    Mets draft Pelfrey. One of the oldest threads in our archives. Niese and Parnell content also. Mets drafted Josh Thole and Pedro Beato that year too. From that thread, here's what jumped out at me: ="Johnny Dickshot Jun 07 2005 11] Pedro Beato Yes!

    He really tries hard to be Cal Ripken, doesn't he?

    Voting for Monday night's loss in St. Louis will close on Friday morning. Schaefer PotG, 9/20/2011, Cardinals 11, Mets 6 The Schaefer Mets Player of the Week for the week ending September 17, 2011 is R. A. Dickey with 6.87 points.

    My hunch (and not a strong one) is that he'll be gone. (I don't know by what means.) I think they'll find someone to replace him at a lower price.

    Seven games remaining for the Mets, six for the Brewers. (That inequity will end today; the Mets play this afternoon and Milwaukee is off.)

    How can we ever prove whether or not there was a "zero chance?"

    They have until next April to come up with other options. Schwinden's not the only possibility. Sometimes teams get players from outside their organization. It's been known to happen.

    They would do it if they felt that his salary was more than they wanted to spend, that's why.
  11. Benjamin Grimm
    I may be wrong, but I think it's higher than zero. It doesn't seem all that far-fetched for the Mets to determine that they don't want to pay him $6 million next year, if they feel that money can be better spent elsewhere. I suspect it's more likely that they would seek to trade him, or release him if it turns out that he gets a larger arbitration award than they can tolerate. It makes less sense to cut him loose until you know what he'll be making. It's his salary, not his ability, that would make Pelfrey expendable.

    On my lunch hour today, I saw a car with a "Save the Bay" bumper sticker, and I thought of this thread. If only it had been titled "Waive the Bay"

    Of course he can do it, the point is that it's not at all a sure thing. Ceetar used the word "safe".

    I miss the third-string catcher.

    The advent of the 12-man pitching staff has resulted in the five-man bench. I'd like to see the seven-man bench come back, and while I'd much prefer if it came through a return to the 10-man pitching staff and more complete games, I don't see that happening. So the 27-man roster is another way to get there. And maybe, just maybe, that could be the leverage required to rid ourselves of the DH as well.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    Yeah, 176 hits in a season is by no means a sure thing.
  21. Benjamin Grimm
    Jose now 100 hits ahead of Cleon.
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    Sounds like it's pretty much certain that there will be changes. I'm looking forward to learning the details.
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    I'd say let the roster go to 27 for April through August, and then to 30 for September.
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    And a hot finish for Jason Bay, in the hopes that it will set his mind at ease over the winter and set him up for a strong start next year. (Who knows? It could happen!) And one more triple for Jose Reyes, in case these are his final days as a Met. His career total is now at 99, and it would be nice to get the club record into triple digits.

    Voting for the three games played in Atlanta this past weekend will close on Wednesday morning. Schaefer POTG 9/16/11 - Mets 12, Braves 2 Schaefer POTG 9/17/11 - Braves 1, Mets 0 Schaefer POTG 9/18/11 - Mets 7, Braves 5
