    Is this really the kind of stuff he does?

    Wright now has 991 hits, three behind Jerry Grote, six behind Howard Johnson, and nine away from becoming the eighth Met to reach 1,000.

    So why was Mejia pitching the 10th instead of Rodriguez? I suspect it was because Jerry was holding Frankie back until he had a "save situation," as if the potential 11th or 12th inning was more important than the actual 10th inning. Maybe that's one reason (certainly not the main one, though) that home teams win more extra-inning games. The home team can't possibly have a save, so the manager is freed from managing around that stupid statistic. The sooner they replace Jerry with a smart guy, the better. But I'm afraid they'll just replace him with another mediocrity.

    Shawn Bowman is not an option for anything anymore: TORONTO -- The Blue Jays added some infield depth on Wednesday, claiming third baseman Shawn Bowman off waivers from the Mets. After being acquired, Bowman was optioned to high-Class A Dunedin. Bowman, 25, appeared in 12 Spring Training games this season for New York before being designated for assignment on April 5. That eventually opened the door for Toronto to step in and claim Bowman, who is a native of New Westminster, British Columbia. Originally selected by the Mets in the 12th round of the 2002 First-Year Player Draft, Bowman spent last season with Double-A Binghamton. Over 91 games, he hit .294 with nine home runs, 24 doubles and 44 RBIs. Bowman was a member of Team Canada during the '09 World Baseball Classic, but he did not appear in a game. With the additions of Bowman and Cuban shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria, who officially signed a four-year contract with the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Toronto's 40-man roster is at capacity.

    Santana is probably wishing that the Twins had traded him to Beirut!

    Six games, six different POTG's. Will they be able to keep this up for 162 games?

    Good grief.

    I think he already has most total bases in a season.

    I haven't rolled this out yet, so consider this a sneak preview. Here's where Ed Kranepool ranked at the end of his career.

  21. Benjamin Grimm
    I'll probably go to bed around the third inning, so I'm less excited than you guys are!
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    That's pretty cool. As for Kranepool, he's held that record longer than anyone would have guessed. It's been more than 30 years since he played his last game!
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    I noticed that too. It seems that Yahoo doesn't know who Valdes is. (They even have him listed as Valdez.) His pitching line score is all zeroes.

    Oops, I almost forgot to post this... Tomorrow will be the first Wacky Wednesday of the 2010 season. Voting will close for three games, those played against the Nationals this past weekend: Schaefer POTG 04/09/10 Mets 8, Washington 2 Schaefer POTG 04/10/2010 Washington 4, Mets 3 Schaefer POTG 4/11/10 - Nationals 5, Mets 2 If you haven't voted yet and intend to, please try to do so sometime today.

    I don't know if the 20-day thing that I mentioned in another thread is accurate or not. (If Davis stays off the big-league roster for the first 20 days of the season, his free agency gets delayed by a year.) I can see the argument, if that's true, for keeping him in Buffalo until April 25, and I'd just lean more towards Tatis and less towards Jacobs for the next 12 days, then reevaluate. My guess is that Jacobs will end up getting released; either when Davis gets promoted or when Murphy gets activated. If Davis comes along before Murphy, then I think Catalanotto is also in jeopardy once Murphy and Davis are both on the 25-man.
