Pitcher C.J. Nitkowski has logged just shy of 500 major league innings in an 18 year professional career. While the journeyman never truly created a name for himself in the bigs, some of you probably recognize his name from the 2012 Mets, where he briefly attempted a comeback in our minor league system. While his …

There are no substantial rumors yet today, but feel free to discuss anything Mets-related in this thread. Sherman did write a piece about the Mets not trading Ike Davis this off-season, but that’s something I’ve been sure of since last season. So, yeah, good article there buddy.

Lucas Duda fractured his right wrist while moving furniture and had surgery in NYC yesterday to repair the fracture. Beat writers are reporting he should be cleared for Spring Training. One has to wonder what this does to his trade value, as he could have been one of the Mets’ top names on the block …

In possibly the only semi-relevant news for the Mets, potential reliever target Joel Peralta has resigned with the Rays, taking him off the market. And uh some beat writer wrote a fluff piece about “at least 12 teams” being possibly interested in Dickey. Oh really, so half of baseball might want a potential Cy Young …

Over the past 10 seasons the average MLB player salary has risen by 4.39% per season. This number is always changing depending on the economic climate (since 1990 salary inflation averages 9.46% per season, but in the past 5 years it’s at 3.18% per year and last year’s rise alone was 4.10%). However, it’s safe …

I hope everyone is staying safe over the next couple days! If you still have power and internet, maybe this can keep you busy for a few minutes. MLB Trade Rumors just posted its projects arbitration salaries for 2013, so I think this is a good time to take another look at what the Mets …

This game was a roller-coaster, but while the Phillies blew two-run leads twice, the Mets failed ever take the lead on their end. Instead of the standard re-cap (you can all check out the box score), I’m just going to give some positives and negatives of the game… Positives: Rottino and Hairston each hit their …

And so Jonathon Niese took the mound in the first start since signing a five-year extension with the Mets. One might say it was his resurrection into the core of the Mets. The Mets took an early lead in the bottom of the first, when Tejada led off the inning with a deep double to …

The New York Mets announced today that they have dropped ties with their Gulf Coast League affiliate (link). This leaves the Mets with eight minor league affiliates, which is standard for a Major League Baseball club. Now I did a bit of research and tallied the number of affiliates for each MLB team, here’s the …

In the 2011 season the Mets’ bullpen racked up an ERA of 4.33, good for 3rd worst in all of baseball. Last night Sandy Alderson took measures to greatly improve the effectiveness of the team’s late-inning pitchers. Alderson traded Pagan for a replacement as well as a new reliever Ramon Ramirez, while he also signed …
