About the New York Mets

The Mets & The Piazza era
While the 1990s started horribly for the Mets, things finally started looking up in 1997. Their switch hitter catcher, Todd Hundley, who had broken several records the year before, had another great season and seemed to be on his way to stardom. While they missed the playoffs by only four games, they improved by 17 games over 1996. However, when Hundley went down late in 1997 with a devastating elbow injury and needed Tommy John surgery, the Mets needed a catcher. During 1998, it looked like the Los Angeles Dodgers were going to be shopping their superstar catcher, Mike Piazza, for a trade rather than pay the exorbitant salary that 1997's MVP runner-up was going to demand. In a puzzling move, the Dodgers sent Piazza to the Florida Marlins who had won the World Series in 1997 but were relieving themselves of every high salary they could to alleviate their claimed financial problems. The Marlins' move made more sense when, just a week later, they re-traded Piazza to the Mets for Preston Wilson and two other young prospects. The Dodgers had no free agency problem, the Marlins had young players with small salaries and the Mets had their new lineup-anchoring catcher.

In 1999 they defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks to advance to their first NLCS since 1988, only to lose to the Atlanta Braves in 6 games. In 2000 they defeated the St. Louis Cardinals to win their fourth ever N.L. Championship. In the 2000 World Series they were defeated in the much-hyped "Subway Series" by their crosstown rivals, the New York Yankees. Even though they lost 4 games to 1, they scored only three fewer runs than the Yankees. This was the first Subway Series since 1956, when the Yankees defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers.

In the seasons following the 2000 World Series, the Mets struggled mightily as the result of several poor player acquisitions, including Mo Vaughn, Roberto Alomar, Roger Cedeño and Jeromy Burnitz. These acquisitions were made by then General Manager Steve Phillips, who was fired during the 2003 season. Phillips was credited with building the 2000 World Series team, but also blamed for the demise of the Mets' farm system and the poor play of the acquired players. The Mets record in 2003 (66-95) was among the worst in baseball, this was the year that Piazza missed two-thirds of the season with a torn groin muscle. His steady decline around that time mirrored the Mets' fortunes for the first half of the decade.

In 2004, the Mets signed Japanese shortstop Kazuo Matsui. General Manager Jim Duquette brought in Kris Benson for Ty Wigginton at the trade deadline just before sending jewel pitching prospect Scott Kazmir to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for the disappointing Victor Zambrano. The Mets also had two young infielders with bright futures- David Wright and Jose Reyes. The Mets finished 71-91 in 2004. After the 2004 season, the Mets named former front office man Omar Minaya as their general manager. After the season, the Mets fired manager Art Howe and hired New York Yankees bench coach Willie Randolph as the manager. Randolph became the first African-American manager in Mets and New York history. During the off-season, the Mets signed pitcher Pedro Martinez and slugger Carlos Beltran.

The Beltran and Martinez signings helped the Mets in pitching and offense, but the bullpen blew many games that led to losses. The bullpen's closer was Braden Looper, who blew 8 saves and had a 3.94 ERA in the National League. The bullpen also had young and inexperienced pitchers.

Although Piazza was not re-signed following the 2005 season, his impact on the Mets during his tenure with the team will not soon be forgotten. His contributions to the team as a hitter were unparalleled by anyone in the history of the Mets. In the face of adversity, Piazza's talent and often his character and flair for the dramatic as well would often will the Mets to victory. He will likely be remembered as one of the greatest players in Mets history.

The Mets & The Omar Minaya Era
After the improved 2005 season, Minaya took advantage of the Florida Marlins payroll-reduction effort by trading for one of the premiere sluggers in the National League, Carlos Delgado and All-Star catcher, Paul Lo Duca, in exchange for top prospects Mike Jacobs, Yusmeiro Petit, and Gaby Hernandez. The Delgado deal came despite Delgado shunning the Mets the previous offseason, saying he was offended by how Omar Minaya used their shared Hispanic heritage as a reason to join the Mets. Delgado has announced that he will forego his political activism and stand during "God Bless America" at Shea Stadium so as not to disrupt the team chemistry.

Minaya showed a will to improve the Mets' biggest weakness in 2005, their bullpen, signing star closer Billy Wagner and trading starters Kris Benson and Jae Weong Seo for hard throwing relievers Jorge Julio and Duaner Sanchez. But despite improving the quality and depth of the bullpen, the Mets lost 2 good starting pitchers. As the 2006 season draws near, starting pitching has become the biggest concern for the Mets. Ace Pedro Martinez has an injured toe, but Nike is developing a cleat that should enable pain free pitching. The five pitchers that figure to be in the 2006 rotation are as follows (in order): Pedro Martinez, Tom Glavine, Steve Trachsel, Victor Zambrano, and Aaron Heilman.

Mets Stadium plans
On June 12, 2005 a plan for a New Mets Stadium in Willets Point, Queens in the parking lot of Shea Stadium was announced. Construction of the new stadium is expected to be paid by the Mets, while "infrastructure improvement" costs at the site are to be paid by the city. The final mix of private and public funding has not been settled. As of 2005, Shea Stadium is the sixth oldest stadium among the 30 facilities in major league baseball. It is nearly as old as Ebbets Field was when the Dodgers abandoned it.
