December 17, 2011
As the trade winds continue to blow this December, an interesting name has been added to the mix for teams looking for a starting pitcher: Jonathon Niese of the New York Mets. The 25 year old Niese has been one of the Mets' most effective starter over the past two seasons, ranking second on the staff with both 4.5 fWAR and a 3.75 FIP. The Mets are hesitant to trade him, and are...

Why are the Mets looking to trade Jon Niese?
Over the last couple of weeks, a lot of people have asked me both here and on Twitter why the Mets might be looking to trade Jon Niese; a young, inexpensive, high-ceiling left-handed pitcher who is under team control for another four years, especially with so much uncertainty in the rotation over the short-term?
I understand the point, but isn’t Niese a part of that uncertainty...

The latest New York Met to find himself entangled in trade rumors has been LHP Jonathon Niese. The New York Mets are apparently not willing to deal him unless they are “knocked out” by a trade proposal. I think this stance is perfectly appropriate for the New York Mets. Jonathon Niese is not a stud or a future front-line starter, but he’s solid and has already...

According to Tracy Ringolsby the Mets are interested in a trade in which the principle pieces are Jon Niese and Seth Smith. The 25 y/o left hander cost the Mets 425k last season for 26 starts with a 4.40 ERA / 1.41 WHIP. The Mets will have Niese under control for four more years at a reasonable cost in which is rare for a quality starter in the majors. Of course, his career ERA...

Sometimes it just boggles my mind how some bloggers can’t seem to differentiate between a writer’s speculation or a legitimate rumor. Case in point are these recent Jon Niese to Colorado for Seth Smith rumors.
Before I tear into the heart of these outlandish attempts to fire up the fan base, let me begin with an actual rumor that nobody seemed to key in on.
This a legitimate...

IF JON NIESE IS TRADED OR STAYS IT’S STILL A PLUS FOR THE METS
For everyone who says “why would Sandy Alderson even think about trading Jon Niese”? You got your answer yesterday when the San Diego Padres traded Matt Latos to the Cincinnati Reds for a cache of prime prospects.
The Reds see 2012 as their shot at winning the NL Central and putting together a pitching rotation that would stand up to the post season test so they took the big...

Today is the 25th anniversary of the last championship the Mets won. Today, the Mets blogosphere is saturated with stories of Game Seven, summaries, “What-Was-I-Doing-When…” stories, among others.
As Mets fans, we appreciate the history of this team, albeit quirky and riddled with more ennui than excitement. While I think we tend to romanticize the “down years” a little...
