I voted 21-30, but it might very well be zero. And whatever homers he does get may very well not come with the Mets. I think he's about to make the transition to a journeyman who's desperately hanging on, and whatever chances he gets will be because of the promise of his past and the hope that he'll get it together again.

I know. It just seems like they're shuffling deck chairs.

I can't imagine that activating Charlie Puleo and putting him in left field would be at all helpful.

Marcum 5 Harvey 3 Lagares 1

Too many pitching changes...

I don't know if it's coincidence or design, but they're drafting older players in the later rounds. The first four guys were all born in 1994 or 1995, but the next four were 1990, 1991, 1992, 1991.

Mazzilli will be 23 in September. King will be 22 in October.

Rained out, per Kevin Burkhardt. There will be a doubleheader on September 14.

Ivan Wilson. That's one ugly cap he's wearing.

Best name on the list: Rowdy Tellez Maybe some day the Mets can have Rainy and Rowdy on the roster.

Does no one know the answer to this? I know that there are basketball fans here... Benjamin Grimm wrote: Breaking the theme of this thread a little bit... There's an SNY commercial that says that if you stack all 29 New York City basketball players, they'd be able to reach the Statue of Liberty's nose. Why does New York City have an uneven number of basketball players? Don't the Knicks and Nets have the same number of players on their rosters?

His name is an anagram for "I is ugly ape." How old is Yasiel? Or, probably more appropriately, how old does he claim to be?

And here's Andrew Church.

Young Mr. Smith.

I guess this is about ready to unveil. I'll post the "public" announcement tomorrow, so this will kind of serve as a sneak peek: Ultimate Mets Database Homemade Baseball Cards

I freely acknowledge that I know virtually nothing about any of these guys, but I'm rooting for Hunter Renfroe.
