2012 Mets Prospect Predictions

Via Mets Merized Online  |  March 18, 2012
As I gaze into my crystal ball for 2012, here’s a gander at what I see happening in the upcoming Mets Minor League season… Pitchers Most Wins: Collin McHugh Call this a bit of a bold selection, but for the first time in a long time I think the Mets have their best collection of offensive talent at Triple-A.

Brandon in PSL: Coming to terms with Mets’ ugly loss

Via Mets360.com  |  March 16, 2012
Today’s game was painful for a few reasons: one, I had to sit through nine innings of major league players trying to play baseball, and two, I was sitting out in The Berm, which is the seating area on the ground in right field. I wouldn’t recommend these “seats” for anyone if they go. While it’s a different way to watch the game, the angle of the grass we were sitting on...

Season Preview: New York Mets

The New York Mets were never contenders in 2011, and embarked on, what I think, is a three-year journey back towards respectable baseball.  Jose Reyes, starting shortstop for the Mets, won the batting title in an otherwise inconsequential season full of injuries, and turmoil.  The NL East has become the Phillies division, with the Nationals and Marlins on the rise, while the Braves and
