    Did you get that story from The Kaplan Herald?

    Prediction: Giancarlo Stanton joins this list in 2018! You heard it here first!
  3. Benjamin Grimm
    Wow, Darren Bragg must be extraordinarily sneaky if he was able to slip under your radar!

    If you ignore the "sometimes Y" clause, 85.7 per cent of the letters in his name are consonants. Can any other Met top that?
  5. Benjamin Grimm
    I have no doubt that the Mets were a significantly more attractive destination to free agents after the 2015 and 2016 seasons than they are now.

    I WISH he hated owning the Mets.
  7. Benjamin Grimm
    Mike Vaccaro of the Post continues the drumbeat. A simple solution for Wilpons if they hate owning Mets so much

    The thought is that he's going to be the next JD Martinez. (He's worked with the same instructor on "launch angle".) While I'm skeptical that the results will be the same for Lagares, it would be a hell of a thing if it happened just after the Mets traded him.

    Jon Heyman reporting that teams are inquiring about Juan Lagares. Jon Heyman wrote: mets are getting calls on juan lagares. their areas of interest remain 2B, OF and a pen piece (or two). expect them to be patient.

    My impression is that John Ricco is the guy in the heartbeat seat.

    archive thread: http://archives.thecranepool.net/14800/f1_t14869.shtml now let's try again. re-hired as a special assistant to Sandy Alderson. Wow. Didn't they offer him that position, or something very much like it, seven years ago?

    I'm not at all convinced that the only road to winning 100 games is to first allow yourself to lose 100 games. The Arizona Diamondbacks went, literally, from not existing in 1997 to 102 wins in 1999.

    Second-round voting is now complete, and our eight finalists include four from Newsday, three from the Daily News, and one from the New York Post. Newsday so far is having its best year in this competition. In 2015 it didn't place any covers in the Elite Eight and last year there were only two. The Post, meanwhile, is staking all of its hopes on IN THE BEGINNING. We'll now resume our holiday break from voting. The third round will begin on January 2 and we'll start to narrow our field from eight covers to four.

    Mike Puma wrote: Fred Wilpon was “irate” after learning of Giancarlo Stanton’s recent trade to the Yankees, according to an industry source, continuing a pattern of hand-wringing by the Mets co-owner following a splash by his crosstown rival. Fred Wilpon ‘irate’ about Yankees getting Giancarlo Stanton
  15. Benjamin Grimm
    John Franco is one of them.
  16. Benjamin Grimm
    Wow! Totally wild guess: Doc Medich?
  17. Benjamin Grimm
    And they both have the same middle name!

    My two guys are both right-handed power hitters who were Willie's teammates in San Francisco.
  19. Benjamin Grimm
    I just thought of two more, but I'll refrain from posting so others get a chance.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    But probably not Sal Maglie.
  21. Benjamin Grimm
    Tom Seaver. Rusty Staub.

    I think so too. While some may get exasperated by his patience and restraint, at least he didn't trade Jacob deGrom for Victor Zambrano. That's the kind of thing that a more impulsive GM might have done. I've gotten the impression that JP Riccardi would have a quicker trigger (he's said so) and that John Ricco is the more patient one. When Sandy goes, if one of those two is the heir, I'd prefer Ricco for that reason.
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    Daily News reporting that it's two years.
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    Not that it's much better, but it's THREE first-place finishes in thirty years: 1988, 2006, and 2015.
  25. Benjamin Grimm
    I agree on Rizzuto.
