TEAMS: New York Mets

MetsBlog.com notes that if everything goes right for the Mets, they can make the playoffs. They don’t have a lot of leeway, however. That’s what makes the Yankees so tough. They have enough good players that if two have off years, two might have career years and even things out. The Mets need career years from everyone, and that’s tough to do.

Get To Know a Mets Minor League Player: Adam Loewen

Via 213 Miles From Shea  |  January 25, 2012
When Adam Loewen made his debut in 2006, he made history. It wasn’t about what he did, but more about who he faced. In his first four starts he drew Roy Halladay twice, Tom Glavine, and Randy Johnson. I remember these starts and the excitement about his arrival to the majors since I was living in Baltimore back in 2006. Alas, he is not the same player that he was in 2006, and...

According to MLB Trade Rumors’s free agent tracker there are currently fifteen outfielders still available on the free agent market for the Mets to potentially bring in. If we are to go by the tweet below by Adam Rubin, and Cody Ross is off the market then that number immediately drops to fourteen and we can make that number continually shrink. Sounds like Cody Ross probably...

It appears the Mets are focused on finding rotation depth, veteran pitchers willing to accept minor league deals who can be called up so that the prospects aren't rushed.

Cody Ross would A Nice Addition

Via BigAppleMetsTalk  |  January 23, 2012
The Mets have been rumored to have interest in free agent outfielder Cody Ross. Cody would be a very nice addition to a weak hitting bench. He also has the ability to start if needed. The Mets bench currently consists of Mike Nickeas, Ronny Cedeno, Scott Hairston and Justin Turner. Ross would instantly become the top bat off the bench and provides insurance if any of the potential...
