The raindrops will probably have a new look pretty soon. Please bear with me as I attempt some changes in this space.

Boy was I surprised when I saw the cover of this week's ESPN the magazine. None other than the Mets' new shortstop takes center stage, with the good ol' blue and orange design making it look like a custom Mets' edition. Gotta admit it made me happy for no apparent reason. If you missed the Matsui press conference, MLB.com provides a nice recap, as well as some video footage (includes Matsui

Not much doing as we await Matsui's big coming out party. According to NYT, the 3 year, $20.1 million contract Matsui signed "can earn an additional $1 million in incentives." Since most incentives are based on quantity as opposed to quality, Matsui will probably make about $7 million per season. Also, it looks like the jersey number matter is settled, with Reyes getting to keep #7. Once

Thanks are in order for Dave from Baseball Graphs, who pointed out Baseball Direct Scoreboard by Stats Inc., which shows the NL average grounball/flyball rate was 1.29. The major league average was 1.23. Glavine is the only Mets starter who is above that number, and not by much. The rest of the staff is all flyball all the time, and would be better served with improved outfield defense, though

I somehow missed Dan Troy's review of the Mets system last week, be sure to check it out. Don't forget to stop by New York Fan Sites to read an interview with Mets prospect David Wright (reg. req.). Jeremy Heit pointed out Rob Neyer's take on Kaz Matsui at this blog, while Eric Mcerlain, over at Off Wing Opinion, reviews where all the Mets' bloggers stand on the new import. Thanks are in

For everyone who loves that up the middle defense, chew on this: Tom Glavine 1.40 gb/fb in 2003 Al Leiter 0.99 Steve Trachsel 0.85 Jae Seo 0.94 These four pitched 54% of all innings for the Mets in 2003. The Mets starting pitching needs its defense like few others in the majors, and a look at the numbers above suggests an upgrade in the outfield will probably help more than in the

If I had to pick one projection system, PECOTA wins in a landslide, but since its not up yet, and 2004 Diamond Mind ZiPS projections are up, I'll use it to demonstrate some points. Here's what a few infielders project to do in 2004: Player A (age 28): 281/363/423 with 47/68 and 35xbh (9 hr) in 395 ab. Player B (age 24): 261/320/377 with 39/87 and 42xbh (8 hr) in 525 ab. Player C (age 33):

What's not to like about Kaz Matsui? Let me count the ways: 1.) The Mets have managed to turn one of their few strengths, a still developing and soon to be stud shortstop, into a player who has never played second base. Despite being the youngest player in each league the Mets sent him, Reyes constantly adjusted and developed, both in the field and with the bat, prompting mid-season

How bad are the Mets as of this moment? Well, they finished 2003 dead last in the NL East with a 66-95 record. Their Pythagorean W-L, derived from the 642 runs they scored and 754 runs they allowed, say the Mets were closer to a 69-92 team. When your as bad as the Mets, and crazy enough to have illusions about contention in 2004, you celebrate these small victories. The catch is that the runs

Its bad enough I don't post when I say I am, but its even worse when during my procrastination, I fire off a suggestion at Bryan Smith's Wait Til Next Year blog, only to see him do ALOT of work and put together some impressive articles, and I still haven't covered the pickin machine, not to mention the Mets roster. In my defense, since when is it supposed to be in the 60s as we approach

From Gammons's November 9th column at ESPN:What most of the clubs are discussing is moving payroll to create flexibility and allowing the market to settle -- with the Dec. 20th non-tenders a major factor in that market. So most of the deals discussed in Phoenix will be dollar, not necessarily talent-related.I'm sure every front office type in Phoenix was busy telling Gammons that if their

Baseball America continues ranking the top ten prospects in each organization with the Mets today. Scott Kazmir comes out on top, and in case you missed it, John Sickel's also reviewed Kazmir after the season. The Baseball Cube has Doc's minor league numbers, if you want to compare.

