Best pick: Jarred Kelenic Cliché, I know, but Kelenic is the only 2018 draftee who will find himself in the Top 10 of our BP Mets midseason list. Add in the fact that he’ll reportedly sign for less than slot and this is a no-doubter. Best value: Bryce Montes de Oca The Mets are presumably going to […]

Stat Preview: New York Yankees, June 8-10
The Yankees have been as good as advertised, trailing only their division rival Boston for the best record in the majors. At five games below .500 and 7.5 games out of first in the NL East, the Mets are coming dangerously close to falling out of contention. The series with the Yankees may not help […]
Jose Bautista and the tale of two teams
In 2011, Jose Bautista led all of baseball with 9.98 BWARP and tied with Matt Kemp for the best TAv with a Mike Trout-esque .357. Since then, there’s been the bat flip that served as yet more proof that sports can induce chilling, inspirational moments, and a series of above-average seasons before the aging curve […]
Analyzing the Mets’ haul on Day Three of the MLB Draft
While Day One and Day Two are followed closely by fans because of the quality and quantity of major leaguers they produce, Day Three of the MLB Draft is fun for a multitude of different reasons. Ben Carsley and Craig Goldstein do a yearly mock draft over at our main site in which they pick […]
Game Recap June 6: They’re dead, Jim
The worst team in baseball is coming to town, they said. Maybe this can help turn the Mets around, they said. At least they can get a couple cheap wins, they said. Yes, the worst team in baseball, the Orioles, came to town, loaded with one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball. The Mets […]
Analyzing the Mets’ haul on Day Two of the MLB Draft
While Day One of the MLB Draft receives all of the fanfare and media attention, there’s a good argument to be made that Day Two is more important to the overall success of an organization. That’s because after rounds one and two, the rate at which teams find major league contributors drops significantly, making it […]
Game recap June 5: No relief in sight
WHO WON: It…wasn’t the Mets WHAT HAPPENED, IT GETS WORSE: If you thought the woes of a 10-18 May would dissipate with a new calendar month, you will not be too pleased to learn that June is and will be much worse. The Mets and Orioles met on Tuesday in ways that only two immovable […]
Analyzing the Mets’ haul on Day One of the MLB Draft
With the first two rounds of the MLB Draft in the books, let’s take an in depth look at the Mets day one haul. The Mets entered Monday night’s draft with the 6th overall pick and the 48th overall pick, placing them in prime position to inject some top tier talent into a system that severely lacks […]
Stat preview: Baltimore Orioles, June 5-6
As frustrating as it can be to be a Mets fan, take solace in the fact that you are not an Orioles fan right now (unless you are some sort of hybrid Mets/Orioles fan, in which case I question your choices). Baltimore has been the worst team in the majors this season, and with the […]
Breaking down the Mets’ most likely options with the sixth draft pick
While the MLB draft certainly lacks the fanfare and media attention of the NFL and NBA drafts, its importance to the future success of organizations cannot be understated. If an MLB team misses on a draft class, it’s unlikely to be immediately detrimental to the big league club, but the future roster ramifications are likely […]
