Handling David’s contract status the WRIGHT way.
Posted on 31 May 2012 by Jimmy Forgione.
He has played over 1,000 games for your franchise, all nine solid years of his career belong to your team, the fans love him, his teammates seem to love him, and the kid can flat-out rake. If you're Sandy Alderson why haven't you made a contract offer to David Wright yet? Up until last week he was hitting over .400, yes it's only May, but even where he stands now hitting .365 is still worth me...

Mets Have Short a Leash Early
Posted on 20 Apr 2011 by Jim Mancari.
Though the season is a little more than two weeks old, the New York Mets have already shown that they are not afraid to pull the trigger if a player is underperforming. The combination of Sandy Alderson and Terry Collins is attempting to light a fire under their players. Part of the way they’re going about this is by letting players know that if they don’t show up, they’ll be sent ou...

Mets “Odds and Ends” Take Opening Marlins Series
Posted on 5 Apr 2011 by Mark Reichman.
The Amazins clearly ain't gonna overwhelm you with talent this year, but opening the season in Miami they had the right spare pieces in place to take two of three. Brad Emaus platooning with Daniel Murphy at second, Willie Harris as a fourth outfielder, and the fluttering knuckleball of R.A. Dickey all proved to be effective “odds and ends” carrying the Mets. On a scorching hot (a...

New York Mets Season Preview
Posted on 28 Mar 2011 by Jim Mancari.
After an offseason clouded by financial issues, injuries and the debate over whether to release Luis Castillo and Oliver Perez, the New York Mets are finally ready for baseball this season. Expectations aren’t exactly high, especially since the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves appear ready to duke it out for bragging rights in the N.L. East. However, if a few things fall perfectly int...

Alderson Begins To Untangle Mets Mess
Posted on 21 Mar 2011 by Brandon Marcus.
Their owners are broke. In such despair they needed to borrow from the league. They may also need a substantial loan from the large banking institution whose name resides on their shiny young ballpark. They are looking for a minority owner to ease their burden, hoping to avoid being forced to relinquish control of the team. These are the front page stories for the Mets. Not the state of play ...

Daniel Murphy, Chin-lung Hu Best Options for Mets at 2B
Posted on 17 Mar 2011 by Jim Mancari.
Mets manager Terry Collins has said that he would like to get each of his potential second base candidates some more at-bats over the next few days as he starts to whittle down the playing field. Reports surfaced earlier this week that Collins wanted Luis Hernandez to be the Mets starter at second base. However, those reports were quickly shot down and might have only been done to light a f...

Terry Collins and the Moneyball Theory
Posted on 23 Feb 2011 by Jim Mancari.
On this date in 1934, the Brooklyn Dodgers signed Casey Stengel to a two-year deal to be their manager. Today, 77 years later, Terry Collins will look to the example set by Stengel in running a baseball team. Though they Mets were downright terrible during Stengel's tenure, the fire and energy he brought as the first Mets manager rang true with the players. Early reports have described Colli...

And Now We Wait
Posted on 15 Jan 2011 by Jim Mancari.
With the signing of Willie Harris to take over as the team's fourth outfielder and the high possibility of a Chris Young signing soon, it seems as though the Mets have addressed all of their needs heading into the season. Granted, there are still position battles to be won (second base, bullpen and bench spots) as well as a ton of question marks. Unless the Mets plan on adding another bullpe...

Time Is Ticking, But Is It a Concern?
Posted on 22 Dec 2010 by Jim Mancari.
Yesterday, the Mets announced they would not make any moves until 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. Conventional wisdom told us that once Cliff Lee signed, the other starters would fall like domin...

All Quiet on the “Metstern” Front
Posted on 21 Dec 2010 by Jim Mancari.
OK, so this title is a bit corny, but it certainly rings true for the Mets this offseason. Spring training is a little over 60 days away. It would seem the Mets still have much to do to gear up for the season. That is of course unless the organization is content with the pieces they have. No offense to Sandy Alderson, but he should be spending more time exploring ways to help the team rather...

Life After the Selection of a New Manager
Posted on 18 Nov 2010 by Jim Mancari.
So it looks like the Mets will have a new manager sometime before Thanksgiving. The four candidates have completed the second round of interviews in an attempt to secure a position that will be heavily scrutinized over the next season. Once the manager is chosen, the Mets need to switch their focus to importing some talent that could help the ball club next season and beyond. With San...

Mets Add Two Experienced GMs
Posted on 3 Nov 2010 by Mark Reichman.
With the hiring of J.P. Ricciardi as a special assistant to the newly hired GM Sandy Alderson, the Mets now have not one but two general managers with extensive big league experience at the position. The message of these hiring is clear: no more will the Mets be a proving ground for an Omar Minaya to figure out what makes a winning GM. These experienced new hires represent a higher level of a...
