Theriot is 32 years old and has played in Major League Baseball for seven years. He also has a career .282 batting average; so he definitely fits the title of veteran middle infielder. Theriot led off 83 times for the Cardinals last season, and that is definitely saying something (given that the Cards won the 2011 World Series). Unfortunately, Theriot is probably out of the Mets’ price range at this time. But, we’ll see.

In a post to Baseball Prospectus, Kevin Goldstein takes a look at 10 of the league’s better prospects who might want to forget about 2011. For instance, he writes the following about 20-year-old Mets SS Wilmer Flores: “Flores has long been seen as one of the Mets’ top prospects, but that’s mostly been because of his age and level.

A Letter To R.A. Dickey

Via Mets Merized Online  |  December 29, 2011
Dear R.A. It has come to our attention that you plan on doing a charity junket to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, in Africa. Although we are sure that it is for a worthy cause, unwed mothers is that right? As your employer the N.Y. Mets respectfully request that you reconsider. Mountain climbing is the third most dangerous sport in the world, eclipsed only by shark punching, and professional...

New York Mets to Eliminate A Minor League Affiliate

Via Rant Sports  |  December 30, 2011
In an effort to save some money, the New York Mets are going to eliminate their Gulf Coast League affiliate. According to General Manager Sandy Alderson, the New York Mets lost $70 million last season. I’m assuming he’s referring to losing that money as a result of the St. Lucie Mets’ operations. That does seem awfully high for a rookie level affiliate that only...

So that's 2011. When this site started in 2006, the Cardinals won the World Series. 5 years later, the Cardinals won the World series again. Every hack column you've read about the year in review probably started "They'll never be another year like 2011..." While that might be the most awful way to start a post ever, in our case, it's absolutely the truth...

MMO Exclusive Interview: Mets Prospect Scott Moviel, RHP

Via Mets Merized Online  |  December 31, 2011
I got a chance to talk with Mets right-hander Scott Moviel just after Christmas and he was nice enough to bring us up-to-date as far as his progress in 2011. Before last season Scott was battling knee troubles which can be problematic for a pitcher who stands 6’11″. Now healthy once again, he provides us with some very interesting insights on the challenges he is taking...
