Grand Central Mets can be overwhelming to the uninitiated. Where many sites have blogs, or forums, and sometimes both, Grand Central Mets’s scope extends far beyond that and offers many fan-specific features you won’t find elsewhere. This guide will walk you through the site and its sections. Grand Central Mets News: This is the front page of the site, and the place you will find news and analysis from our stable of dedicated Mets writers. You can read and then comment on any article in this section. Notes & Rumors: This section features shorter pieces, including low-impact news such as a minor-league promotion or a brief stint on the injured list, as well as all free agent and trade rumors. This section is hopping in July and December. Grand Central Mets Forums: These operate much like traditional internet forums (for those of us born in the 1900s). It’s all user-generated content where people are free to talk baseball all day, every day. Unlike many places on the internet, basic human decency is expected and will be enforced. This is a place to talk baseball without the drama and nastiness found elsewhere. User Blogs: These are user-created blogs that look and read much like our front page news, though any Grand Central Mets user can create their own blog and be read by thousands of like-minded fans! If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at baseball writing, this is the place to do it. You will receive built-in readership from day one, allowing you to hone your craft. Grand Central Mets Videos: The counterpart to our front-page articles, this is where you will find our multimedia content, both news and analysis. Those are the five largest sections of the site. But we’re only getting started… Guides & Resources: Here, you will find a collection of useful resources, including stadium guides, an introduction to visiting spring training, a history of team ownership, a gift-giving guide, and more. Active Roster & 40-Man Roster: We maintain roster pages for both the 26-man (active) roster and the 40-man roster, updated nightly. Bullpen Usage Chart: Stay on top of bullpen usage with this handy chart that shows reliever usage over the past five days. The Activity Feed: This is a highly customizable page that many users bookmark as their primary launching point into Grand Central Mets’s content. You can select which content to show and which to ignore, and then save your feed preferences. Top Prospect Rankings: We have a dedicated page featuring the top 20 Mets prospects, which includes brief scouting reports, updated statistics, and recent articles and videos to keep you informed about your favorite prospects. Rank Your Favorite Prospects: Unlike most other publications, Grand Central Mets involves the community in ranking prospects. We hold open voting a half-dozen times a year, keep an eye open for the next round! Mock Draft Board: Assembled and maintained by Jamie Cameron, this draft board is a valuable resource for tracking potential draft picks and gauging the industry's collective view of them. It is updated and maintained from April through draft day. Fan Polls: One of the newest interactive features of Grand Central Mets, we update polls regularly, and you’re allowed to vote once a day. Let us know what you think of the Mets organization, its players, and personnel today! Offseason/Trade Deadline Blueprint: Have you always dreamed of becoming an MLB general manager? If so, check out our blueprint page, which is active during July and throughout the winter. Build the Mets roster to your specifications, then share it with other Grand Central Mets users for discussion. Become A Grand Central Mets Caretaker: Want to support the site at a higher level?
