Mets Plus

So far, the winter meetings have had lots of trades, and signings. Here’s a run down on trades and signings! 1. White Sox acquire Jeff Sammardzija. I like this move. The White Sox add another decent arm to their rotation. He should be a #2 guy behind Sale. 2. Cubs acquire Miguel Montero. Wow. Looks…

Sources: #Mets farm director Jon Miller leaving organization at end of year. — Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) December 8, 2014 Jon Miller, if you can remember, succeeded Terry Collins on 2010. Miller has done a great job helping the young core of Mets players develop with honors. Jon Miller’s replacement will be named some time later…

According to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com, the Mets are likely to trade a veteran starter (Gee,Colon or Niese) very soon. Here’s what I make of this: Soon means soon. And I bet something will happen before the last day of the meetings on Thursday. Of course, only time will tell, but my hunch is that…

Millitary Mondays at CitiField brought us two very exciting walk off’s this year. While Wilmer Flores sack fly to win the game off of LaTroy Hawkins and the Rockies was memorable, it barely missed our list at #12. At Number #9, we have a very exciting game.

The Mets have all winter to decide what to do with their shortstop situation, but it’s becoming more clear to the general public that the Mets intentions are to take Flores and Tejada into spring training, fail to make a decision, and trade on of them in April ala Duda and Davis. While I’m almost…

Since Jose Reyes, the only speedy guy to ever play for the Mets was Eric Young Jr. Eric Young was not an exceptional hitter, he was not an exceptional fielder, he was however, a great clubhouse guy, and a speed threat off the bench. During the arbitration deadline, the Mets decided to offer contracts to…

Brian Managan of MetsBlog.com suggested the idea of a “relief ace” last week on his blog. For those not aware of what a relief ace is, it’s basically when you have 6 starters, and the 6th man works out of the bullpen and fills in periodically. This doesn’t make sense to me, because while I…

Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson said that 2B Daniel Murphy will be a big part of the 2015 Mets Team. This confirms that Daniel Murphy will not be traded this offseason, and this is a good thing, because trading Murphy opens up another big hole. One that Dilson Herrera cannot cover.
