Harvey believed perfection was possible

Mets Blog | ESPN New York — Seth Wenig/Associated PressMatt Harvey flirted with a perfect game against the White Sox on Tuesday night at Citi Field. Mike Baxter, who caught the ball at the wall that preserved Johan Santana’s no-hit bid 11 months ago, had a feeling history might be repeating itself Tuesday night at Citi Field. So did Terry Collins, who openly said in the dugout as early as the fifth inning that Matt Harvey just might toss a perfect game. “You kind of had that vibe that we were going down that road again,” Baxter said.

Mets Insider: Handling Harvey with care

New York Daily News — Terry Collins still thinks about June 1, 2012. While most fans remember that as the night Johan Santana pitched the Mets’ first no-hitter, the manager is tormented by the idea of letting the lefthander who was coming off shoulder surgery throw a career-high 134 pitches.

New York Mets Preview with Amazin' Avenue's Steve Schreiber

Twinkie Town — Over at Amazin' Avenue, where they talk all kinds of Mets baseball, writes a fellow by the name of Steve Schreiber. He approached me a couple of days ago about exchanging some questions in advance of the Twins-Mets tilt at Target Field this weekend. I asked him about Johan Santana, David Wright, Matt Harvey, and we even touched on when the Mets might be a contending ball club. Thanks to Steve for his time! 1. What's the ideal progression for Ike Davis? Can he make better contact without losing out on his power potential? Ike Davis' offensive struggles have been confounding to say t...

Jonathon Niese aces another test

CBSSports.com Fantasy — After Johan Santana went down with a season-ending elbow injury during the spring, the loss sent the Mets scrambling for an opening day starter, as well as an ace for the pitching staff. Enter Jonathon Niese. The left-hander capably handled the role for the season opener and his first two performances of the year have provided the team -- and Fantasy owners -- additional faith that he can be a frontline starter. Revered for his improved command of the strike zone, Niese has increased his K/BB ratio each season he's been in the majors and posted a career-best 3.16 mark last year. Remarkably, he...

Johan Santana has no keeper value

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Now that the Mets' Johan Santana has been declared out for the year, it's time to make a decision in keeper leagues -- either let him sit on the roster taking up a DL spot, or just cut Santana loose.  My vote goes to cutting him. Thee are plenty of other players you can use that DL spot on -- Michael Pineda, Danny Duffy, Neftali Feliz and Daniel Hudson, among others -- who could contribute this year and also be considered decent keeper candidates for 2014. It's tempting to keep Santana in that DL spot, but he can be had cheap and late next year, probably below what you paid in 2013 (assuming y...
