welcome back, otto!

There was an online video where various Mets named a show that they were watching. The answers were predictable except for Ottavino who said: "The Rehearsal" and something like "I'm not sure if I understand it" which was the right perspective on that show.

[metsmarathon]

this makes me feel very much better about our overall bullpen situation, which was the one lingering weakness not named james mccann.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Does that mean that Darin Ruf changed his name to "James McCann"? That will lead to some hilarious misunderstandings next season!

[metsmarathon]

lol true. i think i kinda figure ruf to be better than he was. the same cannot be said for mccann.

The Mets have a couple of hard roster pinches coming up, and appear to have a couple of more approaching at the end of Spring Training.

I had read that the Mets contacted the ChiSox about their closer Liam Hendricks, who is making $14 million.

Since we already have a closer, this move makes more sense.

I also read that the Red Sox are looking for a catcher. Hmmmm Could they resolve two issues in one day by sending McCann for some chowdah?

Ottavino from last year was what Lugo from several years ago was ... so this week's reliever news has an overall positive spin on it.

[Lefty Specialist]

Good. I wanted him back. Wasn't overly expensive, not that Uncle Steve cares.



Need a righty power bat/4th OF/DH not named Darin Ruf.
