About Phil »

My name is Phil Hoops. I am a die hard New York Mets fan, who enjoys watching and writing about the ball club. I currently write for Dominick DiFucci's blog, Dom D's Mets Fan Blog, as well as Mets Merized Online. I would definitely recommend checking out both sites, as from time to time I post exclusive articles there that are not found anywhere else. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Cabrera isn't going to cost as much as Gonzalez. Gonzalez is one of the best deals in baseball in terms of salary. The Tigers lost a...
