Colorado_rockies_vs_29e4
I took a poll in late September and I left if up.  I Asked Who the Mets Should Trade This Off-Season? Of the Many that Voted, many seemed that Johan Santana should be the logical choice to be traded. So Much for the 1st Mets No-Hitter, LOL !  I Agree with the fans, I think the Mets should trade Santana and his salary for other parts.. I think the Mets will Look to trade Lucas Duda and/or Daniel Murphy (because his value is up). Murphy can be replaced by Jordanny Valdespin, who is playing winter ball at 2B. If the Mets don't come to agreements with either Dickey or Wright this off-season maybe the Mets make a big slash by trading one or booth of them, but expect the Mets to make the safe move and let them play out their final year until the trading deadline. If You Have Not Voted Click Here Here are Poll Results in Percentages: Johan Santana 33% Lucas Duda 23% Daniel Murphy 16% David Wright 11% Ike Davis 9% R.A. Dickey 8% Here are some comments left to ...

2012 Mets Player Review: Johan Santana

Via Mets Merized Online  |  October 15, 2012
JOHAN SANTANA, LHP PRESEASON EXPECTATIONS: The only thing the Mets knew for certain about Johan Santana heading into the season is they would pay him $24 million. Coming off shoulder surgery and not having started since Sept. 2, 2010, the most the Mets could hope for was for him to stay healthy and start at least 15 games. Anything above that would be considered a bonus. 2012 SEASON...

2012 Mets Player Review: R.A. Dickey, RHP

Via Mets Merized Online  |  October 16, 2012
R.A. DICKEY, RHP PRESEASON EXPECTATIONS: R.A. Dickey had been a journeyman with a trick pitch his entire career, winning a career-high 11 games in 2010. Realistically, they had no right to expect more than that from him at age 37 and figured to be third or fourth in the rotation at best. Only injuries or poor performance from others could elevate his status, and was why he was in...

2012 Mets Player Review: Jonathan Niese, LHP

Via Mets Merized Online  |  October 17, 2012

While the Mets weren’t worried about his arm, two muscle pulls had...

What a difference a year makes for the Mets.

Via Long Island Met Fan  |  October 16, 2012
The Mets say they have the funds to re sign David Wright and R A Dickey this off season. Well as a Met fan your happy that at least they can try to retain Wright and give Dickey a well deserved raise. This is partially due to the fact that the hapless Wilpons don’t have to spend mad $4 paying off the Madoff debt . Well my question is this. If this is true, and lets just say this was resolved a

The undervalued Jeremy Hefner

Via Mets360.com  |  October 16, 2012
It’s easy to look at Jeremy Hefner’s 5.09 ERA and 4-7 record and conclude that it was not a very good year and that the Mets might look to upgrade his spot for 2013.  But Hefner did a fine job in his role and not only should he be back next year, there are legitimate reasons to think he was undervalued by most fans and analysts out there. One of the difficulties in evaluating...
