2011 Roster

[Benjamin Grimm]

HoJo as batting coach seems pretty unlikely, doesn't it?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yup, but as the staff is officially announced as "on hold," he's holding the place until someone becomes more likely.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Double post.

[Guest Edgy DC]

We have capitation!

This Dusty Ryan guy, besides being potentially the best cowboy name on the Mets since Galen Cisco, may already jump ahead of Mike Nickeas on the depth chart, but until the team gives us an idea which one they are interested in, I defer to the guy on the 40. Six-four: that's a big catcher.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm taking both our claims from yesterday to be nominal favorites to make the roster, but keep in mind that, unless/until Castillo is moved, Emaus joining the team pushes Daniel Murphy toward more outfield time and less infield time. In fact, if it shakes out this way, it'll look like a Willie roster, with infielders serving as backup outfielders.

orange numbers are for guys for whom the team has options available to them. (Beato and Emaus, technically, have options, but they effectively aren't available to the Mets.) Parenthetical numbers are unconfirmed and/or speculative.

The Mets are certainly looking more goteed.

Mookie should totally wear number 1. I don't like seeing him in 51, just like I didn't like seeing Bud Harrelson in 53.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

They need to execute Luis Castillo first, but I agree with you.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Not that the roster above is definitive, but he's also futzing up the division of labor, leaving the team with four outfielders and Murphy and Emaus to fill in. Signs are pointing to him being moved, I think.

[Ceetar]

Why does Oliver Perez not get a number?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Don't know what hap'd there, but it's fixed.

Is Lutz's head really that weird-looking or is that just some kind of bad stretch-job?

It was that stupid prank with the vise in Jr High shop class.
Understandably he prefers not to talk about it.

The Mets director of advancement has long used the promise better photography as a motivating factor to push players to work their way out of the lower minors.

I was waiting to update this when the Feliciano signing was confirmed, but it still hasn't happened. And now his penpal has beaten him to ex-Metmanship.

[Guest Edgy DC]

A curious move today:
1) Yet another move that demonstrates fishing in the talent pool of a former organization of the Mets' braintrust.
2) Hu fills up the last spot on the 40-man roster, so if you're wondering who Carter was cut loose for, look no further.
3) There's currently no room on the roster for Hu and Luis Hernandez and Brad Emaus, yet all would be exposed if they aren't carried north.
4) The presence of all would seemingly recquire the dealing off of Luis Castillo.
5) The dude has certainly hit, and hit consistently, in the minor leagues, though much of it has been in southwestern climes.
6) But (Moneyball, shmoneyball) he has never been much of a walker.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Adam Rubin takes a pretty comprehensive (read: long) look at next year's likelies here.

It strikes me that we've got a lot of similarly-skilled middle-infielders 'round these parts.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, but most infielders are similarly skilled. Similary effective? That's what they need to determine. But if Hu and Tejada are the most alike, good. Hu by Fire may keep Tejada from having to be pre-maturely pressed into service for a second consecutive season.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

As well as providing some cover for the quick release of one Mr. Castillo.

I mean, hey-- that's no way to say goodbye. But it'll have to be.

[Guest Edgy DC]

We've got some interesting finds for the bullpen, and that's good, but it also packs the pen with guys without options, which kind of forces the issue in the rotation. Gee takes a back seat while they try and sort that out and Capuano keeps a seat warm in the rotation.

Capuano also takes over for Chris Carter as the Met Named Chris with a Smart Guy Degree.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Taylor Buchholz was most recently with Colorado, not Boston. You are conflating him with Clay Buchholz of Boston. As far as I can tell they are not related.

Taylor is a PA native who came up through the Phillies system and was once traded for Billy F.U. Wagner. Clay is from Texas and was Billy F.U. Wagner's teammate with the 09 Sawx.

Here's his photo. No, wait... It's the photo service that's conflated the Buchholzes! The photo you have is Taylor, only they photoshopped the Red Sox logo on his hat.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Your projected roster includes seven infielders and four outfielders?

Actually, nevermind. Turns out he was a paper Red Sox this offseason. Though he was released by them already.
