Heyman: Mets have checked in on Upton and Kubel
The New York Mets appear set to begin the season with a starting outfield consisting of Mike Baxter, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, and Lucas Duda. I honestly think you’d be hard pressed to find a scout around the league that thinks any one of those guys (let alone all three) is currently a legitimate starting outfielder, so [...]
Something Needs to Change in This Bullpen…
Tonight, the Met offense provided the bullpen with two opportunities to close out the Nationals, and the bullpen could not do the job in either circumstance and fell to the Nationals 5-4. After Jordany Valdespin hit yet another big homer for the team in the ninth inning to take the lead, Bobby Parnell couldn’t hold [...]

Wow. I guess this team woke up today, lead by Daniel Murphy finally breaking out of his home run slumber. Prior to today Daniel Murphy went 352 at bats (and 273 this season) without a homer. After he finally slugged his first of the year, he liked it so much, he did it again in [...]
R.A. Dickey is Unreal
Tonight, R.A. Dickey continued his unprecedented streak of domination. Dickey threw his second straight one-hitter tonight, and struck out 13 batters, while improving his record to 11-1. AT NO POINT heading into this season could you have convinced me that ANY Mets pitcher would be 11-1 with an ERA of 2.00. Currently Dickey is on [...]

With injuries to Torres and Hairston den-Dekker “is a legitimate consideration” to make the team
Scott Hairston, who has not appeared in a Grapefruit League game since straining his left oblique muscle in his first spring game, tracked 20 pitches from minor leaguers on Sunday afternoon, followed by a round of batting practice which he pronounced successful: I wasn’t holding back at all. I picked up the ball pretty well [...]
