Mets 2013 Roster

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm kinda excited about Lagares suddenly. ROOKIE OF THE YEAR!!!1

[Benjamin Grimm]

Hey, why not?

[MFS62]

Just the first step on the path toward the Hall of Fame career for my kid.

Later

[Edgy MD]

It's Kirk going down.

I'm right and you're wrong and brother, that feels good.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Let's see if Terry uses him out of the bullpen tonight. Yes, I know that Lagares is an outfielder...

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Lagares will wear #12, says Rubin, following in the footsteps of recent RH hitting OF Frenchy and Hairy. Leggy, we should call him?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

100 steals, 49 yerouts for the kid in his minor-league career. "Laggy," maybe?

[Benjamin Grimm]

So who makes way for Marcum? I'm guessing... Familia.

[duan]

josh edgin perhaps?

[Benjamin Grimm]

He would also be a good candidate for demotion, certainly.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Rubin reports that Andrew Brown has packed up his troubles and his underpants and is headed to Las Vegas. Corresponding move to be announced. Ankiel?

OE: Rubin reports that a source indicates that it is Ankiel.

[Edgy MD]

I dunno. I was kinda thinking that Jordanny would be be demoted.

Or detraded.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Ankiel shows up at the ballpark at 6:40 tonight, slips on uniform #22, stretches a bit, hits in the cage, and slams a bases-loaded pinch double in the top of the 9th to plate the go-ahead run in a stunning 6-4 Mets victory. Remember where you heard it first.

Against his old team no less.

[Edgy MD]

We need a third guy to group with Byrd and Ankiel in the allroid outfield.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

never mind.... Rubin has him starting in center, batting seventh.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

wow that went down fast. I kinda thought Brown had the most tenuous hold on his job in the OF but that was in a no-new centerfielders scenario. Is Ankeil in right? That would be a nice pairing with Lagares defensively (and probably awful, offensively).

[Edgy MD]

Burkhardt says he's starting in center tonight, with sort of triples the WOW factor.

[Frayed Knot]

Def surprising to see how quickly this all went down (particularly, what, two days after I dismissed it as an option) although, what did Gary say yesterday?, we're in line to face something like seven straight RHPs.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ankiel asked for #16 for Doc Gooden, as per Guys!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I thought Ankiel had to be at least 36 or 37. He'll turn 34 in July. He made his debut in 1999 just after he turned 20.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Mejia moved to the 60-day DL to make room.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

The Tejada/Quintanilla shuffle is official, per Martino. Omar will wear #3.

[Edgy MD]

Babe Ruth.

[Edgy MD]

Trying to remember the last time I saw that much blood shed in one day. Wish there was one among the three guys called up that felt like a little more than filler.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I know. It just seems like they're shuffling deck chairs.

[Edgy MD]

I'll take it for what it is. I'm a little surprised not to see Flores, but Satin deserves it. A little odd to lose two lefties and gain two righties.

[Guest d'Kong76]

This team just keeps redefining suck on an hourly basis.
