Unfortunately, D.J. Carrasco
is still likely to get a shot in the bullpen to start the 2012 season.
The Mets do have plenty of better relief pitchers, but if there’s any silver
lining from 2011, it’s that even a full season of data from a relief pitcher is
still a small sample. It's tough to look at his numbers and chalk them up to
bad luck and poor defensive support, but at least some portion of his BABIP
should probably be attributed to each. Given the fact that he'll turn 35 in
April, it seems highly unlikely that he'll be very good this year, but a return
to a season resembling his career norms wouldn't be shocking. http://www.amazinavenue.com/2012/1/19/2717538/2012-mets-player-profile-d-j-carrasco
Dickey said the group surpassed their goal of
$100,000 with the help of a gift from Jeff Wilpon, the chief operating officer
of the Mets. Before the climb, Wilpon and the Mets had publicly objected to the
endeavor out of fear that Dickey might be injured. After he made it safely down, Dickey said one
of the first texts he received was from Wilpon. “He offered his congratulations
and made a generous contribution,” Dickey said. “I understood their concerns,
and I thought it was a great gesture on their part to help out in the end.” http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/20/sports/baseball/after-kilimanjaro-familiar-ground-for-mets-dickey.html?_r=1&ref=sports
Ike Davis, New York Mets
– Mets first baseman Ike Davis finished an injury plagued 2011 season with
seven homers, 25 RBIs, 20 runs scored and .302 batting average in just 149 at
bats. That’s coming off of a rookie
season in 2010 where he smacked 19 homers and 71 RBI. Davis didn’t play after May 10 last year due
to an ankle injury and then a series of unfortunate medical mistakes by his
doctors. The Mets are moving in the fences
at Citi Field. That can only help a 6′
4″, 230 pound power hitter like Davis http://www.fantasybaseballdugout.com/2012/01/20/sleepers-first-base-2012/?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed
Mike Carp, Seattle Mariners — No, Carp is not going
to start in front of Justin Smoak, but he does qualify at first base. Carp finished the 2011 season with 12 homers,
46 RBIs, 27 runs scored and a .276 batting average in just 290 at-bats. On a team that is desperate for offense,
expect Carp to be a regular outfielder in 2012. http://www.fantasybaseballdugout.com/2012/01/20/sleepers-first-base-2012/?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed
