ex-met todd frazier is now on the best baseball team in sussex county, nj, as he's recently joined the sussex county miners to keep his body warm and ready for olympic glory.



he seems like such a down-to-earth guy. out there, having fun. talking with all the minor leaguers, the umps. made time for the fans before the game, signing baseballs and baseball cards. having failed to adequately plan for the occasion, i had to run out to the gift shop, buy a ball, and run to my car to get a marker, too, but i managed to get a nice signed miners ball, and the marathon family got a picture with him too.



luckily, i'm too dumb to think of anything to say. so i just smiled bigly and dumly as we stood there in the aura of a major leaguer.



it was a doubleheader. he went 0-3, clearly swinging too hard in what i can imagine is a terrible no-win situation, but had a nice play at third. he finally picked up his first hit over the weekend, a double.



the miners, by the way, just moved to the frontier league, which is now officially a partner league of mlb. so, big-time-adjacent!

Wilson Ramos may shed his stripes, having been DFA'd by Mike Hessman's Tigers.

Wilson Ramos has passed through waivers and is getting his unconditional release.

I would bet that Nido's performance would place him above the median of NL second-string catchers this season.

Overall, yes but take away those two weeks (which you can't, they count) and he is bad. Regardless, is he better than Ramos?

One starting pitcher option is off the table, as for Mets minor leaguer Mickey Janis has been purchased and brought to the majors by Baltimore.

He's only knuckleball pitcher in baseball.



Later


And he
PITCHED!



He got treated like AAA Jannis, not Rumble Pony Jannis, but-- hey! He pitched!

Grant, it will be recalled, went to Atlanta in 2015 to help deliver Kelly Johnson and Juan Uribe.
