What can you really say about the 2009 Mets? The positives are limited to the opening of Citi Field. But there is hope for 2010, so it's probably best just to move on to 2010. And there's no doubt that there's reason for hope. The team signed slugger Jason Bay and most of the walking injured should be ready for the start of the season.
Edited by Matthew Silverman and Greg Spira, the Maple Street Press Mets Annual 2010 features the best Mets writers from the web and print focused on the topics Mets fans care about. This year's Annual features:
- Pitch-by-pitch scouting reports, with information provided by Inside Edge, that detail what to expect from Mets hitters and pitchers.
- A look at the rest of the NL and how the Mets can get back to the playoffs.
- A reason for hope: Jason Bay arrives at Citi.
- A thorough review of Citi Field's first year from its best and worst moments, to a season review from the park itself.
- There's no doubt the Mets suffered more than their fair share of injuries in 2009, but who is to blame and what can be done?
- An in-depth interview with Adam Wogan, Mets director of minor league personnel.
- The most complete review of the Mets farm system available anywhere, including the top ten pitching and position prospects, the 2009 draft, a feature on first base prospect Ike Davis, and all the minor league stats fit to print.
- A look back at Mets history, from Dwight Gooden's amazin' 1985 to the Mets Team of the Decade, position by position.
And there's plenty more. Just check out the table of contents below for the full lineup. As always, the MSP Mets Annual is 128 pages focused solely on the Mets, featuring full color photos and no ads.

Oh My Doc!
Mets followers thought he was better than Bob Gibson, Ferguson Jenkins, or even Tom Seaver, the man they called The Franchise. And, for that one season 25 years ago, maybe Dwight Eugene Gooden was indeed the best of them all.
