    Presumably the worst February performance in club history, but Gorzelanny benefits from it not even being March yet.

    Word filtering out that Ned Garver, one of the great St. Louis Browns, has passed at 91. Won 20 games for a 102-loss team in 1951.

    THe 36 AB guy is Kevin Roberson, whose maternity ward clerk got bored typing Robertson, I always assumed.

    The 37 AB guy is Jeff Gardner, whose total times to the plate overstates the impression he made on me.

    2. Hank Webb fis the bill, but I didn't know the Hofstra part 5. Shawn Hare it sounds like, though I remember him as an outfielder

    Two events in two states to kick off the publicity whirlwind for Piazza: Catcher, Slugger, Icon, Star, already at a digital bookseller near you and coming to the physical kind soon. • Foley's in Manhattan, March 19, Sunday noon (thanks, of course, to themetfairy for getting this one going). • Staples High School in Westport, Conn., March 21 (Tuesday 7 PM) for all you Nutmeg Staters out there. Details here. More to come as applicable.

He also pitched for the Cubs and Red Sox, and his name is alliterative. Standings: GFafif 2 Ben Grimm 2 Edgy 1 SteveJR 1 Jose Moreno and I just lost a point.

    The one thing I remember about Santiago is that he was sent down, cleared waivers, and then endured an extended DL assignment in the minors based on an injury sustained while on the big league roster, which kind of screwed him out of the big league pay he'd've gotten. And before you ask, no, I'm not sure that isn't actually a misplaced José Parra memory. I conflate. Which is Spanish for with flate. Retro Rubin reports: Parra broke the pinkie on his throwing hand a week ago while rehabbing a hip injury with Double-A Binghamton. Parra might be the hombre you're looking for in this case.

    Jose Moreno was indeed traded for Randy Jones and indeed shares a name with 2004 Met reliever Orber Moreno. What am I missing?
  14. G-Fafif
    2005 reliever Jose Santiago ranked as Least Consequential Met ever by local blog.

    For those who missed it, Adam Rubin is now SID (or some such PR title) for the NYIT Bears athletic program. Old Westbury's gain. Metsopotamia's loss.

    The Padre guy is Jose Moreno.

    D'Arnaud's still here, De Aza isn't. If I've accidentally boosted Travis's confidence, it's all to the good.
  18. G-Fafif
    I probably would have had him in Kelly Johnson-T.J. Rivera territory (my ballot) based on durability, steady incremental improvement and genuine hustle. Matt Reynolds thanks me for the oversight.
  19. G-Fafif
    I just realized I unintentionally left De Aza out. A Rick Perry moment on my part. Oops.

    Within context of YGB flap, 1985 Met Larry Bowa takes shot at 2017 Mets. Nothing wrong with "digging yourself". Bowa could ask the "team to beat" shortstop who used to work in Clearwater this time of year.

    4. Milciades Noboa, a.k.a. Junior.

    Zack Wheeler tries not to feel a little tenderness, but does -- in his right elbow. Scar tissue from surgery, it is said.

    I thank you and posterity thanks you.

    Why poach from the Mets when the Phillies have such a rich tradition of quotes from personnel wearing their uniform at the time they were said? Take renowned 1947 Phillies manager Ben Chapman. "Chapman mentioned everything from thick lips to the supposedly extra-thick Negro skull, which he said restricted brain growth to almost animal level when compared to white folk. He listed the repulsive sores and diseases he said Robbie’s teammates would be infected with if they touched the towels or combs he used." Surely that can fit on a wall in the Clearwater catacombs.
