m definitely realistic when it comes to this impending trade. Carlos Beltran will no longer be a Met when this week is t...

Mets Have Some Risky Rental Players
Posted on 12 Jul 2011 by Jim Mancari.
With the trade deadline fast approaching, the Mets still appear uncertain about whether they’ll be buyers or sellers. Eventually, they’ll have to make a decision, and if they wind up being sellers, they possess several risky trade targets—possibly too risky to be thought of as rental players. The first of course is Jose Reyes. Though Sandy Alderson has claimed it’s unlikely that the Met...

Was Dillon Gee an All-Star Snub?
Posted on 5 Jul 2011 by Jim Mancari.
This weekend, the rosters for the 82nd annual MLB All-Star Game were announced. As we all know, Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran will be representing the Mets in this year’s game—played next Tuesday night at Chase Field in Arizona. However, the lingering question is should Reyes and Beltran be joined by one of their teammates: Dillon Gee? Despite his great start to this season, the answer to t...

Frank Catalanotto Adjusting To Life After Baseball
Posted on 20 Jun 2011 by Jim Mancari.
Former New York Met Frank Catalanotto is a busy man these days. Whether he’s attending one of his four daughters’ sporting events or speaking to local little leagues, the Smithtown, Long Island native has been adjusting to life after his playing career. Though he was a Yankee fan growing up, Catalanotto thoroughly enjoyed his time last season with the Mets. He just wishes it could’ve last...

Brooklyn Cyclones Season Preview
Posted on 15 Jun 2011 by Jim Mancari.
While the big club has played good baseball over the past few weeks, New York Mets Single-A short season affiliate, the Brooklyn Cyclones, open their season this Friday night on the road against the Staten Island Yankees. The borough of Brooklyn is preparing for another exciting summer of baseball, especially after the Cyclones came up one game short last season for the New York-Penn League Cha...

Mets Earn Series-Opening Win against Braves
Posted on 14 Jun 2011 by Jim Mancari.
The New York Mets hung on late for a rare road win at Turner Field against the Atlanta Braves, 4-3, to take the opening game of this three-game midweek series. The Mets are back to a game under .500 as they continue their string of strong starting pitching performances. Jonathan Niese was quite good, allowing just two runs on five hits—only one of which was an extra-base hit—in 6.1 innings ...

What Happens When Injured Players Return?
Posted on 25 May 2011 by Jim Mancari.
Though setbacks have delayed their return to action, Angel Pagan, David Wright and Ike Davis will eventually be healthy enough to play. In fact, Pagan is expected back in the lineup this Friday. While last night’s game was a poor indicator, the Mets have actually played some good baseball without three of their regulars players. Some young guys have stepped up when needed, especially Justi...

Mets Need to Bounce Back from Tough Losses
Posted on 17 May 2011 by Jim Mancari.
I am happier than anyone with how the Mets have been playing lately. The team is getting offensive production from unlikely sources, the bullpen has been miraculous and Mike Pelfrey seems to be getting back on track. However, all of a sudden, shades of the 2009 injury plague have crept back to the team. David Wright and Ike Davis are out, forcing the team to reach into its minor league syst...
