I have to wonder if the misadventures last year of Keuchel and Kimbrell might make players more likely to accept a QO, especially since it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

Do we think that there's any chance that Zack takes the QO?

I guess the nice thing about the Mets not having won a championship during the Trump presidency is that we haven't had to learn which of our guys would wear a MAGA cap.

Last year's top first-round vote-getter was GOOD WIL! of the Daily News, which fell one round short of the Final Four. The other covers that were ranked in the top four were MATT OUTTA HELL, which lost in the second round, SMILE HIGH, which advanced to the finals, and WHAT THE BLANK! which, like MATT OUTTA HELL, failed to advance beyond the second round. http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/2018/20180710_NYDN_02.jpg> Things are still very fluid, as only two polls have closed so far and there are still over a dozen more to go, but at the moment our top-ranked cover is Newsday's JAKE OF ALL TRADES, with MANE MAN in the second position. In the bracket graphic below, the numbers represent the ranking based on percentage of first-round votes received. http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/images/2018/brackets2018_005.png>
