 Doc Gooden:



Retired all-star pitcher Dwight Gooden pleaded not guilty Monday to endangering the welfare of a child for allegedly driving under the influence of drugs with a child in the car during a May car crash.


Gooden entered his plea at an arraignment in New Jersey's Bergen County Superior Court, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office said. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.


At the time, Detective Lt. John Bakelaar told CNN that the child in the car was Gooden's 5-year-old son. - CNN

The Three Poisons:


The 3 Poisons (Carlos Beltran, Oliver Perez and Luis Castillo): Once the Mets finally do hire a general manager that GM (Alderson) must find a way to get these three off this team! Castillo is done, he can’t hit and he has absolutely no range at 2nd base. Castillo brings nothing to the New York Mets, time to cut ties with him.  Perez should not be on this team, he has done nothing for the Mets since signing that contract. Perez cares more about himself than the team as he repeatedly refused to go to the minor leagues. He didn’t win 1 game in 2010! If you look at the way the Mets played before the all-star break and after the break there’s a huge difference. Beltran decided to finally grace the team with his presence and was supposed to be the spark for this team but unfortunately did nothing other than make outs at the plate and miss balls hit to center on defense. Beltran refused to move over to right field to allow the better player Angel Pagan to play center and help the team. Let’s not forget that these guys also refused to go visit wounded soldiers with the rest of their team. These guys are not team players, they’re hurting this team and it’s time to get rid of them. - link



Mets Coaching:


The entire coaching staff needs to go. Howard Johnson has been a horrible hitting coach. The situational hitting since Hojo took over has been non-existent. It seems like Hojo would rather be their friends than a coach. I get it he’s an 86 Met and the Wilpons are reluctant to fire him. The Mets should just give Hojo a job with a nice title and a good payday and let him go away. Dan Warthen also needs to go. I know the pitching was better than expected this season but I don’t like all the injuries to our pitchers under his reign as pitching coach. I didn’t like that in 2009 he didn’t know about Johan’s latest injury and he didn’t know that Santana was skipping side sessions. I also didn’t like him calling Maine a habitual liar to the press. That’s just something you don’t say. Razor Shines just needs to go. Chip Hale seems to be a decent to good coach but at the same time Ron Darling mentioned many times throughout the season that Hale had been working with Wright and changing his defense. Wright’s defense this year was pretty bad. He committed 20 errors and at times was slow in turning a double play. - metsmerized



Ryan Fraser:


10-18-10 from: - metsminorleagueblog.  - Had to do some chasing to find a scout that’d seen Fraser as a pro… Sounds like he’s a 7th-inning arm if he stays in relief, maybe a setup man if his breaking ball improves enough. But two talent evaluators still want to see him start, even though he pitched exclusively in relief for Brooklyn. He doesn’t have a lot of time to develop, so I’d bet the Mets keep him in the pen and try to push him through the system quickly.
