Davis has quickly become one of my favorite Mets. He has an intensity and drive you don’t see in some of the other players and he absolutely hates to lose. I see him quickly becoming the leader of this team in the mold of Keith Hernandez. His quick bat and the power he generates from from his lower body tells me we could see many 30+ home run seasons in his future. His defense is close to elite and it won’t be long until he starts racking up a few Gold Gloves. Get back on the diamond Ike, it’s what you were born to do. ~ Joe D.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with most of the moves that Sandy Alderson and Co. have made this off-season. Not spending a ton of money (which the team didn’t even have) on a player like Jose Reyes was a hard decision, but it was the right move. Personally, I loved the Angel Pagan for Andres Torres and Ramon Ramirez trade and if I were the Mets I probably...

This is the last post in a series that has looked at the boiler plate that is now the National League East. The series started with a look at the Phillies and determined that, with that pitching rotation, and despite a weaker line up, should be given the nod once again as the favorite to win the division. The next three posts focused on the Braves, Marlins and Nationals and found...

Selig giving Mets Ownership the wait and see approach about their finances

February 15, 2012
According to FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal, the Mets ownership is getting the Selig’s wait-and-see approach, while this may be frustrating to many Mets fans, is no different than his approach on most issues. He prefers teams to resolve their own problems, without interference from the commissioner.
Selig is betting that the Mets’ picture will become clearer over ...

An open letter to Fred Wilpon

Dear Mr. Fred Wilpon:
It’s time – you need to sell the team.
I know the truth often smarts, but that doesn’t make it any less accurate.
I understand New York Mets baseball has been a part of your life since you purchased that one-percent share back in 1980, half of the shares in 1986 and finally everything in 2002.
And for many of those years, you put the team in a position...

What can we expect from Dillon Gee in 2012?
Via BigAppleMetsTalk
|
February 13, 2012
Last year Dillon Gee burst onto the scene like a man possessed. He hit the ground running and helped keep the Mets stay respectable for the majority of the season until Sandy dealt key pieces at the trade deadline. Aside from R.A. Dickey, Gee was the Mets best starter last season and ended with 13 wins which was the most on the club. What can we realistically expect from him for...

MMO Sunday Flashback: Could Ike Davis Be The Next Darryl Strawberry?

February 12, 2012
Enjoy this MMO Sunday Flashback by Ed Leyro that was originally posted on April 20th, 2011. You can catch more from Ed on his site, Studious Metsimus.
It seems odd to compare Ike Davis to Darryl Strawberry. After all, Darryl was the #1 pick in the 1980 amateur draft, took home the Rookie of the Year Award in 1983, and is at or near the top of many of the Mets’ all-time hitting...

I read an interesting article at Baseball Prospectus by Biz of Baseball’s Maury Brown, who sheds new light on some of complexities regarding the financial turmoil that has engulfed Mets ownership in the aftermath of the Madoff scandal.
Interestingly enough, Brown corroborates some of the things I’ve either speculated here on MMO as well as a few things I reported based...

I wasn’t really a huge fan of Twitter when it first came out, and in fact I was late to the party and only signed up in late 2010 I think. However, lately I’ve seen the light and actually enjoy Twitter as a means to stay connected with other Mets fans, other Mets bloggers, and of course the beat writers which is why I joined in the first place. Last week we eclipsed 3...

Lots of varying opinions on Alderson’s foray into Twitter. Some are getting a kick out of it, some fans feel as though he’s mocking them, and others simply don’t care.
Where do you stand?

This afternoon, Sandy Alderson was a guest of Mike Francesa on WFAN and MetsBlog posted a summary recap:
Johan Santana will throw off a mound later this week in Port St. Lucie.
He feels the current rotation is “pretty solid,” if Santana is healthy.
There isn’t anyone on the roster who doesn’t have something to prove.
Lucas Duda has big offensive potential.

I contacted Rob Carson, left-handed pitcher for the New York Mets by phone on Monday, less than a week before he is due to leave for spring training in Port. St. Lucie. This year spring training will be a little different for Carson, because he will be in the big league camp for the first time, a result of being added to the 40-man Major League Roster this winter. Rob and I discussed...
