Yahoo Fantasy Baseball
Anybody interested in a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league for just us Mets fans? If yes then reply by leaving a comment (the link for that is below). If there’s enough interest I will create it and pass along the link to register.
Chris Woodward: Utility Man
Yahoo just posted a scout.com report about Chris Woodward possibly making the team in a utility role. Woodward has been a pleasant surprise in camp. If he can keep it up he could really give the Mets bench a boost.
Catching Up
One of the reasons I haven’t posted in a while is that there’s not very much going on. Of course there’s the usual spring training stories: young guys and non-roster invitees battling for roster spots, nagging veteran’s injuries, watching the new guys, etc. But those are not really noteworthy stories and I didn’t think I […]
The New Mostly Mets
Welcome to the new home of the Mostly Mets blog. Some of you may be familiar with my quest to move Mostly Mets off of Blogger and onto my own domain. My last web host was lousy and I just couldn’t do it while there. But with my new web host I now have everything […]
The Fish That Got Away
Carlos Delgado has signed with the Florida Marlins for $1 million more than the Mets offered. (Actually, it’s been reported that all told the Mets offer would have been worth about $38,000 more but let’s not nitpick.) Delgado’s agent, David Sloan, appears to have used the Mets as a ploy to get more money out […]
Goodbye, Johnny B Good
John Franco signed with Houston the other day finalizing his detachment from the Mets. I’d like to thank Franco for 14 years of loyal service. His best days are clearly behind him (even he realizes that) but I have to say that I’ve enjoyed his presence on this club and appreciate what he gave it. […]
Delgado: To Sign or Not To Sign (or History May Teach Us Something)
I haven’t weighed in on the idea of signing Carlos Delgado yet because I’m really not sure about it. On the one hand there are definite pluses to signing another bat to make the lineup more potent. On the other hand, with a young left side of the infield (David Wright at 3B & Jose […]
Goodbye, Paul Hackett
Jets offensive coordinator Paul Hackett resigned today. Good riddance. I’m glad a change is being made but I’m not one of those who have gotten on the “Hackett Must Go” bangwagon as a result of Sundays overtime loss to Pittsburgh. I’ve been unhappy with his offensive scheemes for a couple of years now. I felt […]
Cameron Accepts Right Field
On their way to the Dominican Republic a group of Mets officials stopped in Atlanta to meet with Mike Cameron. After the meeting all sides were saying the right thing. The basic gist is that Cameron will play right field because it’s for the best of the team. While it’s good news that Cameron’s fallen […]
Big Whoop!
Several media outlets are reporting that Carlos Delgado has narrowed his choices down to 4 teams: the Mets, Marlins, Orioles and Rangers. The source for this information is Delgado’s agent, David Sloane. It’s nice that the Mets are among his choices but I’m trying to figure out how this is news. The same reporters who […]
