Peter Alonso Is Dominating Double-A

New York Mets first base prospect Peter Alonso may have a few guys ahead of him on the depth chart, but he’s certainly making his best case to do some leapfrogging pretty soon. The 23-year-old is dominating Double-A Binghamton, slashing .357/.456/.625 with three home runs, six doubles, and 10 RBI through 16 games thus far. […]

Matt Harvey Makes Bullpen Debut

As we all know, New York Mets starting pitcher Matt Harvey was demoted from the starting rotation to the bullpen after a disastrous start in order to make room for Jason Vargas’ 2018 debut on Saturday. On Tuesday in St. Louis, Harvey made his relief debut against the Cardinals. The numbers may not tell the […]

Breakout Night For Jay Bruce

New York Mets outfielder Jay Bruce has struggled to start 2018, likely due to the reoccurrence of his ongoing battle with plantar fasciitis in his foot. A disabled list stint has always been a possibility, but it certainly doesn’t look needed at the moment. Bruce broke out in a big way in a 6-5 victory […]

Jason Vargas To Make Debut On Saturday

We already knew that New York Mets starting pitcher Jason Vargas (hand) would make his debut as a Metropolitan over the weekend, but now we know the exact day (Saturday). Vargas has been out since near the end of spring training after suffering a fracture in his non-throwing right hand. He was hit on a comebacker […]

Jason Vargas Not Great In Rehab Start

Results of rehab and minor league starts for major leaguers making their way back from injury should be taken with a grain of salt, but they’re always worth checking nonetheless. New York Mets starting pitcher Jason Vargas (hand) made what is presumably his final rehab start on Monday. Health-wise it was great, but results-wise it […]

Todd Frazier, Jay Bruce Sitting On Sunday

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier is getting the day off on Sunday, in part because he was spiked in the leg during Saturday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves. Outfielder Jay Bruce, who has been dealing with plantar fasciitis, is also getting the matinee off – this one moreso being a routine day […]

Michael Conforto’s Batting Average Dropping Near .200

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto started off the season hot upon his return, homering in his first game and picking up base knocks in five of his first six outings. Since then, however, Conforto unfortunately hasn’t done much of anything. Since April 13, Conforto has earned only three hits in 34 plate appearances. Yeah, […]

Amed Rosario Hits Third Double In Four Games

Young New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario has been hot and cold to start 2018, but as of Friday, he’s trending towards hot again. In a 5-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves, Rosario finished 2-for-4 with two doubles, one run scored and one RBI. Of course, he also struck out once, but what’s an Amed […]

Mets Haven’t Made Decision On Matt Harvey

The New York Mets may not be committing to another start for starting pitcher Matt Harvey, but they haven’t made a decision on him yet, either. In the latest chapter of Harvey’s destruction, he was knocked around to the tune of six earned runs across six innings pitched, raising his ERA to a horrid 6.00. […]

Jason Vargas Will Make Next Rehab Start Monday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jason Vargas continues to make his way back from a hand injury suffered during spring training. The next step in his recovery will come in the form of a rehab start for Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday. Assuming all goes well and he emerges from the rehab start unscathed, one […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire - H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

Matt Harvey Not Guaranteed to Remain in Rotation

After New York Mets starting pitcher Matt Harvey allowed six runs and eight hits over six innings in a loss to the Braves, manager Mickey Callaway stated that he is uncertain whether Harvey would make his next start. The pitcher formerly known as the Dark Knight has been abysmal all season, pitching to an 0-2 […]

Matt Harvey Destroyed Again

Things are going from bad to worse for New York Mets starting pitcher Matt Harvey. Making his fourth start of the season against the Atlanta Braves on Thursday, Harvey was rocked for the third straight outing. He allowed six earned runs on eight hits and a walk across six innings pitched, striking out four. The […]

Rookie Report - Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 3)

The service time benchmark for teams to secure an extra year of team control came and went late last week. Somewhat surprisingly, nothing about the rookie landscape has changed; Ronald Acuna and Nick Senzel are still hanging out in the minor leagues with Kyle Tucker, Gleyber Torres, Michael Kopech, and Austin Hays. This list will […]

Short But Successful Night For Steven Matz

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz got off to a rough start on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals. After an infield hit and a walk, Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman crushed a three-run shot that put an early damper on Matz’s night. However, Matz retired the last 10 batters he faced prior to his […]

Yoenis Cespedes Breaks Slump

It may have only been two games, but it certainly looks as if New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is breaking out of his horrific slump. Cespedes finished 2-for-5 with a grand slam, two runs scored, and four RBI in the Mets 11-5 victory over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Cespedes seemed to be putting […]
