  1. If the Mets had a .900 OPS guy fall out of a tree, he'd probably break his shoulder.

As I understand it, if he plays even one game in September, it will cost the Mets at least sixty days salary that won't be covered by insurance. I would be surprised if David Wright appeared in a game in 2017.
  3. I would have preferred to have them wait until April to call him up, thereby delaying free agency by a year, but oh well. The big question now is, what's his uniform number going to be? I see him as a 6, but it's currently assigned to a member of the coaching staff. If it was up to me, I'd give Pat Roessler a number in the 50's like coaches are supposed to have, and give 6 to Rosario. 11 would also work. (If things work out as we hope, Rosario would be the last to wear that frequently issued number.) I see that 2 is available, but that number has too much Jeter taint to give to a player who you hope to have installed at shortstop for many years.
  4. That seems unlikely.
  5. Duda is still a free agent after the season. There's no certainty that he'll still be with the Rays in 2018.
  6. Cast your vote!

Week ending April 22, 2017: Matt Harvey, 6.30 points. Week ending April 29, 2017: Michael Conforto, 6.47 points. Week ending May 6, 2017: Jay Bruce, 8.94 points. Week ending May 13, 2017: Neil Walker, 7.55 points. Week ending May 20, 2017: Michael Conforto, 8.84 points. Week ending May 27, 2017: Lucas Duda, 7.63 points. Week ending June 3, 2017: Robert Gsellman, 6.87 points. Week ending June 10, 2017: Jay Bruce, 7.11 points. Week ending June 17, 2017: Seth Lugo, 6.59 points. Week ending June 24, 2017: Jacob deGrom, 10.50 points. Week ending July 1, 2017: Curtis Granderson, 5.45 points. Week ending July 8, 2017: Steven Matz, 4.79 points.
  8. I'm not so sure that Cabrera is "absolutely gone", nor that Dominic Smith is a sure thing at first base for 2018. But, we'll see...
  9. I don't think this trade is all that head-scratchy. The Mets are, realistically, conceding 2017 and retooling for 2018. And they figure that Ramos will be a key part of the 2018 bullpen.
  10. The final number may change slightly, because it reflects some games for which voting has not yet closed, but as it stands now, Neil Ramirez will depart with 3.39 Schaefer points to his name. He's earned more Schaefer points in 2017 than each of the following players: Tommy Milone Kevin Plawecki Brandon Nimmo Gavin Cecchini Chasen Bradford Sean Gilmartin Adam Wilk
  11. I was Camptown Races all the way.
  12. Last call for the games played from July 1 to July 9, which will all close on Sunday morning.
  13. Schaefer Mets Player of the Year in 2014. Schaefer Mets Player of the Month in August 2011, July and September 2014, and April 2015. Schaefer Mets Bench Player of the Month twice, most recently in June 2017. These are the Schaefer-inspired cards that were created for Lucas Duda:
  14. Pomodoro is the Italian word for "tomato".
  15. There was a five-game winning streak in April, and we were thinking, "Okay! Here we go!" But things turned bad very quickly after that. Ten losses in eleven games.
