JOSE WHO?

Found January 19, 2012 on The Eddie Kranepool Society:
PLAYERS: RA Dickey,  Yogi Berra,  Mark Teixeira,  Dikembe Mutombo
TEAMS: New York Mets,  New York Yankees

Courtsey Gary Finkel and 7th Inning Sketch  I have to say, I don’t get surprised by too many things but the response to my post on how the Mets will handle Jose Reyes’ first game as a Marlin at Citi Field really caught me off guard. I would have bet my Bruce Boscliar rookie card that Mets fans would have been on board for a video tribute for Reyes but I guess Mets fans are more in tune with Mets management who seemed to forget Reyes’ contributions in a 50th Anniversary video montage. I have to say I’m stunned, I’m just wondering if this is just a small sample who are giving Reyes the “don’t let the door hit ya’ where the good Lord spilt ya’” I mean there was a guy who made a cottage industry off Reyes with t shirts and unrelenting  self-promotion as well as  zealots on Facebook who organized protests to stop and dealing away of Reyes so I’m sure that group of Mets fans will be organizing on Reyes first trip, I just wonder if they will be in the minority.    Mets fans circle March 19...

What kind of role can we expect from Justin Turner this year?

Via Mets360.com  |  January 19, 2012
Depending on how things shake out this year, the Mets might need to turn to Justin Turner a lot more this year than they anticipate. Turner turned in a solid 2011 campaign batting .260 with four home runs and 51 RBI’s in 435 at-bats while chipping in at second base, third base and in a pinch at shortstop. With the Mets suffering from so many injuries last year (Daniel Murphy...

Mets Prospect Steve Matz Is Throwing In St. Lucie, Getting Ready For Spring Training

Via Mets Merized Online  |  January 18, 2012
I was able to catch up with Mets minor league pitcher, lefty Steve Matz the other day, and I asked him how his arm was feeling with spring training right around the corner. Steve has already reported to the complex at St. Lucie to begin his throwing program in warm weather. He went under the knife, with TJS on his pitching elbow in 2010, and had to be shut down when he tried to pitch...

Enjoy this latest MMO Flashback. Our prayers and thoughts are with Gary Carter.  - Joe D. While...

R.A. Dickey Grateful For The Wilpon’s Generous Donation, Understood Their Concern

Via Mets Merized Online  |  January 20, 2012
R.A. Dickey returns to his family after climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro R.A. Dickey is back from his climb up Mount Kilimanjaro and there’s a great article in the NY Times today that is well worth reading. Dickey said the group surpassed their goal of $100,000 with the help of a gift from Jeff Wilpon, the chief operating officer of the Mets. Before the climb, Wilpon and the Mets...

MMO Fair or Foul: Mets Are Wallflowers?

Via Mets Merized Online  |  January 20, 2012
The Mets’ decision to auction off parts of the old walls at Citi Field is getting a lot of attention lately – moreso than the new walls. Check this out… Because they can’t lure you to the ballpark with a winning team, the Mets will try to lure you with home runs. They’re bringing in the outfield walls at Citi Field to goose scoring, and here’s...

Do the Mets have any chance to make the playoffs this year?

Via MetsOnline  |  January 18, 2012
After an offseason that seemed to be quite boring in the minds of most fans. People ask the question: Do the Mets have any chance to make the playoffs this year? And there is only one way to answer that question, and it’s surprisingly yes. You never know. The Giants won in 2010, and nobody even put them as a contender to win that division. The Mets aren’t some talentless...

Get To Know a Mets Minor League Player: Garrett Olson

Via 213 Miles From Shea  |  January 20, 2012
Garrett Olson (28 years old) was a former first round pick (supplemental round – pick 48) by the Baltimore Orioles in the 2005 draft. I was still living in Baltimore when he made his professional debut in 2007, and there was a lot of local hype around Olson (at the time, the Orioles were looking for hope anywhere and everywhere, and to some degree, still are). He struggled...

TwitterQ&A: Should Mets now retire Gary Carter’s No. 8?

Via Matthew Cerrone's Mets Blog  |  January 19, 2012
Earlier tonight, I asked this question and got these responses from fans on Twitter: The way I see it, the Mets should definitely use this summer – the 50th anniversary of the team – to honor Carter’s place in their history, especially considering today’s sad news about his health. However, if the team had no intention of retiring his No. 8 before today...

Rockies looking at Justin Turner for 2B

Via Mets Chronicle  |  January 20, 2012
According the Denver Post, the Rockies turned their attention to adding another second baseman. They talked with the Red Sox about Marco Scutaro, but the deal fizzled given the Rockies' lack of financial flexibility and Boston's reluctance to part with the veteran without another everyday shortstop option. The Rockies remain strongly interested in the Mets' Justin...

Would You Decline Wright’s Option To Sign Josh Hamilton Next Offseason?

Via Mets Merized Online  |  January 19, 2012
After posing this question via twitter, a debate ensued between myself and several Met bloggers including our own Joe D. and Brandon Butler. I thought I would ask the MMO faithful this same query: Would you do anything to sign Josh Hamilton next winter? Even if it meant losing David Wright? Personally, I think it is something to consider. Now that the Rangers have inked Japanese...

eMailbag: 3 Q’s, 3 A’s on Cespedes, spending & prospects

Via Matthew Cerrone's Mets Blog  |  January 20, 2012
Gabe in Brooklyn sent in the following e-mail: “Yoenis Cespedes has been an interesting topic of the offseason, but why no interest from the Mets?” I have no idea. I assume they don’t feel it’s worth spending so much money on a mostly-unknown product. It could also just be the talent. I mean, there are teams with interest (like the Cubs and Marlins), and teams...
