Mets shortstop Jose Reyes could be sidelined until May or June, according to new reports coming out of spring training today. He has not played since March 4, when he was sent back to New York for medical tests, and while it was initially thought his overactive thyroid wouldn't prove too much of a distraction, it has now emerged that he may not even resume playing baseball for eight weeks. With Carlos ...

The '86 Mets came into the season with a point to prove. They had finished runner-up in the NL East the past two seasons, but they had shown steady improvement under Davey Johnson after the miserable years with George Bamberger and Joe Torre at the helm. Darry Strawberry had grown into an instant power hitter since bursting onto the scenes in 1983, and with Ron Darling, Lenny Sykstra, and Dwight Gooden ...

With the first spring training games just days away, I was happy to see an invitation for a fantasy baseball league sitting in my inbox. I'd been mining bits and pieces of fantasy data for a few weeks now anyway, a sure-fire way to know that despite the snow, baseball is on its way. Like ...

If you were looking to pick your greatest ever Philadelphia Phillies lineup based on single-season offensive performances, where would you start? Do Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins, and Chase Utley deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Von Hayes, Juan Samuel, and Larry Bowa? Is Chuck Klein the greatest outfielder ever? Is the past worth more the present? Is power more important than speed? It all points to one all-encompassing question ...

After a quiet series of winter meetings and an eerily nondescript Christmas, the New York Mets finally took the plunge on Tuesday with their acquisition of Jason Bay. While specific details remain unconfirmed by the Mets' hierarchy, ESPN is reporting a guaranteed four-year, $66 million deal with a vesting option for a fifth year in 2014.

Is power more important than speed? Is the past worth more the present? It all points to one question ...
