Mets report: Inside pitch

The Mets planned to name Chip Hale their new third base coach after the World Series, the New York Daily News reported. Hale, 44, spent the previous three seasons in that role with the Diamondbacks.

Razor Shines, who served as the Mets' third base coach last season, will remain on the staff. However, Mets officials wanted someone with more experience in the third base coaching box after Shines had a rough 2009 season sending runners.

Shines could succeed dismissed Sandy Alomar Sr. as bench coach, but the Mets are still mulling making an external hire for that role. They're interested in former Arizona manager Bob Melvin, the Daily News reported.

If the Mets don't hire another coach, Shines would move to bench coach and Sandy Alomar Jr. would go from catching instructor to first base coach.

The Mets have been retooling their minor league staffs as well. Tim Teufel, who most recently managed Class A St. Lucie, is expected to skipper Class AA Binghamton in 2010. The Mets also plan to bring Wally Backman back to the organization as St. Lucie's manager.

Ex-Met Mookie Wilson is expected to rejoin the organization as a roving minor league instructor. Another former Met, John Stearns, has been in dialogue with team officials about a minor league role as well.

Hale was a 17th-round pick of Minnesota in 1987. The former infielder played in 333 games with the Twins and Dodgers, hitting .277 with seven homers and 78 RBI in 575 at-bats.

While we all knew that this was an eventuality (given the $9.1 million dollar price tag), Adam Rubin reported today that the Mets have officially declined Putz's option. Hats off to Omar on this one. Maybe he should have listened to those of us out there that wanted Houston Street instead.

We gave up

I'm a Mets fan. Let's start there.

I want many things for this ballclub especially this off-season, but have a feeling that we aren't going to see much more than moderate signings for the team going into opening day 2010.  Instead I do see them making some mid-season moves during the trading deadline since there are lot

I am as passionate about the Mets as the next guy, but we have to really start thinking realistically!
Sometimes it's tough to read some of the threads on this board because there are a lot of dreamers out there that come up with crazy ideas, potential line-ups for 2010, trades, etc. Most of which will never be.

My question is why hasn't David Wright been stated as on the trading blocks. I know he has been the healthiest of the three major fielders, but with his decline in power (steroids not being used anymore?) and his increase in strikeouts doesn't make sense to me. Mind you I love the guy and think he is a stud, but wouldn't we be ...(more)

Aight so the offseason begins and honestly all the SP is in our division. + our division might be the most competitive in the MLB next year. But what SP staff do u think has the edge?
PHILLY
1. C Lee [ there for a full year now]
2. C Hamels[can he bounce back to Ace form?]
3. J Blanton
4. J.A Happ [Solid SP, could he repeat an 09 season?]
5. Moyer/Pedro/

It started with an off-season watching the Yankee$ overspend for 3 free-agents. Each one received 30-40 more than FMV and that was done(IMHO, smartly) to blow the other teams out-of-the-water and kill any fair negotiation. The Yankee$ went for the throat and won big-time. IMHO, baseball and it's salary structure lost.

Then came the joke known as the WBC. Is there any d

I was flipping through the channels surfing for the various college games tonight, when I happened on the MLB Network and their presentation of the AFL All-star game. I happened to glance at the guy coming up and it was Ike Davis. He faced a lefty and on a 2 strike pitch sat back and drilled a single to right-field on a curve ball. The commentator(I swear I'm not making this up!) said his swing re ...(more)

Alright I have to say this. About a month ago I listened to the interview Mike Fransesa had on the FAN with Omar and Jeff Wilpon and when they got on the subject of Daniel Murphy I was alittle disapointed. It appeared as if the two of them weren't ruling out using Murphy at first as there everyday starter. I was so glad whe ...(more)

The Big Apple’s other team has descended back into the depths of mediocrity the past two years. There has not been a word about the team going into rebuilding mode, but Beltran, arguably the best defensive center fielder in the game the last few years, has $18.5 million left on each of his remaining two years in 2010 and ’11. He also has a full no-trade clause.

Interesting deal, if nothing else.  J.J. Hardy might have been a great low risk / high reward guy to replace Luis Castillo if one of the other GM's in baseball acquired his contract in a cocaine-fueled fit of recklessness.  Not sure if there was an oppo ...(more)
