Last week, Baseball America released its scouting reports on the top 10 organizational prospects on the horizon for the New York Mets and topping their list is right-handed pitching prospect Zack Wheeler. Our own Ben Yoel tweeted a copy of this month’s print issue of Baseball America with our boy Zack smack dab on the cover. Nice!
Obviously, Baseball America wrote this before...

Mets See Kirk Nieuwenhuis As A Stopgap

December 17, 2012
Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, fielded some questions in his mailbag piece this morning. I thought his reply to a question about Kirk Nieuwenhuis was worth sharing.
Will the Mets give Kirk Nieuwenhuis another chance at center field, or do you think they will pick up some reject from another team?
Now that Andres Torres is back with the Giants and Anthony Gose was not included in the...

With the last hurdle of the R.A. Dickey to Toronto deal approaching, the trade is as good as done. In this deal, the Mets will be giving up Dickey, Josh Thole and an unannounced prospect who isn’t believed to be a top-ranked player. The Mets will be receiving MLB catcher John Buck, catching prospect Travis d’Arnaud, RHP prospect Noah Syndergaard and a player to be named later...

Sandy Alderson did it again, speaking on WFAN he said he thought the Mets could compete in 2013. What he didn’t say was how he thought they’d be able to compete, much less define what he meant by compete.
He asked for patience and hoped some of the Mets’ young pitching talent would surface this coming season. Again, hope is not a strong building plan. Without saying so, he...

The New York Mets parted ways with outfielder Jason Bay earlier this offseason. He has since signed with the Seattle Mariners. While the move was a necessary one, one that cost the Mets money in which they will get no return on, the team still needs and wants to find some more outfield help. So it's no surprise that they have actively been pursuing and outfield addition...

The Mets have had a number of great catchers in their half century of existence. Jerry Grote was behind the plate for two pennant winners, nurturing a young and dominant pitching staff. John Stearns was a four-time All-Star who was at times the best player on his team. Ron Hodges was always No. 2 on the depth chart but in his 12 seasons in New York, but was the perfect complement...

The Mets got involved in contract extension negotiations with R.A. Dickey, and Dickey’s requested price seemed to be reasonable, but for whatever reason, the Mets didn’t want to pay it. Possibly because they don’t trust Dickey in the longer term, possibly because they don’t think they’re ready to win, possibly because of a blend of those reasons, or for neither of those...

why trading Dickey was the right move for the Mets

December 17, 2012
Trading your ace right after he won 20 games and the Cy Young award is never a popular move. But for the Mets, this was a great trade. Below are 5 reasons why, as well as why this was good for the Jays and Dickey himself.
1. First off, the Mets are rebuilding. They are not contending in 2013, with Dickey or without him. With him, best case scenario they win 83 games. They are in...
