    I hope they keep Verlander and Quintana. Along with Senga, that will give them three starters. I don't know where they go after that; they'll need another four options, maybe including Peterson and Megill, but I hope those two aren't in the Top Five. I agree that a mix of youth and experience is best. One of the things that concerned me about 2023 was two guys in the 40 years old/$40 million neighborhood. Let's not do that again.

    Another eight. I couldn't think of a Cub with 3,000 hits. My guess of Ernie Banks failed. Phillies/Indians: Jim Thome 29% Phillies/Cubs: Ryne Sandberg 11% Phillies/MVP: Mike Schmidt 28% A's/Indians: Bartolo Colon 8% A's/Cubs: Dennis Eckersley 8% A's/MVP: Reggie Jackson 15% 3000 hits/Indians: Nap Lajoie 21% 3000 hits/Cubs: -- 3000 hits/MVP: Willie Mays 6%

    I think the thing that will linger with me the most is his Game 1 start against the Padres.

    Meanwhile, there are reports that the Mets and Astros are deep in negotiations about Verlander.

    Right now the Mets need outfielders more than infielders, especially if Canha and Pham are on the way out.

    Andy Martino says Luisangel Acuna would be included in the deal. He's 21, and having a solid season in the AA Texas League. #71 prospect in all of baseball. Born on Darryl Strawberry's 40th birthday.

    Yet another eight for me. I picked Don Buford for the Red Sock/Oriole. I should have picked Don Baylor. Or Damon Buford. Or Damon Baylor, if such a person exists. White Sox/Red Sox: Carlton Fisk 15% White Sox/Braves: Claudell Washington 0.5% White Sox/Cy Young: LaMarr Hoyt 24% Orioles/Red Sox: -- Orioles/Braves: Davey Johnson 3% Orioles/Cy Young: Jim Palmer 87% 20 wins/Red Sox: Cy Young 3% 20 wins/Braves: Warren Spahn 5% 20 wins/Cy Young: Tom Seaver 2%

    Especially all of the left-handed-throwing first basemen. You can be pretty sure they were never catchers or third basemen.

    I think that's the question. Is it allowed to designate the PTBNL in the way suggested above? It may or may not be.

    The Harry Chiti thing likely wasn't prearranged.

    I wanted to do Sparky Anderson for Tigers/Reds.

    They look like they could be brothers.
  17. Benjamin Grimm
    I would have preferred getting someone closer to the big leagues, maybe a AAA outfielder or starting pitcher, but I have to assume that the Mets made the best deal that was available to them.

    I only got a six this time. I whiffed on the entire bottom row with the Rockies. Tigers/Pirates: Richie Hebner 1% Tigers/Reds: Ray Knight 0.4% Tigers/200K: Mickey Lolich 3% Rangers/Pirates: Al Oliver 6% Rangers/Reds: Jim Kern 0.2% Rangers/200K: Nolan Ryan 72% Rockies/Pirates: -- Rockies/Reds: -- Rockies/200K: -- Turns out only three Rockies pitchers have had 200 strikeouts, and I wasn't likely to have guessed any of them.

    He means that the Mets aren't playing in DC tonight. They're playing in Queens.

    Another eight for me. There are only five Padres who hit 40 homers, and unfortunately, Manny Machado wasn't one of them. Cardinals/Giants: Jack Clark 11% Cardinals/Padres: Ozzie Smith 16% Cardinals/Gold Glove: Keith Hernandez 3% Angels/Giants: Dave Kingman 0.6% Angels/Padres: Dave Winfield 5% Angels/Gold Glove: Jim Fregosi 0.9% 40HR/Giants: Mel Ott 2% 40HR/Padres: -- 40HR/Gold Glove: Willie Mays 9%

    =MFS62 post_id=132855 time=1690405061 user_id=60] One person will be staying put. MLB just announced Rob Manfred had his contract extended and will be commissioner until 2019. Later

    I think goo can be slimy.

    I had Jerry Grote as my Astro/Royal.
