2006 25-Man Roster

[Guest Edgy DC]

Think Willy's going to tolerate Perisho's crookit cap?

Sent to the Dodgers		Acquired from the Dodgers		Changed Positions	Promoted
Starting Pitchers	Starting Pitchers	Relief Pitchers		Starting Pitchers	Relief Pitchers
Seo	Hamulack	Sanchez	Schmoll	Zambrano	Ring

This appears to over-fill the 40-Met roster, so I'm guessing that Hamulack or somebody is going to be removed. Until he is, I'm keeping him on the 25 as the second lefty in the pen.

Five free agents remain. The Mets haven't resigned any (and are highly unlikely to).

Sanchez sure doesn't seem to have a look that's going to fly with the Yankees. I mean the Mets. I keep forgetting.

Oops, the Mets sent Hamulack away also.

He's probably inducing vomiting.

[MFS62]

Just got back.

I had to go out of town for a funeral - my dad's last surviving sibling - his sister. She would have been 89 today. May she rest in Peace.

My condolences 62.

[MFS62]

Thank you.

Sorry to hear it.

I hope the Mets win one for her.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pouring over the wires: the Cairo deal has been finalized.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Was that today?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Announced today:

Thanks

[MFS62]

It seems that Donald Trump took less time to select an apprentice than it took for that deal to be finalized.

The free agents can't possibly come back until May, right?

[smg58]

What about the other guy in the Seo trade, Steve Schmoll? Never mind, I see him in the 40.

Do we know if they're going with six relievers or seven?

[Elster88]

Isn't it Tejeda, not Tejada?

[smg58]

You say Tejeda, and I say Tejada, Tejeda, Tejada, Tejada, Tejeda, let's call the whole thing off...

You keep that up and you'll have to spin off a new thread about "what is Fred Astaire's uniform number?"

Therefore, let's keep the calling off off.

Now you saw that coming, didn't you Elster?

We'll double check on the Tejeda-Tejada conundrum. I'm sticking six reievers in there right now because, as far as know, only four batters have options --- Reyes, Matsui, Wright, and Diaz --- and none of them are likely to go down to make way for reliever number seven. Diaz could go down for one, but I don't think the information we have now projects that.

What I fear more is that Tike Redman perhaps having no options, and therefore getting carried over Diaz. That would be unfortunate.

[Elster88]

I think my first question got lost in the shuffle. Is it possible for any of the free agents to be brought back to the team before May (or whatever month is in the rule)?

Good point. Your guideline rings true in this example.

I think no (regarding the May question), but I'm not closing the books on them until I hear that they're signed elsewhere or announce a retirement or something.

Although I did close the books on Ishii upon his release, so sue me. I'm just looking for a more complete severence --- closure, if you will.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I play it pretty much the same way when I record the comings and goings on the UMDB.

There's no exit for Piazza and the others yet, even though the Mets have severed the connection. There's still the extremely unlikely possibility that they'll resign with the Mets on or after May 1.

[Elster88]

I'm all for keeping the pictures up, too. Just wanted to be sure that my understanding of the rules was correct. I always muck them up.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Some days, I log on and Piazza seems to have more beard than the day before. It's strange

]What I fear more is that Tike Redman perhaps having no options, and therefore getting carried over Diaz. That would be unfortunate.

couldn't Redman be carried over Chavez? They fulfill the same function: LHed CFer.

I'd really like to see Heath Bell get a serious look. If he outpitches Bradford and Padilla (and the other RHed middle guys), he should get the job.

pen (6):
Wagner
Heilman
Sanchez
Bell
RH - Padilla? Bradford? Parra? shmoll? wylie? fortunato?
LH - Ring? Oliver? Feliciano? Perisho?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Basically, I don't see Chavez or Redman as having options (thougth I've been surprised before) and I suspect the Mets will deal one of Chavez, Redman, or Diaz before camp breaks.

[seawolf17]

They gave Bradford $1.4 million. He's on the 25.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I had figured that Bradford was slotted for the 8th inning spot, which left me all the more perplexed at the "need" for Sanchez.
