Here is part of a great post by Michael Friere of Macks Mets who weighs in on Ike Davis:
The Mets drafted Ike with the 18th overall pick, in the first round of the 2008 Major League Baseball draft out of Arizona State University. Advance billing on Ike was that he was a solid hitter, with decent amount of power and an excellent glove. Plus, Ike was left handed, which is considered...

ESPN Insider - Keith Law ranks the Mets’ farm system at 22nd in the majors, albeit ahead of division rivals Philadelphia (No. 25) and Miami (No. 28)
“It’s actually getting better here, but rebuilding a system takes years, and the Mets have really just begun to inject higher-upside talent into the system.”
I’m not sure I agree with this.

2012 MLB Uniform Changes: Mets Special St. Patrick Day Uniforms

The Mets have a new St. Patrick’s day uniform this year, that was posted a week ago on the Mets Twitter account:
Here is the front of the Jersey, and the back.
Staying with recent trends, the Uniform this year is based off of the Mets Batting Practice Jersey, rather than a normal jersey. I actually really like the idea of making an Irish Jersey off of the Mets batting practice...

R.A. Dickey to Have 3 Knuckle Ball Speeds?

Metsblog posted today portions of fan Q&A with R.A. Dickey.
At one point, Dickey was asked if he was going to still throw two speeds of Knuckleballs, to which he responded “3″.
What does this actually mean?
I haven’t found anything about him pitching or practicing yet an even faster knuckleball, or a slower one, so I doubt that (although if someone can find...

The payroll freefall from another perspective

February 08, 2012
With the offseason coming to a close, the Mets’ 2012 Opening Day payroll looks to be settling somewhere in the neighborhood of $90M. Nominally speaking, that’s an historic dropoff from last year’s Opening Day payroll of roughly $143.2M (per Cot’s, adjusting for Taylor Buchholz‘s roster bonus). There’s just no way to paint a $50M+ decline in payroll...

Well, it just gets better and better for the Wilpons, doesn’t it? For an organization that tries its darnedest to put out nothing but positive PR, it sure has a funny way of achieving the exact opposite. The tighter the choke hold on the Mets’ message, the more mangled it becomes. Even what would be considered “good” news from and for Fred, Jeffy and Uncle Saul appears...

Basically you were paying a percentage of league minimum to see what they have and then could add them to Buffalo for depth. The new collective bargaining agreement maybe effecting how...

Reports indicate that Johnny Damon is looking for a contract in the $5 million dollar range. I doubt he can score that kind of deal this late in the offseason, so maybe the Mets should see if they could swoop in and sign him to an incentive-laden deal.
Where would Damon fit? How about centerfield? Yes, I know the issues with the pop-gun arm, however Damon can still hit (.261/16...

The look back at the in depth career of general manager Omar Minaya continues with his first off-season in charge.
To see the full effects of the changes made in the off-season by Omar we must first take a quick look at the 2004 New York Mets. In 2004 the Mets GM was Jim Duquette, the manager was Art Howe, and the team finished 4th in the NL East with a 71-91 record.
