I’m Reading: about 1986, the Outfield, and Offense at Citi Field

Dan from the Mets Police remembers the ticker tape parade held for the Mets on October 28, 1986.

Meanwhile, Paul over at Mets Fans Forever dissects the Mets outfield, and feels Carlos Beltran is the “one sure thing.”

…without question Paul, provided his knee can hold up…even though i like Jeff Francoeur, Beltran is the only one out there right now that can be depended on for offensive and defensive production…

Check out the Happy Recap, where James performs a thorough analysis on offensive statistics at Citi Field, and the conclusion is that the statistics between Shea Stadium in 2008 and Citi Field in 2009 are remarkably similar.

Speaking of this topic, Ted Berg, in a post to his blog TedQuarters, says that there is “not much evidence to suggest Citi Field diminishes offense nearly as much as it is purported to.”
