It included Norichika Aoki in left field (obtained through a proposed deal sending Ike Davis to the Milwaukee Brewers), Andre Ethier in right field (obtained through a proposed deal for Rafael Montero et al), and Jhonny Peralta at shortstop (signed...

Eric Young Jr. Is Not A Good Reason To Trade Daniel Murphy
In recent days, rumors have heated up that the Mets are considering trading Daniel Murphy so they can install Eric Young Jr. as their everyday second baseman.
As I see it, there are two significant problems with this idea. The first is that Daniel Murphy is one of the few things about the Mets that isn’t completely broken, and getting rid of him would add another entry to the list...

Eric Young Jr., an answer in the leadoff spot?
Most of the discussion around the blogging world since the Mets season has ended has mostly surrounded corner outfielder’s and short stops (with a sprinkling of first base thrown in). This is for good reason as the Mets have needs in both of those areas. The outfield discussion has been all around acquiring power hitters for that spot, which is again important.
What’s being forgotten...

Mets Discussing Eric Young Jr. At Second Base, Is Daniel Murphy Out?
According to sources, the Mets have discussed at least two scenarios that would make Eric Young the everyday second baseman in 2014.
Yesterday, after Mets COO Jeff Wilpon mentioned that David Wright, Zack Wheeler, Dillon Gee and Jon Niese were the only set players on the team, I wondered why Daniel Murphy was left out of that group.

Eric Young Jr. is a professional baserunner
Baseball is a hilarious sport. At one point in the season, the Rockies designated Eric Young Jr. for assignment, then he’s traded to the Mets for Collin McHugh, and now he is among the league leaders in stolen bases. This is the epitome of “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” however the Rockies probably wish they still had Young right now. This may be the best...

Eric Young Jr. could provide nice bang for the buck
Some Mets’ fans have shrugged at the idea of acquiring the services of Eric Young Jr. (traded for Collin McHugh on Tuesday night) from the Colorado Rockies, saying he is nothing more than filler with no real upside and one who will fit right in with the Mets’ under-qualified outfield.
The naysayers have a point. After all, Young’s career slash line is a modest .261/.329/.342...
