Original Post: 2013 Mets Projections: Ike Davis, 1B
Ike Davis‘ 2012 season can be summed up in just one word: inconsistent. Fans had high hopes for Davis, who many thought could rise to stardom last year. Two months in, however, people started to question whether Davis should even be on the team, as his batting average struggled to even approach .200.
Later in the season, Davis picked up the production, and his batting average gradually rose above .200. And with the hits, came the home runs. In April and May, Davis combined for just five home runs. The rest of the way, he hit 27, including nine in the month of July.
Davis was inconsistent, but...

2013 Mets Projections: Ruben Tejada, SS
When the Marlins signed Jose Reyes in December of 2011, the Mets were forced to turn to a young, inexperienced shortstop in Ruben Tejada. Just 22 at the time, Tejada was given the enormous (and probably impossible) task of replacing Reyes. No one expected him to make up for the production lost, but the club certainly needed decent production out of the position.
In 2011, Tejada got...
Spring Training ’13: Darin Gorski Will Get Long Look As Reliever

On Monday, general manager Sandy Alderson talked a little bit about Mets left-handed pitching prospect Darin Gorski.
Alderson said that Gorski will get a serious look as a reliever in Spring Training, but it is unlikely he’ll make the Opening Day roster. The Mets just want to see how Gorski performs in that role.
Gorski, 25, has...
Wright Reaches Out To Michael Bourn, Things Could Be Heating Up
David Wright told The NY Post yesterday, that he has spoken with and exchanged texts with free-agent center fielder Michael Bourn in an attempt to lure him to Citi Field. “I just wanted to let him know that he would be a great addition here and he’d obviously be welcomed here,’’ Wright said after his first early workout at the Mets’ spring training complex. “I talked...
Mets ticket prices are up, but youth could bring fans back to Citi Field
The Mets promising first half of the 2012 season may have given fans a glimmer of hope for the 2013 campaign. Approaching the All Star break six games over .500 and just 4.5 out of the division, the farm system-grown squad led by David Wright appeared formidable. However, things went south quickly and the season ended as another major dissapointment. With 74 wins, the Mets had their...
Mets owners reportedly looking to build casino next to Citi Field
The New York Mets owners are in such financial trouble they are looking to build a casino next to Citi Field, the New York Post reports.
The Post says the Mets’ development company, Sterling Equities, submitted plans to build a massive casino and hotel on the Willets Point development site in Queens, adjacent to Citi Field.
Live table gaming is illegal in New York except on tribal...
Mets Rumors: Mets and Scott Boras are playing a game of chicken for Bourn
According to Joel Sherman of the Ny Post, The Mets and Scott Boras are engaged in a game of chicken.
The powerful
agent is saying he has attractive offers elsewhere for Michael Bourn.
The Mets are essentially challenging him to prove those offers exist by
remaining relatively inflexible in what they are willing to spend on the
fleet center fielder.
Bourn does not have an...
Shaun of the Mets: Measuring Marcum’s Value For 2013

One thing we’ve learned about the Mets in recent years is that they like the idea of offering short-term, incentive-laden contracts to pitchers with some upside. Chris Young immediately comes to mind.
The caveat to the Mets’ philosophy is simple: Any starting pitcher with a track record of success and durability is going to demand – and probably...
NY Mets Owners Want To Build Casino Next To The Stadium
According to the NY Post the NY Mets owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz are seriously considering building a ‘Las Vegas’ style casino right next to CitiField to recoup money lost from the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme they were victims of.
The Mets development company Sterling Equities are bidding for a proposal to construct a 1.8 million square foot casino/hotel right next...
Report: Michael Bourn Having ‘Ongoing Discussions’ With Mets
Spring training is right around the corner and, shockingly, free agent Michael Bourn still hasn’t signed on with a new club.
The latest team to show interest in the speedy outfielder is the New York Mets, according to The Star-Ledger. Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said there is “ongoing discussion” with Bourn.
Since Bourn’s former team, the Atlanta Braves, sent Bourn...
The Clock Has Started Ticking On The Sandy Experiment
Pundits often say a college football coach deserves at least two years to turn a team over before anyone can honestly pass judgement. That time provides the new coach with enough time to recruit his own players and implement his own scheme. General managers in Major League Baseball get no such grace period. Thus the dilemma Sandy Alderson currently finds himself in.
Since taking...
Bullpen Idol – The Mets search for a closer
The way things are going…Mr. Met might be the closer.
Frank Francisco‘s time as Mets closer looks like it’s coming to an end. General manager Sandy Alderson signed veteran relievers Scott Atchison and LaTroy Hawkins to Minor League deals earlier this week and they still aren’t done adding bullpen help. As per mlb.com, Alderson has made “no secret” that he would like...
The Gamble
It borders on the surreal sometimes with this team. Think about it: there's no money for anything. The Madoffs practically took everything the Wilpons own, forcing them to turn to the immortal LaTroy Hawkins for help. They were the last team to sign a free agent to a major league deal, and Shaun Marcum's $4 million deal remains the only major league deal they've signed...
Derek Lowe a fit for the Mets..
During the off-season before the 2009 season it was rumored that the Mets came very close to signing Derek Lowe only to have the Braves swoop in and grab the veteran pitcher. The made a low ball offer that they sat on saying they wouldn't bid against themselves, the Braves missed several pitchers and were able to become the highest bidder. Now most believed that the Braves...
LOL Mets
Yep, so everyone who was involved in that 2011 deal between the New York Mets and the San Francisco Giants are now on the Giants, and the two players traded to New York are back on rather inexpensive deals, at that. Oh, and the Giants won the World Series.
So, LOL Mets. Angel Pagan got pretty damn good when he came to the Giants, and both Andres Torres and Ramon Ramirez were...
