The Mets' own Marshall Plan

[nymr83]

Ken Burns announced plans for a "10th Inning" addition to his aforementioned Baseball documentary. The new chapter will cover 1994-2008 and will run for about four hours. Among the emphasized topics are Barry Bonds, the 1994 strike, the steroid scandal, Japanese import Major Leaguers, the sport's reaction to 9/11 and the long awaited crowning of the Red Sox as WS champs. The 10th Inning is expected to premiere on PBS this October

Glossing over the Yankees mini-dynasty would be awesome.

He's only making the league minimum, deal with it.[/quote:7b5j6m0f]
Sure, but dilligence is what we want, right? If the A's put an injured player on the wiaver wire, they broke the rules. The Metties contributed a claim fee, a roster spot, and maybe more (Christmas bonus?), and they possibly passed on another player or two in the meantime.

Not much in the scheme of things, but you don't want to get jerked around.

So has anybody figured out yet why Adam Bostick was never given a spot on the 40?[/quote:acwkvf5n]
I haven't.
And Marshall's status could help (Saucy) Arturo Lopez in his quest to make the 25 man roster.

I'll just pause a while to let those words sink in.
