In the video below I answer the following viewer question:
go57mets – Is it time that the Mets just man up and eat Gary Mathews Jr.’s contract, and designate him for assignment? I cant bare to watch him strike out again with the bases loaded, while Jesus Feliciano is hitting 403. in Triple A. Its time this guy be brought up. Hes hit well above 300. the past 4 years in triple A and is just rotting. Hes a hard worker, and according to Alex Cora, he always makes a positive contribution to a team.
In the video below I give my thoughts as to why I think Angel Pagan should be the Mets everyday center fielder until Carlos Beltran returns.
In the fourth edition of the “Mets Blogger Roundtable Series 2010” Dave Doyle of Mets Report and Joe Janish of Mets Today evaluate each position of the Mets outfield.
Below is a listing of the top five most viewed stories on OnTheBlack.com for the month of January 2010
1. Early on in January I answered the question: Which Pitcher Should The Mets Pursue. Here we are weeks later and the Mets still haven’t pursued any of them and the list of free agent pitchers continues to get smaller and smaller…
2. As we get closer to the start of the season, I’m going to be asking you guys a number of different predictions for the upcoming season. The first one is how many stolen bases will Jose Reyes have in 2010. To see the results of over 300 votes click here.
3. In case you missed it, check out photos of my Willie Randolph and Cliff Floyd Autograph baseball.
4. In this video post, I try to wrap my head around the trade for Gary Matthews Jr.
5. Jason Bay is easily the biggest off-season move for the Mets (so far). To learn more about him, check out this blog post.
Just wanted to give you guys a few links of some Mets stories I read over the weekend:
-At Metsblog Michael Baron writes about how Gary Matthews Jr was a good teammate in LA. This is good to hear because the last thing the Mets need right now is trouble in the clubhouse.
-Wendy Adair of the Bleacher Report wonders if 2010 is the year for Daniel Murphy To Shine or Fade. I’ve said in the past, if the Mets don’t bring back Carlos Delgado they better have a back-up plan that does not include Murphy playing every day. Murphy playing every day for a team that claims they want to win is unacceptable.
-Over at The Ropolitans, Andrew’s readers have spoken. They have voted David Wright as 2009 Met of the Year. If you recall, when the season ended I picked Luis Castillo as my choice for 2009 Mets MVP.
