Under the Radar Position Battles

I was going over what I was writing about the bullpen when compared with last season, and unfortunately I don’t think I can make a comparison until Opening Day. I have no idea, outside of the mainstays (K-Rod, Feliciano, Parnell), who will be on the roster. The short summary is that I was pumped for [...] more...

Try These Trades On For Size

After the events of the past few weeks, Mets fans are genuinely concerned about the 2009 season. Injuries have decimated the team, key players have been out for some time now, and their return is questionable at best. Many of the doomsayers are already getting the other teams’ rosters and trying to figure just how [...] more...

Bullpen Blueprint Works in Mets Opener

Just as designed. The formula of Johan Santana for seven innings, . J. J. Putz in the eighth, Francisco Rodriguez in the ninth proves success. Santana only actually pitched five plus innings, with a little Sean Green for four outs in the 6th and 7th inning bridging the gap to our two closers. That makes [...] more...
