    That definitely looks like Dykstra. And were the Mets still wearing the racing stripes in 1991?

    George Altman, March 20, 1933, is now the oldest living Met.

    Nolan vs Nola. Not terribly insightful, but it needed to be said.

    When the Mets bring up a highly rated prospect, there's always the potential that he'll be the last player to wear whatever uniform number is assigned to him. Given that, the number should be chosen with care. So what number should Brandon Sproat be assigned? I looked at the current numerical roster at Baseball Reference. The most suitable numbers that are unclaimed (and unretired) seem to be 40, and 45. I suggested 30 for McLean and 40 for Tong. I'll try again with 40 and suggest that number for Sproat.

    And not that he's anything to get excited about, but I keep forgetting that Tylor Megill is lurking out there too.
  10. Benjamin Grimm
    That was my point. Senga and Manaea are running out of time, which is why we're looking at other options.
  11. Benjamin Grimm
    I can easily imagine the starters in the Wild Card Series being McLean, Peterson, and Tong. If they should be fortunate enough to advance beyond that, maybe their fourth starter would be Holmes with Manaea on deck for a two- or three- inning stint? It seems that the best you can hope for is four or five from Holmes and two or three from Manaea. Maybe pairing the two of them would be a way to spare the bullpen from overuse. Needless to say, if Senga and/or Manaea are able to get over their struggles the picture will be a lot brighter. But we're running out of time to go into October with much confidence in either of them.

    You may have also offended Cleon Jones.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    Give him a four- or five-year contract when he's two years from free agency. I hate opt-outs, by the way. As a fan, they just confuse everything. But I suppose they're here to stay.
  21. Benjamin Grimm
    I noticed that too. I've never really taken the time to understand WAR, so it's a mystery to me why the numbers are so different.

    I suspect that 48 is going to be in limbo for a while.
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    McLean is wearing 26.

    When the Mets bring up a highly rated prospect, there's always the potential that he'll be the last player to wear whatever uniform number is assigned to him. Given that, the number should be chosen with care. So what number should Jonah Tong be assigned? I looked at the current numerical roster at Baseball Reference. The most suitable numbers that are unclaimed (and unretired) seem to be 21, 40, and 45. I've seen photos of Tong in a number 38 Mets jersey, but that's currently assigned to Tylor Megill. Other good numbers are currently assigned to less prominent players who are currently inactive, such as 19 (Jose Siri), 29 (Jared Young), 30 (Hayden Senger), 32 (Max Kranick), 33 (A.J. Minter), 49 (Chris Devenski). I had suggested 30 for Nolan McLean, because he shares a first name (sort of) with Nolan Ryan. For Tong, based on what's outlined above, I'm thinking he'll be a 40.
