A Mets fan since birth, Joe Janish began MetsToday in 2005 to provide the unique perspective of a high-level player and coach -- he earned NCAA D-1 All-American honors as a catcher and coached several players who went on to play pro ball. As a result his posts often include mechanical evaluations, scout-like analysis, and opinions that go beyond the numbers. Oh, and he's often a bit cranky.

i thought teams like the Pirates and Royals did this kind of thing. This is a new low for this organization. I guess the Dodgers are paying for the Wilpon Christmas party.
he was a fan favorite.
It’s going to be really awkward when he returns to Citi Field. I’ll obviously be rooting for the Mets to win but at the same time hoping he does well.
A class act and one of the most beloved Mets never to wear a uniform. Good luck, Carlos!
yaay maybe now we will have a extra amount of money to go a little further in the bay contract [lol]
Apparently Omar needed airfare to get home from Indy.
Nearly 3 weeks into the spring and he hasn’t given up a run yet. It’s beginning to look like Darren O’Day all over again. If only the Mets were as good at choosing guys for the roster the last two years as they have been at making Rule V picks…
Oh well, not like the roster has any holes for guys with no injury histories. Are former team doctors still under contract but not currently on major league rosters available for Rule V drafts? Maybe the Mets should go after Frank Jobe in next year’s Rule 5…and keep him on the roster all year.
