    Kevin Mitchell?
  2. Benjamin Grimm
    I'll start with one of the easiest ones: Darryl Strawberry
  3. Benjamin Grimm
    And there's another generation that thinks "Tommy John" is a brand of underwear.
  4. Benjamin Grimm
    Is he a Rookie of the Year candidate? I don't know what other rookies are out there.
  5. Benjamin Grimm
    Better than "Mister Roboto", I guess.
  6. Benjamin Grimm
    It's worth noting that this is a "posting" situation, and that Sato won't be a traditional free agent.

    Maybe Teruaki Sato deserves his own thread.
  9. Benjamin Grimm
    I saw (but couldn't read because of a paywall) a New York Post article saying that the Mets may be interested in Japanese third baseman Teruaki Sato, who they would convert to first base. Lefty hitter, would play next year at age 28. Hit 40 homers in 2025, has 27 so far this season.

    I don't remember the circumstances of David Wright's World Series homer in 2015, but I remember thinking, oh, that's nice that he got to hit a home run in the World Series, not "WOW! That was an important home run!" So I'll guess that one as a low WPA home run.
  11. Benjamin Grimm
    Maybe Gary Carter's second home run in 1986 WS Game Three (or Four?) at Fenway?
  12. Benjamin Grimm
    I can't see why he wouldn't opt out to trigger that raise, unless he's in obvious decline and doesn't think that he'd get as high a salary or as many years under a new contract.
  13. Benjamin Grimm
    I found this: Opt-Out: Contains an opt-out clause after five seasons (following the 2029 season). If Soto opts out, the Mets can void it by bumping his salary to $55 million per year for the final 10 years, raising the total guaranteed value to $805 million
  14. Benjamin Grimm
    That forced escalation isn't by that much though, is it? "Only" a few million a year? Do I have that right? And I think it's after 2029, the fifth year of the contract.
  15. Benjamin Grimm
    Fine by me too. The Mets missed the playoffs by a single game in 2025. Without Soto it wouldn't have been nearly that close.
  16. Benjamin Grimm
    I don't think it will be a rebuilding year either. At least, not intentionally. To contend in 2027 the Mets will need to have a smart offseason, something that, unfortunately, hasn't happened over the last couple of years.
  17. Benjamin Grimm
    I remember a homer by Edgardo Alfonzo in Phoenix in the 1999 NLDS. Don't remember the specifics, however. I think it was a grand slam.
  18. Benjamin Grimm
    No, I was recalling a home run against Bob Knepper in the Astrodome in Game 6 of the NLCS. Am I remembering incorrectly?
  19. Benjamin Grimm
    I think Todd, Lenny, and Benny are all of the walkoffs. I'll guess Darryl Strawberry's three-run homer in Game 6 in Houston.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    About a week ago I estimated that the Mets had to play at around an .800 pace the rest of the way to make the playoffs. Now it's only .786! (33-9). No, I don't think that's going to happen. Not even if I were to go to Peru. But wouldn't that be something?
  21. Benjamin Grimm
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    I don't know if it would approach the Freeman/Olson thing, but the first combo I thought of was Brooks Robinson and Doug DeCinces at third base for the Orioles.
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    Tell him to get back here!
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    I think he said a year. I'm not sure. He will probably chime in here before long.

    Brock told us that it would take a while. It needs time for the search engines to improve the site's rankings. Time will tell, of course.
