Anyone that has seen New York Mets first baseman Ike Davis play the game knows that he has the ability to become an all-star, but Mets fans are going to continue to wonder if he will ever be able to play up to his potential.
Ike Davis is a former first round draft pick of the Mets, and he has shown flashes of brilliance during his time with the team. Davis struggled the whole first half of the 2012 season, but he was able to return to

As the Mets head into the home stretch of another disappointing season, the focus naturally turns to next year. Unfortunately, the 2013 Mets are likely to look very much like the 2012 Mets, so expectations should be set appropriately.
As it stands now, the Mets have no real outfield. Scott Hairston has done a good job this year, but he’s never been an everyday player. Mike Baxter is a good bench player. Andres Torres is an OK bench player. Jason Bay is done.
So, what can the Mets do? There’s not a lot of marquee outfield talent available on

Citi Field is the new home for the New York Mets. The exterior of the stadium was designed with Ebbets Field in mind. On the inside, all the seats are green, which is a tribute to the original home of the New York Mets, the Polo Grounds. This new location is a state-of-the-art design, but it hasn’t helped the Mets much on the field. The Mets simply have trouble scoring runs. This would be okay if they had a good offense, but that is far from the

For a franchise that has been in existence as long as the New York Mets, they have not really had a plethora of superstar players. Most baseball experts are willing to accept that Tom Seaver, a pitcher from 1967-1977, is the greatest Met player of all time. That fact is supported by the fact he is the only NY Met in The Baseball Hall of Fame.
Other great Mets include Jerry Koosman, Daryl Strawberry, Gary Carter, Mike Piazza and Dwight Gooden. Most of these players only played a portion of their career in New York.
David Wright has

Johan Santana has shown time and time again, how dominate of a pitcher he can be. After a disappointing 2007 season, Santana was traded to the New York Mets. Injuries have plagued his playing time with the Mets, even forcing him to miss the entire 2011 season.
In 2012 however, Johan had once again shown how great of a pitcher he could be. One June 1st, Santana pitched a no-hitter against the defending champion St. Louis Cardinals. It was

Although it is a possibility that Bobby Valentine returns to coach the New York Mets, it is highly unlikely. Valentine has struggled considerably in Boston. The Red Sox are highly disappointing 13 and a half games back in the American League East standings. Valentine had boasted that he would destroy the AL east leading New York Yankees. That is not going to happen. They are only 2 and a half games away from being the worst team in their division.
There has also been a lot of chatter in the Red Sox clubhouse.
