Your timing is quite apt! I've just finished posting the games from the series in Miami!

Next April, please open 25 of these threads.

Who came up with the idea that Amed Rosario is the King of New York????

So his only play in the field involved him fielding a grounder and stepping on third base? No throws across the diamond yet? I mean, I'm sure he's already confirmed that he can throw the ball from third base to first, but it will be nice to have him do it in game action.

I'm not sure Mickey knows how to count that high.

I admire the tenacity that David is showing as he tries to come back with the odds so stacked against him. I'm really glad he got to play in a World Series, and it would be great if he could make more than a token appearance in the big leagues at some point in the future. The most awkward and painful situation will be if he gets healthy but is just plain awful. I'm not sure what would happen then, but that's a concern for some other day, if it ever comes to pass.

Because of a delayed promotion, the Mets currently have two more years of control over deGrom instead of one. And right now that extra year has great significance.

Keeping Alonso in the minors until next May 1 would be more beneficial for the long-term future than having him accrue service time playing meaningless games this month and next. I support not promoting him.

WTF???? Why isn't Reyes in the lineup???

The recent draft would only be one of several factors. I think a bigger factor would be how existing players at the lower end of the farm system progress.

I would suggest that the Mets give him another shot, but I see that he's dead at the present time.

It's a response to the post above it.

Danny Napoleon, 1964 in Auburn (NY-Penn League) had 134 RBI.

In the nascent stages of the Mets’ general manager search, Gary LaRocque’s name is among those receiving consideration. LaRocque, a key component of the Cardinals front office for the past decade-plus, is hardly a whiz kid at 65, but is well respected within the game and would fit the profile of what the Mets are thought to be seeking in their next GM.
