    Just Darryl.

    Gooden and Valentine.

    Fonzie, Walker, Darling. And a "not yet" to Howie Rose.
  4. Benjamin Grimm
    I only voted for Frank Cashen. Gary Cohen gets a "not yet." The other guys are all "no".

    I see that the Mets don't anyone in either category, most likely to improve or least likely to improve. (I was afraid we'd see David Wright in that latter category.)

    I'd kinda like to think that they're naming the bridge after the defunct ballpark, instead of Bill Shea.

    Calling Reyes a future Hall of Famer is certainly very premature. But calling him a pimple is the other extreme. He's been a very good player, one of the best non-pitchers the Mets have ever had.

    I don't think they'll get "Roy Hallway" either. (Who is he?)

    He's probably appalled that the two pieces of her bathing suit don't match.

    Wait...! NO votes for Jerry??? WTF?

    By the way, how do you pronounce "Jauss"? In my head, I'm hearing it rhyme with "mouse" and with a traditional J sound at the beginning. But it could, I suppose, start with a Y sound if the name has kept a traditional European pronunciation.

    Not all contracts have "zero tolerance." Some have "one tolerance" and some have "two tolerance." Some even go as high as "seven tolerance."

    Who is or isn't the bench coach won't have an impact on whether or not Jerry gets fired during the 2010 season. If the team isn't doing well, the Mets won't say, "Well, we have to keep Jerry because we don't think his bench coach is ready to step in." There are any number of people who are readily available and can do the interim thing.

    I think 65 years ago today Tom Seaver was more involved in burping and diaper changes than he was with baseball.

    I think we've known all along that the Mets would go for pitching. There were also reports this week that the Mets (and others, perhaps the Red Sox) have inquired about Lackey's medical records.

    We're well above that. You're still missing 68 cents from Reyes, and $9,333,333.33 from Delgado.
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    In addition to the players listed above, these Mets also spent time on the DL in 2009: Angel Pagan, Tim Redding, Alex Cora, Ryan Church, Ramon Martinez, Fernando Martinez, Jon Niese, Fernando Nieve, and Gary Sheffield.

    You missed Delgado... PlayerMoney for NothingBeltran$7,602,443.00Delgado$9,333,333.33MaineReyes$4,574,845.68PerezPutzSantanaSchneider$1,209,877.00Wagner$7,777,777.78WrightTotal$30,498,276.79 Also, I didn't realize we were taking this to the penny, so I had shorted Delgado by 33 cents and Reyes by 68 cents. That's been fixed, above.
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    I have Reyes down for $4,574,845 (missed 121 games) and Delgado for $9,333,333 (missed 126 games).
  25. Benjamin Grimm
    Oliver Perez. Also, a couple of weeks of David Wright. We'd then have to prorate those amounts by number of days missed, add them up, and see how close we are to the $43 million. EDIT: Also, John Maine missed a lot of time, but his salary wouldn't be in the neighborhood of those other guys.
