    Speaking of afternoon games, I'd like to see World Series games on Saturday and Sunday played during the day. If I remember correctly, the last time that happened was a 4 p.m. start for a Saturday game in 1987.

    I also miss complete games. And black uniforms, too, but in the way that you'd miss a sinus infection. I'd add that I miss the days when the "closer" role would be shared by two pitchers, a righty and a lefty, like McGraw and Frisella or Orosco and McDowell.

    I'm bumping this thread because it's currently tied.

    I haven't seen them, but from what I've heard I haven't been motivated to seek them out.

    I'm not sure Strawberry qualifies. Wouldn't he, under normal circumstances, have been eligible for free agency after 1989 unless he had signed a contract that took him through 1990? 1989 was his sixth full season in the big leagues.

    It seems kind of quaint to have a suspension that's not about PEDs.

    I voted indifferent. I don't think I'll mind having De Aza on the team, but I don't like the fact that this seems like it may preclude other and better deals.

    Oops, I posted the wrong poll today. Oh well. I'll also post the poll that was intended for today.

    So who's the third-string catcher in 2016? Is it Monell? Or is there someone else in Vegas* who would get the call if necessary? * I almost typed "Tidewater" there.

    Already forgotten.

    I think, in a vacuum, each of the moves that the Mets made were fair to good. (This one is on the lower end, as is De Aza.) The problem is really that the sum of these moves doesn't seem to be adding up to much. If I could magically undo one of the transactions the Mets made this winter, this would probably be the one I'd choose.
