Depending on how things shake out this year, the Mets might need to turn to Justin Turner a lot more this year than they anticipate.
Turner turned in a solid 2011 campaign batting .260 with four home runs and 51 RBI’s in 435 at-bats while chipping in at second base, third base and in a pinch at shortstop.
With the Mets suffering from so many injuries last year (Daniel Murphy...

I was able to catch up with Mets minor league pitcher, lefty Steve Matz the other day, and I asked him how his arm was feeling with spring training right around the corner. Steve has already reported to the complex at St. Lucie to begin his throwing program in warm weather. He went under the knife, with TJS on his pitching elbow in 2010, and had to be shut down when he tried to...

After an offseason that seemed to be quite boring in the minds of most fans. People ask the question: Do the Mets have any chance to make the playoffs this year? And there is only one way to answer that question, and it’s surprisingly yes. You never know. The Giants won in 2010, and nobody even put them as a contender to win that division.

Garrett Olson (28 years old) was a former first round pick (supplemental round – pick 48) by the Baltimore Orioles in the 2005 draft. I was still living in Baltimore when he made his professional debut in 2007, and there was a lot of local hype around Olson (at the time, the Orioles were looking for hope anywhere and everywhere, and to some degree, still are). He struggled as a...

TwitterQ&A: Should Mets now retire Gary Carter’s No. 8?
Earlier tonight, I asked this question and got these responses from fans on Twitter:
The way I see it, the Mets should definitely use this summer – the 50th anniversary of the team – to honor Carter’s place in their history, especially considering today’s sad news about his health. However, if the team had no intention of retiring his No. 8 before today’s news (based solely on...

eMailbag: 3 Q’s, 3 A’s on Cespedes, spending & prospects
Gabe in Brooklyn sent in the following e-mail:

I have no idea. I assume they don’t feel it’s worth spending so much money on a mostly-unknown product. It could also just be the talent. I mean, there are teams with interest (like the Cubs and Marlins), and teams who supposedly...
