The Captain. What to expect from the heart and soul of this club? The goal this year will be to get him into 130 games this year. As to be expected, the computers had a lot of problems projecting Wright … Continue reading →

In a major move this off-season, the Mets swapped Jon Niese for Neil Walker and this move makes a lot of sense. The Mets needed an upgrade at second base due to losing Murphy and not getting Zobrist. A long … Continue reading →

Here’s a tough projection: Ruben Tejada. Thanks to Walker and Cabrera, and keeping Flores, Tejada will struggle to see consistent playing time this season. He provides a buffer in case something goes wrong so the Mets don’t have to go … Continue reading →

The Mets lost the game today in the bottom of the 9th, but that’s not the story for today. Matt Harvey made his first start since the World Series and he pitched 3.0 innings, allowing 1 ER over 3 hits … Continue reading →
