• NY Times: Mets Should Trade For Halladay And Wells

  
  The Mets Report — Authority: 113
  Image by Keith Allison via Flickr A couple of writers that I’ve never heard of at the NY Times are touting the idea of the Mets trading for Roy Halladay and Vernon Wells . I hope that Elena Gustines and Jay Schreiber are only temporarily filling in for Ben Shipgel on the Bats blog there. We need the voice ...

• Artest Correct About New York Pressure

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 148
  This is probably the first and only time you will hear the name Ron Artest on this site. After all, what does the loony forward for the Lakers have to do with baseball? Nothing, but his comments about playing in New York are telling and should be examined. When Artest said free agents “are scared to play in New ...

• Manuel Motivated – Minaya Next?

  
  Mets Today — Authority: 502
  So far, the Mets are making good on their promise to overhaul the entire organization, from top to bottom. It is no coincidence that a number of former managers — such as Bob Melvin and Eric Wedge — were considered for Jerry Manuel’s coaching staff, nor that at least two possible replacements for Manuel (Wally ...

  Yanks and more — Authority: 135
  I waited until the official announcement for the coaches for the 2010 season. Howard Johnson will remain the hitting coach, Dan Warthen the pitching coach and Randy Niemann as bullpen coach. Razor Shines also remains but he was moved from 3rd base to 1st base coach. He had a eventful year at third so I am sure Mets ...

• Locals Playing the Market

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 148
  In prior offseason you would see the local teams focus on a player and go “all out” to bring them in the fold. This offseason I get the sense we will see the market develop and then teams will attempt to execute their plan. Brian Cashman already has told the agents for all the big names to “sit tight” as he ...

• Delgado Holds Key to Second Tier Plan

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 148
  Reports are swirling about the Mets settling for second tier players . The ideal plan would be to sign Matt Holliday or Jason Bay, attempt to acquire Roy Halladay from Toronto, and then shore up the catching position, bullpen, and first base with second tier players. Any other big market team (see Yankees and Red ...

• Whats The Deal?

  
  Seven Train to Shea Mets Blog — Authority: 545
  Posted by Greg Tortora So the winter meetings are around the corner and so far we have heard some interesting rumors already. What is the best option for this team? Do we get the number 2 pitcher the staff needs in support of Santana? Do we bring in the power bat in Matt Holliday or Jason Bay ? Do we make minor ...

• Josh Johnson Could be Avaliable

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 148
  According to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com , the Marlins and Josh Johnson have been unable to reach a contract extension, that could force the Marlins deal him before he becomes a free agent in 2011. All the way back on October 22, I wrote a  post on SevenTraintoShea.com , saying that Johnson could be ...

• Patience Key for Mets in Free Agent Market

  
  Seven Train to Shea Mets Blog — Authority: 545
  Posted by Matt Pignataro As of 12:01 PM EST last night, the signing madness started with 165 free agents. I would say about 99.9% of Mets fans, including myself, want Omar Minaya to be the most aggresive S.O.B this side of the Hudson River during the free agency period, but patience is key for the Mets this off ...

• The Mets Need More Than Matt Holliday

  
  Hot Stove New York — Authority: 422
  In 2006, the Mets were one game away from the World Series. And that’s been their biggest problem the last three years. They still think they’re one game away from the World Series. But they’re not. And they’re not even close. 2006 was their year. It was their chance. Their opportunity. And they blew it. And ...

• The Regression Of Omar Minaya

  
  Mets Merized Online — Authority: 484
  In all of sports, players regress and at least to me it seems that baseball players regress more than athletes of any other sport.  Baseball players regress for any number of reasons: age, injury, failure to adjust to change in the game, etc…  What you don’t normally see is regression of executives.  I feel ...

• Execs: Minaya May Not Have Control Of Mets

  
  Seven Train to Shea Mets Blog — Authority: 545
  Posted by Steve Sidoti According to Joel Sherman of the NY Post , Omar Minaya may not be the man in charge of making baseball decisions for the New York Mets, or at least without definite approval. Peter Gammons mentioned this a few weeks ago, but Sherman was able to dig a bit deeper. On the subject of Minaya, ...

  Wayne Coffey in today’s Daily News has a great two page story on Dwight Gooden and his road back into baseball and leading a life free of drugs and alcohol. Coffey zones in on Doc’ 1985 season which is one of the greatest pitching season in baseball history. I love that Coffey mentions that the Gooden phenomenon ...

• 80’s Rivals Might Be Back at It

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 148
  Many contemporary fans know about the recent Mets rivalries with Atlanta, Philadelphia, and to a lesser extent the Yankees. For those that watched this team in the eighties Mets/Cardinals from 1985-1988 was about as big as it gets. You had Darryl Strawberry hitting the clock, Keith Hernandez returning to Busch ...

  Mets Lifers — Authority: 455
  Chone Figgins is the latest name to pop up on the Mets rumor radar and SI.com is reporting that Omar Minaya met with Figgins agent last night in Chicago. Figgins is a versatile and interesting player that could fill a lot of holes for the Mets, but are they the right ones? He can play pretty much any position in the ...

• A Halladay- Or Holliday- Or Bust for Mets?

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 148
  The discussions and rumor mills are in gear. Who should the Mets sign in this subpar free-agent class? Outfielder Matt Holliday and pitcher Ray Halladay appear to be the players Mets fans covet.  Maybe they should look beyond these two. First, let’s shelve Halladay, unless the Mets are willing to send newly ...

• Thoughts on Mets Catching Situation

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 148
  Right now Omir Santos and Josh Thole would be the Mets backstops if tomorrow were opening day. As much as I value great game calling and defense, two of Santos strengths, I believe he is more of a backup than everyday catcher. Josh Thole seems to have a promising future, but it appears his defense requires a season at ...
