If the last four seasons of Mets baseball have proven anything, it's that winning takes 25 guys, a number that jumps to 35-40 over the course of a regular season. To me, the single biggest difference between the 2006 team and the '07-'09 varieties was depth. Remember all...

Jose Valentin, Julio Franco, Marlon Anderson, and Moises Alou were all great pick-ups their first year, but they all stayed a year too long.I know the Wilpon's don't like to waste money but most of the guys I'm talking about, made less then 2MM a year and when Minnesota...

In other moves today the Mets have cut Jose Valentin, Tony Armas jr. and Junior Spivey. Valentin still believes he can play in the majors and while being a player/coach in Buffalo seemed like a good opportunity to begin camp, after the spring he's had he'll look elsewhere before...

After the game it was announced that Jose Valentin was re-assigned to AAA Buffalo. Valentin isn't ready to hang up the cleats but the Mets see him as a future coach/manager. For now he'll play with Buffalo hoping for a call-up while Obie uses him as a player-coach. In other...

First let me say that early reports were that Bobby Kielty was getting the start and I thought that it was an indicator that he was ahead of Marlon Anderson for the last spot on the bench, but with him not in the line-up I have to believe that Anderson's guaranteed contract is...

The Mets infield is the strongest component of the team, and one of the best in baseball. The infield looks pretty much the same as last year, with the exception of the addition of Alex Cora and the departure of Damon Easley. It should be noted that Marlon Anderson and Fernando Tatis...

If it wasn't an off day in camp there is no way this would have gotten this much attention. The Mets have signed Junior Spivey to a minor league deal, it's as much an indictment of Ramon Martinez who's hitting .167 as it is a depth acquistion but what does make it surprising...
