Opinion: Duaner Sanchez - Season Analysis 2008
19 hours ago | Mets Geek
The next pitcher that I’d like to profile is Duaner Sanchez. Sanchez was a key member of the Mets bullpen in 2006. After missing all of 2007, Sanchez returned to the Mets and pitched with a lot of mixed results in 2008. Sanchez finished 2008 with a 4.32 ERA, his highest mark during his four full...

Hoffman could end up our next closer....
Trevor Hoffman's agent, Rick Thurman, told The Post yesterday there have been talks with the Mets about meeting with the free-agent closer in Las Vegas, in New York or perhaps both. The 41-year-old Hoffman, the all-time saves leader, had 30 saves and a 3.77 ERA last season with the Padres. Th...

What about leftfield?
The Mets are set in centerfield, obviously, with Carlos Beltran (and his full no-trade clause) signed through 2011. But that brings us back to left, where the Mets apparently have Fernando Tatis and Daniel Murphy ready to platoon again. Depending on what GM Omar Minaya has to sacrifice in o...

Baker wants Wood, Mets could use Cordero
Last year in the off-season I thought it would be smart for the Mets to over pay Francisco Cordero to set-up for two years with the promise to close when Wagner retired. Of course, at the price Cordero received that just wouldn't be economically sound. I had no idea he would get four years at 12M...

Coming To The Astros Disabled List Sometime Next Spring, A Very Familiar Face
The Chronicle’s Richard Justice suggested the other day it was time for Astros owner Drayton McLane to openly plead poverty given Houston’s reluctance to enter the free agent market this off-season. Such a statement is no longer necessary, however, given the Astros’ stunning acquisit...

Mets Arbitration Decisions
Nobody else on the above list is going to get an offer from the Mets. Prior to 2007, that passivity would have precluded the player from resigning with his former team. That's no longer the case, so the Mets could still negotiate with Pedro Martinez et al without having to guarantee any of them...

Pirates-Mets good trade match...
The Pirates are actively shopping reliever John Grabow and catcher Ronny Paulino. In fact it sounds like the Pirates are begging teams to take Paulino..... Wilson and Grabow are out there, and they're really pushing Paulino," one American League executive said. source Pittsburgh Post-gazet...

Opinion: Mets Batter VORP By Decade
To date, Mike Piazza leads all Mets hitters in career VORP by quite a bit, his 372.1 out-pacing Strawberry's 296.9 to the tune of more than seven wins. Wright is just a couple of decent seasons behind Piazza, though, so there could be a changing of the guard pretty soon. McReynolds at #10 is surpr...

Opinion: Take me out to the (taxpayer-subsidized) ballgame
Now that the federal government is sending $20 billion to Citigroup (on top of the $25 billion the bank got in the Wall Street bailout earlier this fall), you and every other taxpayer may feel a special attachment to the Mets, who will be playing next year at a new stadium named Citi Field. Cit...

New York Mets Team Report
INSIDE PITCH David Wright's primary residence now is in Manhattan. And the transplanted Virginian indicated he would cheerfully help recruit free agents to the Mets if asked, especially because he's in town. "I live here most of the offseason," Wright said before serving as host for a Nov....

Opinion: More Fish in the Barrel: Fun with the mets.com Mailbag
I've heard the arguments for and against the black alternate jersey (I tend to lean towards "for"), and I would imagine that I dislike the white jerseys sans pinstripes more than most other Mets fans. But taking the orange out of the Mets' color scheme? That's a new one. I would imagine that th...

Opinion: I'm not a liberal
Look, I'm a Mets fan because I was a Mets fan when I was a kid. I rooted for the Mets probably because my parents grew up in Brooklyn and Rockaway and therefore rooted for the Dodgers. I like to think I'm a Mets fan because they have better philosophy, but I know in my heart that it's really the color...

Opinion: How to Suck-Proof the 2009 Mets: Massive Expenditure on Relief
He’s closed for the Colorado Rockies, and for three of four years, has posted a strikeout rate of better than one per inning, including 82 strikeouts in 62 1/3 innings in 2008. His walks are always low, and amazingly, he allowed just three home runs all season—in other words, New York’s 2008...

Opinion: Draft Notes from Brooklyn
In any event, here are some notes about a few of the members Mets’ draft class currently at Brooklyn, all college players: One of the most intriguing selections the Mets made was centerfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis, the top-ranked prospect from the NAIA. Nieuwenhuis is a big centerfielder wi...

Treading Water
Still, the Mets picked a bad time to start slumping. With series against the Cardinals, Yankees and Phillies in the next two weeks, the Mets will need every advantage they can get to emerge from these nine games atop the NL East. What's up with the Mets? Eric tries to get to the bottom of it.
