Mets Exhibition Takeaways
The New York Mets played a pair of exhibition games against the New York Yankees over the weekend as both teams ramp up for Opening Day this week. While I would’ve loved to see the Mets at least play one more exhibition game prior to Friday, we’ll settle for two and send our undivided attention to Friday’s afternoon opener against the Atlanta Braves. But first I wanted to point out a few takeaways from each game this weekend that I thought needed attention. Continue reading

5 Prospects That Could Make An Impact For The Mets In 2020.
For the most part the Mets starting lineup, starting rotation, and most of the bullpen is set, barring any sort of injury during Spring Training 2.0. However there are still a couple of bench spots that could be up for grabs, as well as a couple of potential back end spots in the bullpen avaliable for Opening Day. I’m also under the assumption that the Mets will put a few of their top prospects on their taxi squad in order to avoid stunting any development due to no Minor League baseball occuring this season, as well as having them avaliable in case a need arises due to injury during this abbreviated season. Let’s take a look at a few of the top prospects who may make it up to the Major Leagues at some point during this 2020 campaign.

Yoelkis Cespedes Is The Jarred Kelenic Band-Aid.
The younger half-brother of Yoenis Cespedes is almost ready to make his U.S. debut with an upcoming skills showcase for Major League clubs in both Florida and Arizona sometime in March. Yoelkis Cespedes has been described as a “five tool outfielder with above-average tools across the board,” by MLB.com. There is intrigue by both MLB executives, scouts, and fans to see the younger Cespedes’ display the skills that have had him the talk of the international market since he defected from the island last summer. If the Mets ever needed somebody to add to their organization to remove the hurt of losing another young and projectible five-tool outfielder, then look no further. Continue reading
The Curious Case Of Jed Lowrie.
One of the biggest moves the Mets made last offseason was inking Jed Lowrie to a two-year $20 million contract. Lowrie was coming off an All-Star season with the Oakland Athletics, and he was expected to fill an important role around the infield at various positions due to his defensive versatility. At this point nothing has turned out as planned at all for the Mets, as Lowrie only made a total of 8 pinch-hit plate appearances last season, due to battling a wide variety of lower body injuries that nobody could have forseen. Continue reading
Is Rick Porcello The Missing Piece?
For the most part over the past couple of seasons, the Mets have struggled to get consistent results from the 5th spot in their starting rotation. With the likes of Jason Vargas, Chris Flexen, Wilmer Font, Corey Oswalt, among others, the back end of the Mets rotation has yielded disapointing results. Enter Rick Porcello, who not only grew up a Mets fan, but who looks to slide into the 5th spot of the Mets starting rotation. Continue reading