Every attempt I make to do a quick write up on Jason Phillips turns into a very long rant on Mets management, and I've already promised to hold off on that topic until they do something stupid this off-season, like the Mariners with Ibanez. While I delay the Phillips commentary, consider reading up on the trials and tribulations of Hanse Cronje. I don't think any one link can do the whole

~Old baseball men. Steve Keane over at the Kranepool Society and Derek Zumsteg at the U.S.S. Mariner sum up my thoughts exactly. He can't be fired soon enough. ~From Peter Gammon's column at ESPN:"We want to help ourselves by signing some free agents," said Mets GM Jim Duquette, "but we can't afford to give up draft choices in our rebuilding process."Let's hope his fingers weren't crossed.

What's better than a good at-bat? Sure a groundball double play at the right time feels priceless, and few things are as exciting as a double that rolls to the wall with a runner on first in a close game. Heck, some people get all worked up after seeing a player hit behind the runner. But me, I take a nice long at-bat every time. There's something about a leadoff hitter working the count full

Jim Duquette begins his official reign as New York Mets GM with quite a bit of work to do. He did well during the season trimming payroll and getting rid of some of the old familiar faces, but the offseason didn't start too well when he let Marco Scutaro and Matt Watson get away for nothing. Here are some of the players and contracts Duquette has inherited for 2004 and beyond: 1. Al Leiter

I seriously considered retiring from blogging on Monday. I know, I know, its only like 10 posts old, but the raindrops got a plug from David Pinto over at Baseball Musings. What more was there to accomplish? This is no small matter. Baseball Musings was the first blog I ever visited, thanks to a link on Rob Neyer's page during the 2002 season. Up until that point I had no idea who or what a

Kazuo Matsui is currently the 27 year old shortstop for the Seibu Lions of the Japanese Pacific League, and the best player in Japan with the departures of Ichiro Suzuki and Hideki Matsui. Matsui, if he decides to come to the majors, differs from other players on the market because he has two things in his favor. First, the team signing him would not lose a draft pick in next year's draft.

Luis Castillo is apparently a certified "leadoff hitter". This label allows him to be judged on a different scale than other players. Its ludicrous to do this, but it happens all the time. Any time you read about him, its all about his speed and how he puts the ball in play and all that other good stuff. I could not care less that Luis Castillo is by popular accounts a perfect leadoff hitter

2003 performance on the big club: Roberto Alomar: .257 EQA Marco Scutaro: .255 Danny Garcia: .224 Joe McEwing: .221 Jay Bell: .198 Rey Sanchez: .157 MLB second basemen aggregate: .259 EQA. The situation is not pretty. Both Diaz and Garcia project to put up something between Joe McEwing and Roberto Alomar if they're thrown into the deep end in 2004. However, they both stand to

I'd like to thank Steve over at The Eddie Kranepool Society, Michael at Michael's Mets Ramblings, and Jeremy over at Jeremy Heit's Blog for sending some readers over to the raindrops. All three have been doing a bang up job during the season covering the Mets and I hope I can provide yet another angle for fellow Met fans. I also want to thank Pete at Baseball News Blog for the link on his

What's a sunk cost? I want to give the Mets front office the benefit of the doubt and assume they understand the volatile nature of a major league bullpen's year to year performance, as most every saberfan understands, and Peter Gammons so wonderfully demonstrates. Jim Duquette spent his first month on the job collecting the very thing a smart organization does in light of the unpredictable

Well, two solid players who stayed below the radar through no fault of their own have already been snapped up by a smarter organization, and I'm afraid a few more might be joining them. With David Weathers and Mike Stanton already signed to expensive contracts, Scott Strickland coming back from an elbow injury, and John Franco itching for another season, bullpen spots on the 2004 Mets will be

Well, that didn't take long. While I'm learning the finer points of blogging, the Oakland A's have claimed Marco Scutaro and Matt Watson off waivers. So while the Mets front office will say things like: "We made mistakes in evaluating, there's no question about it. You never know when the time comes when all of the sudden that unbelievable talent diminishes just a little. It's certainly a

It seems the Mets brass has gathered in St. Lucie this week to prepare for what should be a very busy hot stove league. At some point a GM will be named, followed by a new pitching coach, and then the fun begins. The front office will have to evaluate the organization top to bottom before planning and than executing on an off-season plan. I'll be evaluating everyone from the expensive old men
