    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.

    It's nice that the Mets have a healthy competition for the suckiest reliever role.

    Was Helsley this bad during his last few weeks with St. Louis? Or did he suddenly fall apart after joining the Mets?

    It's kind of refreshing that nobody has been offended by this thread.

    Not because of this, but I'm going to start scaling back the features of the UMDB this offseason. There will be fewer clickable pages, and that should (I think) help matters. The bots run rampant through the site and that's most likely what's causing these overloads to occur.

    I'm not so sure they have an impressive record when they lead after eight innings.

    Geez, I hope it's not Apple for the first-round playoff games. I'm not really clear about what this means. I'm out-of-market for Mets games, so I currently subscribe to Extra Innings and get MLB.TV as part of that package. Does this mean that instead of paying MLB I'd be paying ESPN so I can watch PIX and SNY Mets games online?

    I'd also like to see them give Parada a chance.
  15. Benjamin Grimm
    Probably neither. They just want to be prepared for the worst case in case they eventually find out that it's the actual case.

    Today CBS baseball's lead headline is "Mets and Reds in two horse race for NL wildcard" Makes me think of 1999.

    I've decided that the league that starts in the East should be called the Sunrise League and the one with the westernmost teams should be the Sunset League. No further discussion is necessary.

    Yeah, I know. That's a very possible outcome.
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    That's how I see it too. If you're going to scramble the teams that much, rename the leagues. Call them the Continental League and the Frontier League. Or Pioneer League. (I know that there are small independent leagues with those last two names, but I'm sure they'd listen to a reasonable offer.) Or as I said earlier, the Jackie Robinson League and the Roberto Clemente League. Or the Orange League and the Purple League. Or whatever! But keeping "National" and "American" after such a shakeup doesn't seem right.

    He's no Dicky Lovelady.

    Promoting Parada would probably have implications for the 40-man roster. (I'm guessing here.)
