Mets Project

In are most recent post, we continue our Mets vs: Phillies prospect match up, this time taking a look at each club’s corner infielders.

            Metsproject is part of an on-going project of a specialized  class I’m taking that focuses in on journalism and communications. I’m a diehard and exceedingly zealous teenage Mets fan. I felt I always more knowledge than the average fan, and that my writing, even at my slender age, could go farther than a few good grades. Consequently, I only got into reading baseball blogs about a year ago, when my blood thirsty obsession like that of an angry pack of wolves for a juicy trade rumor became apparent. After reading those, they were without a doubt reliable sources, but simply covered the day to day team as a whole. When I decided to use a freewebs space as my focus, a Mets blog wasn’t my first idea that came to mind. Instead, I chose to something not so much original, but something different. Therefore, my website is developed to the Mets minor league system and the myriad of prospects that inhabit it. Of course, even when you have a novel idea, you probably have questions about how you are going to exploit that theory. One question you might ask is; “We already have some reliable minor league sources, like Baseball America and Project Prospect, so why read this instead?” The wording may sound a little pert if not obnoxious, however you wan to put it, but it’s a realistic question that even I ask myself. I’m not looking to outdo any other website or reach a certain number of visitors, because with my limited marketing techniques, that would be alien to the website’s nature. The idiosyncratic difference is that my website is developed to the Mets prospects and just the Mets Prospects.

Another question you might ask is; “Don’t most fans that read most blogs about the Mets already know about Mike Pelfrey and Lastings Milledge?” The answer? You’re right most fans do. Consequently, the only time I will do an in-depth analysis of any player along those lines is if I’m doing some type of comparison or a column that fits multiple prospects. In addition, my analysis that focuses in on a single player will not be a picayune player, but simply one that I feel has some type of role on the Big League team.

So, I’ll wrap this up with a preview of what’s come. I will have a few columns and prospect analysis as the backbone as my website. My goal is that within one month, I should be able to provide some comprehensive info about the Mets farm system. Ultimately, if anything, it should be some type of an encyclopedia. (Sorry, I won’t get that far.) However, once the season begins, the analysis and columns will decrease diminutively as my focus will shift to other pages which will provide coverage of the New Orleans Zephyrs, the GCL Mets, and everyone in between. For example, some links you will notice like prospect hot sheet are not available. By the way, there will barely be any gossip on this site because, frankly, I live a rather boring life. Of course, if you do want to read about my personal life, you should check out, www.freewebs.com/liberalgeek. One thing beware; on both websites, I’m either too lazy or lethargic if not haughty and supercilious to simply take the time to do spell check. The weird thing is, typos really bother me, whether in books or articles on the internet. In conclusion, Let’s Go Mets!!!
