Take A Hike, Son -- ST Roster Cuts 2017

[G-Fafif]

First batch of those told to redirect their talents to the minor league portion of Port St. Lucie: P.J. Conlon, Kevin McGowan, David Roseboom, Corey Taylor, Logan Taylor, Phillip Evans, Luis Guillorme, Dom Smith and Champ Stuart.

[Edgy MD]

Kevin McGowan did a fist pump when he realized he got is Edge of 17 thread in before getting cut.

[G-Fafif]

The future rock of the franchise, Amed Rosario, is just another pebble on this latest cutdown day. Joining him in the big pond of options and reassignments are Wuilmer Becerra, Chris Flexen, Marcos Molina, Chase Bradford and Adam Wilk. Good on ya, fellas, maybe see one of you before long.

[Frayed Knot]

So we no longer 'got Wilk', is that what you're telling me?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Wilk may have been the biggest threat to Jim Aker's record. (Most games into a season before a new Met debuts, 60 games, 1974).

By which point Aker didn't know Jack.

[Benjamin Grimm]

This is why you're so far ahead in the Countdown Quiz! I tend to think everybody's name is "Jim".

Jim Mann, Jim Gosger and Jim McAndrew thank you.

[Edgy MD]

He's still probably a pretty good threat to be the next debutante. I'd put Rowen first, followed by Gorzelanny, Sewald, Wilk, Trajeiron, Carillo, and Becerra.

Well, except for Jim McAndrew. I keep thinking his name is "Asdrubal."

That would explain why Lost Nation is so dang hard to find.

Tim Tebow goes two for three and makes a nice overhead catch of a liner in deep RF ... then gets cut from major league camp.
Clearly the inability of some folks to handle his religious beliefs are at the root of all this.

[G-Fafif]

Per DiComo this AM:

More Mets cuts: RHP Ben Rowen OF Travis Taijeron IF Gavin Cecchini IF Matt Reynolds RHP Erik Goeddel Mets have 42 players left in camp.

[Edgy MD]

Goeddel is the big slice there. With him and Rowen gone, a bullpen spot has Montero's name all over it.

[Frayed Knot]

And/or Smoker, especially with Familia's status still uncertain.

[Edgy MD]

I figure Smoker is competing with Edgin, but yeah, there could be room for both if Familia gets a vacation.

[G-Fafif]

Xorge Carrillo is sent down.

By all informed guesses, Smoker's in. It's Edgin vs. Montero vs. field for that last spot, it seems.

One article today suggested that Sewald is in the final mix.
It might only be for the period that they're minus Familia but that gives him a couple of weeks maybe and you never know what'll happen in that time. Time enough to make a helluva n'impression as they used to say.

[G-Fafif]

Dark horse Paul Sewald sent back to the minor league paddock. Unless an eleventh-hour acquisition arises, no wholly new Met will head north for the first time in 43 years.

[G-Fafif]

Kevin Plawecki to catch Paul Sewald and staff in Las Vegas. Sliced.

[G-Fafif]

Sean Gilmartin is officially minor.

Gilmartin's gf blames Obama for the demotion.

The question is why the dick a news channel would even put her on TV.
