McNeil already had considerable equity in two different numbers. He's the team's all-time #68, and he was breathing down Backman's neck for the all-time claim to #6.



I would think he'd want to put Backman in the rearview mirror before going after Mookie. But that's our Jeff.

I'm not particularly comfortable with outfielders in 19. It feels like a guy that's not long for the roster, like Cory Sullivan or Shawn Hare, or two-timers whose second go-around is ill-advised, like Roger Cedeño or Jay Bruce.



Anthony Young is my all-time 19, and I like to see it on rotation grinders and swing men like himself.

19 in the outfield reminds me of Ryan Church. But for me, the classic 19 is Bobby Ojeda.



I don't see McNeil as a 1. I'd give him a number in the teens, if one is available. But last I heard, it's not up to me.

If McNeil were on the Billboard Hot 100, going from 68 to 6 to 1 would be ideal.

McNeil was a pretty good No. 6-- dirty uniform, versatile, organization product, left-handed hitter. All of the key criteria for No. 6 met right there.



19 is a reserve corner outfielder's number for sure.



I like pitchers in 21-- sorta like Clemens but not. Was a good match for Rich Hill.



10 is just kinda eh

Also, reading between lines that aren't really there, you don't issue a guy #1 and then

just trade his ass away after new Collective Bargaining Agreement is in place. Amirite?

Yeah, I read that the same way. Seems to "solidify" his spot a bit, for whatever that's worth. But what the hell do I know.
