Niemann-Mockus?

[Edgy MD]

After 26 years and a World Series ring with the Mets organization, Randy Niemann cuts ties to join Bobby Vee in Boston as assistant pitching coach, leading me to suddenly suspect he's our Mystery Met Maligner.


Et tu, Rande?

[Edgy MD]

Buzz that a couple of St. Lucie assistants have jumped ship or been cut loose or something.

Niemann would make a lot of sense as the Mystery Maligner, actually, for the same reasons as HoJo.

[Edgy MD]

Even moreso as he was in the fold when the story hit and jumped the day it broke.

You leave after all those years it's something, sounds like the mystery writer all right.

Neimann was one of those guys like Al Jackson and that infielder from the 60s.... Chuck Hiller ... who stuck the around the org forever. I was shocked to learn that Niemann only became Met properly relatively late in his playing career, he had Astro bloodlines.

Kevin Morgan is turning into one of those guys.
