A week's worth of Amazin' Avenue posts, which aren't as entertaining as District 9 (but it's close).
-
Is Francoeur The Cure For The Punchless Mets? - mnbv uses Base Runs to analyze some guy named Jeff Francoeur. We should post about him more often.
-
False Hustle - Sam addresses Omar Minaya's "paperwork" comments and reiterates that it's time for a change in the front office.
-
Final Thoughts On Close-Mindedness - One of my favorite posts of the season, not so much for the post itself, but for the great comments. I can't remember seeing so many green (rec'd) comments on one thread. Read through it again if you have time - it is a fine example of the intelligent readers/commenters at AA. Keep up the fact-based discourse about the Mets. The fans and talk radio oriented Mets blogosphere need it.
-
A Tour Around SB Nation - This semi-regular feature showed up this week, providing links to the best of SB Nation.
-
Figgins And DeRosa And Sherman, Oh My! - Eric looks at Joel Sherman's early suggestions to improve the Mets this offseason. Sherman made some good points for a change, earning some goodwill. I then read this piece in Sunday's Post and all goodwill evaporated.
-
Twitter / Kevin Burkhardt On Francoeur - Kevin should probably stick to what he knows best - sideline interviews and calling game action during those sideline interviews.
-
Ruben Tejada Profile - METSMETSMETS looks at the 19 year-old middle infielder, ultimately classifying him as a B- prospect.
-
The Most Glorious Moment Of The Season - What brand of beer was dumped on Dick Torino?
-
Free Agent Compensation - Mark goes all FanPost in this FanShot (flagged - read the Community Guidelines), telling us about Mets who have a shot at being free agents this offseason and their rankings.
-
Jeff Francoeur's "Change Of Scenery": Improvement Or Hot Streak? - Sam gives in and finally writes about Francoeur. It's about freakin' time. Seriously though, this is post is terrific. Hit Tracker, UZR, .gifs, pictures, Netscape, grission.com - it's all here.
- Bobby Parnell's Day On - squid92 utilizes PitchF/X to give us some insight on Parns's foray into the rotation.
