Discuss anything and everything about the New York Mets.
I think it's high time we had a single unified thread here discussing any and all things regarding the Mets farm system, and Mets Minor League Baseball. This should be an ongoing discussion as I often find myself scouring the internet looking for updates and information on guys like Matz, Davis,...
Welp, it's time for yet another long off-season. All off-seasons are long, and we soon realize that not playing at all is often more difficult than losing 6 of 10. I'm sure many of us are already looking forward to Spring Training and Opening Day. This is the official 2009/10 off-season thread...
This is the twelfth election for Our Mets Hall of Fame, coaches edition. Last time we elected no one. The rules of this election are like those of the manager and regular election. New coaches: None Dropped coaches: none
Please limit your ballot to a maximum of 15 names. This is the forty-third election for Our Mets Hall of Fame. Last time, we elected Jose Reyes. For the original rules and specifications for this Hall of Fame, see: http://www.baseball-fever.com/showthread.php?t=83894 New, additional...
An all new, improved, revised, and refurbished All-Time Mets Poll, 1962-2008. The poll now includes managers and general managers. As before, I've listed each position in alphabetical order, and, in case one or more of your choices isn't listed, there's an "other(s)" option for each...
Thats a good sign. Hopefully it translates into his pitching. Like it or not the pitchers we have are the pitchers we have. I dont think there are going to be any big moves made to the pitching staff at this point. I think the focus has to change for us "angry" Met fans to deal with what we...
Mookie was signed to be an OF/baserunning minor league roving instructor, and Bob Melvin was signed to be a scout. Former bullpen coach Guy Conti was also signed to coach in the minors. Welcome back Mookie, and with a proven former NL manager of the year in the system Melvin could be a good option...
The Mets are fielding a lousy team. The Mets have fielded mostly lousy teams for 20 years now. Even when they’re good on paper, they’re lousy on a diamond. This can’t be blamed on Minaya or Phillips or any of the GMs that have put these teams together. No matter who's GM, the result...
I wish the people calling us whiny crybabies were right. The fact is that people in the business are talking about how bad the Mets are too. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Where there's fire, there's a blaze. Where there's a blaze, there's a wildfire. I just made this list of the top of my...
Was in the Daily News today. Strawberry is surprised that the Mets havent made so many moves, and admits they have been quiet on the FA front. Pretty sad that we have to be shamed by a former player. Something stinks to high heaven here. Perhaps the Wilpons did get fleeced good and Omar has his...
How did this get missed? (or did I miss the story in another thread) http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/31/arts/31jarvis.html Another part of childhood memories watching Mets games.
A warm welcome home to Smithtown's own Frank Catalanotto. I had the pleasure of playing with Frank years ago, and am happy to see him signed to a contract, albeit a minor league one with invite to Spring Training. Heres hoping he makes the team out of Spring Training, as he can play IF and OF and...
Look its obvious this team is not winning the WS, but there are 29 team that arent going to win it. We can and should still enjoy the baseball season. We all knew or should have known that this team was not going to compete a month a go as the FA pitchers were being picked off one by one. With...
You guys can enjoy your pity parties, your self loathing, your daily dose of negativity. I'm going to watch the games when they come on and enjoy the baseball season. What I'm not going to do is post here and read any more of this.
http://www.examiner.com/x-33368-NY-Baseball-History-Examiner~y2010m2d4-Solly-Hemus-recalls-his-days-with-the-1962-New-York-Mets The 21st annual BAT dinner in New York City provided me the opportunity to catch up with one of the coaches of the inaugural 1962 New York Mets. Solly Hemus, now 86 and...
Hahaha, sorry I just couldn't help myself.
This shouldn't surprise anyone, but it is helpful to know when fans of other teams argue Luis Castillo's contract isn't that bad because he plays "solid defense." http://www.amazinavenue.com/2010/1/21/1246288/is-there-any-hope-for-luis
then it bears its own thread. I took this from bklyn55's post in the "same old" thread. This would be absurd and if this doesnt cause you to lose some belief in this organization then nothing will. If this is true then everyone needs to go ...yesterday. ...
Ok one common word in all of the these threads about the offseason, and going into the 2010 season is the word "IF". I realize you can say IF about a lot of teams..except the really good ones. Red Sox, Phils, Yanks, Cards, and the Dodgers...no Ifs ...they will all contend. The Mariners seem to be...
Maybe some of you caught it yesterday on the MLB Network. Reyes was doing all sorts of drills including 5 90ft sprints. He said he feels good and is ready to start ST. Well thats something positive. If the Mets are going to make any kind of noise he is the key offensively.
Ok now they are trying to embarass themselves. You cant be this bad without trying. Smoltz????? If your going to get Smoltz...just re-sign Seaver..maybe Bob Gibson too. Gooden has half the Met uni in his orange prison jumper. Close enough.

I predict the Mets to win about 73 games as is. If they add Sheets, my prediction goes to ~86 wins, if they get Nady or play first I'd guess ~90. Add another two wins per decent-good player. I also think the division will look like this: 1 Phillies 2 Mets(Possible WC) 3 Marlins 4 Nationals...

http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-33368-NY-Baseball-History-Examiner~y2010m1d28-How-Andre-Dawson-almost-became-a-New-York-Met I sat down with the newest Hall of Famer Andre Dawson and former Mets manager Davey Johnson and found out how Dawson almost became a part of the Mets after the 1986...
....so why isnt he a Met rigth now? Someone is going to give him 8 million or atleast very close. I hope that this team can see where they are and how bad they need a potential top of the rotation guy. I know he comes with a lot of risk, but to me the Mets must roll the dice right now. They...
As I predicted on another thread in a post that somehow got deleted, the Mets have painted themselves into a corner, and are being taken to the cleaners by a couple of savvy agents who realize if the Mets walk away empty handed, there will be a fan mutiny. Yet another reason Mets payrolls are...
With Molina off the board and the Mets filling the position from within with Santos/Blanco they MUST sign Sheets. I dont care what he wants he gets it. 10 million, 12 million whatever..for one year. They save 4 million with Molina now put it on Sheets, and another pitcher. End of story...it is not...
I give up. I just absolutley give up. THIS is the kind of 'B' level/fill in/role player Omar Minaya decides to add to this team?....:choke: The guy that basically put his feet up once he got paid? The guy with one of, if not THE worst contracts in MLB? I know the Angels are going to pick up...
