Soothsaying for Sixteen: Ty Kelly

[Edgy MD]

Hi, I'm skinny, sensitive, and artistic Mets reserve infielder and internet funny man Ty Kelly. You may think, that a minor league journeyman won't taste a real New York bagel this year, but hey, I'm funny, and between me and Ty Cobb, we have 4,189 hits.

I hit .179 this spring, so that isn't going to get me my big break, but I'm a grinder, and I think I'm going to grind out a season worthy of the name Ty. What do you think?

Skinny, sensitive, artistic, and funny? Is Jim Lange doing sabermetrics
now? Nothing Metly in 2016.

He will be the kind of player a Wally Backman can appreciate. That's good for TY, because he will be playing for Wally this year. If Wally gets promoted, he will wish Ty a fond good-bye and leave him in the minors. He won't appreciate him THAT much.

Ty is living up to his first name and then some, hitting .421 through his first 72 plate appearances for Vegas this year.

Congratulations to Ty, and his many sponsors.

Funny? Sure. But sensitive too.
