TEAMS: Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Miami Marlins, Colorado Rockies, Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Mets
A few days ago Jon Heyman tweeted that the Mets are still looking for a middle infielder. It would seem they need someone who could play both SS and 2B, coming off the bench but could jump into a starters role if necessary. We've been hearing Jack Wilson's name for a while, in fact I did this post on him, but Cedeno I seemed to have neglected. On a quiet Sunday night with very little to talk about, I thought it might be interesting to profile Cedeno...The 28 y/o right handed hitter was nominated for the gold glove this year, at SS while playing with the Pirates. On Monday, ESPN released the names of three league finalists at each position. Walker joined Brandon Phillips (Reds) and Omar Infante (Marlins) on the list of second basemen. Cedeno, Troy Tulowitzki (Rockies) and Alex Gonzalez (Braves) were the shortstop nominees.source MLB.com Cedeno was signed as an amateur free agent 1999 by the Cubs and would make it to the majors in 2005. He would remain with the Cubs unti...

MMO Exclusive Interview: Mets Pitching Prospect Ryan Fraser, RHP
I had the pleasure of doing a Q&A with 23-year-old, New York Mets minor league pitcher, RHP Ryan Fraser the other day. In just two years of professional baseball with the Mets, the 6’3″ Fraser has made some very favorable impressions on people who follow the team. He was the Brooklyn Cyclones closer in 2010 registering 12 saves, and he was an anchor in the starting...
SNY Why Guys: Projecting Lucas Duda
In a post to SNY Why Guys, Mike Salfino examines players whose rookie seasons took place at age 25 and produced an OPS+ of 130 or more, and in regards to Lucas Duda, Salfino says:
“Let’s just spitball this list and say there’s a 44% chance that Lucas Duda becomes a valuable asset for the next five years, a 25% chance he becomes a hitter comparable to at least Jason Bay...
Mets remained interested in Endy...
I figured after they obtained Andres Torres, that Endy Chavez would would be viewed as a duplication of services. At the very least they would be in the market for a right handed center fielder to platoon with Torres should he look more like 2011 then 2010 or a power bat off the bench who could play better corner outfield then Murph. But according to Andy Martino the Mets remained...

Francisco, 32, went 1-4 with 17 saves and a 3.55 ERA (20 earned runs/50.2 innings) in 54 games with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2011. The 6-2, 250-pounder issued 18 walks and had 53 strikeouts. He converted all seven save opportunities and posted a 1.37 ERA...
A look at the New York Mets pitching staff
I think the rotation is solid for lack of a better word. Not great but not bad.
Johan Santana is a question mark because almost no one comes back from the surgery he had. Chien Ming Wang may be the first if he can continue at his pace. Chris Young couldn’t. Jake Peavy has to a point but he still visits the DL often. The problem is that he was always injury prone so it’s hard...
Sign of the Times: Rangers Get Darvish, Mets Interested in Luis Martinez
This is the world Mets fans are now living in, a place where they root for a mid-market team playing in one of the greatest cities in the world. It makes no sense. Poor decisions and organizational mismanagement has led to this, and true fans are sickened but resigned to dealing with this, because we love our team. But if someone needed a symbol of exactly how far this franchise...
Mets ornament of the day: 1988, so close
Well, I fell just short of obtaining something recently. I was so certain, so close. It had to happen.Except that it didn't.I remember feeling this way exactly once before.I was so sure the Mets were going to the 1988 World Series, and that they'd win it. It was in the bag.The 1986 championship season was followed by a year devastated by injuries. But the 1988 Mets were incredible...
Latest On Carlos Beltran
Carlos Beltran is one of the top free agents remaining (#4 among unsigned free agents on MLBTR's top 50 list). He hit .300/.385/.525 with 22 homers for the Mets and Giants this past season and won't cost a draft pick, so teams looking for a capable outfield bat have taken note. The 34-year-old switch-hitter won't come cheap, however. Here's the latest on Beltran...
