Might as well get this one started. I found categories where current Mets players rank in the Top Fifty. In offensive categories, it's a lot of Nimmo, Alonso, and McNeil, with the occasional Lindor. There's very little longevity among pitchers now that deGrom and Lugo have departed. These are the guys who we hope to see moving up in the ranks this season: BATTING Games: Brandon Nimmo 39th (608) Pete Alonso 46th (530) Jeff McNeil 47th (516) At Bats: Brandon Nimmo 37th (1,973) Pete Alonso 38th (1,963) Jeff McNeil 43rd (1,837) Runs: Brandon Nimmo 21st (335) Pete Alonso 27th (310) Jeff McNeil 40th (258) Hits: Jeff McNeil 31st (563) Brandon Nimmo 34th (530) Pete Alonso 39th (512) Doubles: Jeff McNeil 21st (121) Brandon Nimmo 29th (tie, with C. Granderson, 106) Pete Alonso 45th (tie, with B. Gilkey, 90) Triples: Brandon Nimmo 11th (tie, with A. Pagan, 23) Jeff McNeil 49th (tie, with four other players, 9) Home Runs: Pete Alonso 7th (146) Brandon Nimmo 33rd (tie, with J. Olerud, 63) Jeff McNeil and Francisco Lindor 45th (tie, with three other players, 46) Runs Batted In: Pete Alonso 17th (380) Jeff McNeil 45th (tie, with B. Huskey, 214) Brandon Nimmo 47th (213) Walks: Brandon Nimmo 20th (tie, with J. Stearns, 323) Pete Alonso 33rd (223) Strikeouts: Brandon Nimmo 17th (529) Pete Alonso 20th (499) Total Bases: Pete Alonso 22nd (1,050) Brandon Nimmo 35th (871) Jeff McNeil 37th (840) Extra-Base Hits: Pete Alonso 17th (241) Brandon Nimmo 29th (192) Jeff McNeil 32nd (176) Stolen Bases: Francisco Lindor 43rd (tied with two other players, 26) Brandon Nimmo 48th (tied with two other players, 23) PITCHING Games: Edwin Diaz 25th (216) Strikeouts: Edwin Diaz 48th (356) Saves: Edwin Diaz 6th (96)

That's too bad, but it's nice when a player returns to the team where he had his former glory.

Anthony Rendon? Andruw Jones? Al Oliver? Alan Alda?

Eric Chavez is the Bench Coach. Danny Barnes is... some other kind of coach.

"Assistant Major League Coach"? Is this something new?

36 years old. Free agent. .237/.316/.384 with the Brewers last year. Played 134 games. 580 plate appearances. 25 doubles, 17 homers, 66 runs, 69 RBI, 8 steals. Very likely to be better than Ruf!

Among Newsday covers, MISERY no longer has any company. With today's elimination of A NINTH TO REMEMBER, following yesterday's elimination of MOOD SWING, the cover featuring the anguished photo of Francisco Lindor in an inverted V posture is Newsday's last hope for a fourth consecutive championship. There are still three polls open from the third round, but they all feature clashes between Daily News covers. Our Elite Eight, therefore, will consist of seven Daily News covers and one from Newsday, an unprecedented imbalance.

That seems really sincere.

The lyrics are supposed to be unchanged except for the inclusion of the name of a Mets player.

Baty, Baty, he's our man! If he can't do it, Escobar can! Escobar, Escobar, he's our man! If he can't do it, Vientos can! Vientos, Vientos, he's our man! If he can't do it, Mauricio can! Mauricio, Mauricio, he's our man! If he can't do it, Guillorme can!

Should make for an interesting tabloid cover or two mañana for sure. For our consideration in November 2023: http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/2023/20230111_NSD_02.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/2023/20230111_NYDN_02.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/2023/20230111_NYP_02.jpg>

Yesterday All my troubles seemed so far away Now it looks as though they're here to stay Because I believed in Jason Bay

And we can't be certain that the Mets can be as cavalier about Correa's salary in 2034 as they were about Robinson Cano's in 2022. A lot can happen in twelve years. By 2034, the team may be under the control of Steve Cohen's daughter Lorinda.

I was working part time at the Five and Dime My boss was Mister McGee He told me several times that he didn't like my kind 'Cause I was like Dillon Gee

A lot of talk about trading Escobar, but I'd keep him as a reserve infielder, right-handed DH. It would be silly to ditch Escobar and keep Ruf.

Well, I get the Wild Card.

He's not going to be a player in Queens; he's going to be a bench coach in Syracuse.
