A blog by LoHud about New York Mets baseballDavid Wright Reaches 1,500 Hits
It was easy to lose sight of David Wright’s accomplishment yesterday, with all the pitching prospects flying around. But let’s take a moment and look at Wright’s 1,500 hits. He’s become the fastest Met to reach 1,500 hits since… no one. No one in Mets history has ever collected more… Read More →
Lots Of Roster Moves! Even A Trade!
So. Collin McHugh is a Colorado Rockie. Eric Young, Jr. a fast man who the metrics say can play 2B, LF, CF and RF, but not well, is coming back. Young is fast, though, and was a big prospect at one point. For McHugh, this is a good move to… Read More →

The Best Minor League News Isn’t Zack Wheeler
The best development in the minor leagues for the Mets this season isn’t Zack Wheeler. It’s Rafael Montero. To be sure, seeing Wheeler stay largely healthy, more than hold his own at Triple-A, and head to the Mets to debut this Tuesday is excellent. But really, Wheeler had already pitched… Read More →
