It was when the Mets released Donn Clendenon after the 1971 season that I realized that the Mets roster wasn't fixed in place for eternity.

I'm hoping for a starting pitcher and a catcher.

My hunch is that we'll see both Ike and Johan active in August, but you're right; Reyes and Wright seem much more promising at this point.

Schaefer totals through the All-Star break. The first three players have a lot of space between them; the players don't start to cluster until the fourth spot.

Schaefer POTG, 07/08/2011: Mets 5 Giants 2

According to the New York Times this morning, Rodriguez's original agent never got around to submitting the list of ten teams to which Frankie could reject a trade, which meant that the Mets could have traded him anywhere. However, they expected that Scott Boras would soon get that list submitted, and he'd have the advantage of selecting the teams based on the current landscape, which would have made trading Frankie very difficult. (Boras, of course, would want some compensation for waiving the trade veto.) So Sandy decided he needed to act quickly. Getting out from under that $17.5 million obligation was paramount. The Brewers gave the Mets a list of five prospects. The Mets will scout them aggressively over the next couple of weeks and then choose two of them.

Wright to join the St. Lucie Mets on Friday. The goal is to have him return to the big leagues by July 22 when the Mets are in Miami.

Roenicke needed to make a definitive decision so that the move helps the team more than it hurts, and it appears he's done the opposite of that. I don't think that's true. I know "times have changed" but having two closers worked out when they were named Orosco and McDowell, or McGraw and Frisella. And it would have worked for Franco and Benitez too.

I hear that my neighbor won $17.5 million in the lottery. I say, "Sure, that's a lot of money, but only he knows exactly how much."

Ceetar wrote: Yes, I'm not sure how the Brewers getting better is a anti-Phillies move? Certainly doesn't make the Mets or Braves more likely to beat them. Isn't it obvious? The implication is that it makes the Brewers more likely to beat the Phillies in a playoff series, thereby keeping them from the World Series.

Time to wrap up the 91-game "first half" of the season. All three games played in San Francisco last weekend will close on Thursday morning. If you still have votes to cast, try to do so today. And be sure to wear some flowers in your hair! Schaefer POTG, 07/08/2011: Mets 5 Giants 2 Schaefer POTG 7/9/11 - Giants 3, Mets 1 Schaefer POTG 7/10/11 - Giants 4, Mets 2

Also, regarding leverage, remember that Rodriguez said a few weeks ago that he'd be okay being traded to a contending team that already had a closer. Now, the other day, his new agent Boras said that that's no longer the case. Which means that the market for Frankie was reduced to teams that needed a closer, or teams that wanted him to set up and were not on his 10-team no-trade list. For all we know, the Brewers may have been the only viable team that fit that criteria.
