[Valadius]

Kevin Morgan, Mr. Met on Line One...

Cory Vaughn made his kaboomy kameo yesterday in 96.

Indeed. Shouldn't cost him more than a hundred bucks or so.

86 Backman, Wally

Nice.

Mookie takes back 1, reports Rubin.

Excellent!

That may be the first time in team history a guys uni number was re-assigned before his body was cold.

Not for nothing but Rubin's only saying that it's possible now, this is written for people who might not have already recognized such a potential. I kinda think jumping on it is a little distasteful, if I were the Mookster I'd wait and debut in 2 weeks.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Agreed.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Taste aside, Adam Rubin says Mookie's flying the unit today in Orlando.

Exclusive photo plus mindblowing stats

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mind. Blown!

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Brad Emaus will wear 4 if he makes the 25 man roster, which has a proud recent history of middle infield flops.


OE: It appears that I am the only Diamond-Knight-Fairy to ever play for Mets.

3D - Granted, I haven't had my coffee yet. But what does that mean?

My CPF player ranking thingie when I wrote it was this person.

Gotcha

Rubin tweets that Beato has requested No. 27 in honor of Juan Marichal but notes its currently assigned to Boof Bonser

[metirish]

Bad news for Boof.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Boof requires a better number than 27 anyway. I see him rocking something like 33 or 13 or something.

[Guest Edgy DC]

88 would look like his initials.

Blaine Boyer's also, for that matter.

"Juan Mari-who, now? I don't know nothin' about him. Why are you askin' me 'bout some John Maribel?"

[Guest Edgy DC]

When did MC Hammer play for the Mets?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Boof Bonser?? He didn't even make the team! He may never throw a pitch for the Mets.

I don't think he's entitled to dibs.

Alliterative players merit alliterative numbers.

[TransMonk]

So Izzy gets 44 back from Bay, right?

What will Bay wear?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That's what I've been advocating. If you're Bay, hasn't 44 brought you enough grief? Besides, he needs to make a move to win the fans back, no better demonstration of "class" in the mind of Joe Lunchbucket than to give your number away.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bay unofficially conceded the number back in February.

[metirish]

Not sure where I advocated for the hockey # , either of JCL's FB or MBTN....I liked the idea of 88, doubling 44 and Eric Lindors' #, but as someone pointed out over at MBTN with his concussions would Bay want a # associated so closely with a NHL played dogged by concussions most of his career?

[TransMonk]

Izzy in the bullpen sporting #45.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Boo.

I dunno, is he?
