With their first pick (9th overall) in the 2005 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, the New York Mets selected right-hand pitcher Mike Pelfrey. Considered by many to be the most talented pitcher in the draft, the junior out of Wichita State University concluded his collegiate career with an 11-2 record and 1.47 ERA in 16 games striking out 121 batters in 117 innings, while allowing 24 walks and 75 hits. The 21-year-old, 6’7” right-hander brings an arsenal that includes a fastball that reaches 97 MPH, a better-than-average changeup and a tight overhand curveball. Pelfrey joins 2004 first-round selection Phillip Humber to give the Mets two promising pitching prospects in their farm system. ... [Read More]

NYC Comptroller - Press Releases
A prior audit, issued in January 2003, found that the Mets underreported $13,475,218 in advertising revenue, $4,870,964 in concession and wait service revenue and $17,044 in Skybox revenue. In addition, with regard to payments to Major League Baseball, the Mets deducted $47,411,806 from their reported revenues, rather than the $19,645,398 to which they were entitled. The January audit noted that the Mets still had not paid $83,186 as part of a previous 1997 assessment. As a result of both, the Mets still owe $3,381,816. ... [Read More]

On Monday, October 16th, New York took one giant step closer to the highly anticipated Subway Series following the New York Mets triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game Five of the NLCS. After a brilliant three-hit, complete game shutout, Mets' ace Mike Hampton gave his team more than they needed as they blanked St. Louis by a score of 7-0. This was Mike Hampton's second win in the NLCS, a series in which he pitched 16 scoreless innings, earning him the honor of Series MVP. The Amazin's dominated this game from both the field and at the plate. In Game Five, every starting position player for the Mets got at least one hit off of St. Louis starter Pat Hentgen, who pitched only three and two-thirds innings allowing six runs on seven hits. Along with Hampton's masterpiece, some other Mets offered impressive performances in the series. Edgardo Alfonzo, who was the model of consistency, hit safely in his 11th straight postseason game while compiling 16 career RBI, a Met record. Timo Per ... [Read More]

2003 Since winning the National League Wild Card in both 1999 and 2000, along with their World Series appearance in 2000, the Mets have failed to make the playoffs for the third year in a row. The Mets record of 66-95, a .410 winning percentage, makes for the worst Mets’ season since 1993 when they went 59-103. One of the key reasons for the Mets disappointing record can be attributed to several serious injuries to integral players. Perennial All-Star catcher Mike Piazza missed half of the season with a severely torn groin, while Mo Vaughn and Pedro Astacio were shelved for the season after injuring themselves early in the year. However, there were some bright spots for this struggling team. The emergence of several young players such as Jose Reyes, Jason Phillips, Jae Weong Seo, and Ty Wiggington were the most notable. General Manager Jim Duquette figures to add several key free agent acquisitions this offseason to complement these young players, giving Mets’ fans plenty of reasons ... [Read More]

It seems the Robin Ventura-David Justice deal was merely the start of one of the busiest offseasons in New York Mets' history. The biggest surprise came when the Mets acquired future Hall of Fame second baseman Roberto Alomar from the Indians. The seven-player deal, which centered around Alomar, also included two minor-league prospects from Cleveland coming over to the Mets in exchange for outfielder Matt Lawton, minor-league outfielder Alex Escobar, reliever Jerrod Riggan, and two players to be named later. The deal changes the complexion of both the Mets' lineup and infield as they enter the 2002 season. However, the Mets were not finished revamping their team. They quickly signed former Met outfielder Roger Cedeño to a three-year deal. Cedeño, who set the Mets' stolen base record in 1998, will become the club's leadoff hitter and add speed to a lineup that sorely needs it. With the lineup beginning to take shape, the organization decided to address their pitching needs both through ... [Read More]
