  1. Give him 10 minutes with Rick Peterson
  2. Shinjo was only expected to be a defensive reserve when he arrived. His flair and early success may have given the impression there was more to him than that but he pretty much overdelivered on his promise. Kaz Matsui is a different case entirely, he wasn't a bad player--not a great one either-- but he was mostly mishandled by the Mets.
  3. Besides being culturally dumb, the list above doesn't take into account expectations. Many of the guys signed in the Steve Phillips Era were only asked to provide back-end relief help or a reserve bat; most lived up to that modest expactation and some exceeded it. Igarashi was the only real clunker. Something about him didn't sit right with the Mets and he spent most of the year in AAA.
  4. good call on Frank White.
  5. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 241 9/9: Rarity: 95 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: https://immaculategrid.comhttps://immaculategrid.com @immaculategrid x @baseball_ref NYM/KC - Jeffries 2 KC/STL - Porter 15 KC/2000H - Brett 90 CLE/NYM - Baerga 7 CLE/STL - Orosco 0.4 CLE/2000H - Robinson 2 PHL/NYM - Mac Scarce 0.2 PHL/STL -Zeile 0.9 PHL/2000H - Abreu 2
  6. doh Danny Frisella.
  7. 5 is George Stone. Yes these rhymes are weird; as is us apparently playing some other forum's games
  8. 2 is Dock Ellis
  9. Baseball was waiting for the Oakland situation to work itself out before expanding. Fees will be ginormous, there's no way to stop it.
  10. i tried to get fancy and guessed Billy Ripken for the 1 team O.
  11. Dead Ron Hodges deserves his own thread
  12. 2 is Eric Cammack
  13. Todd Zeile had better career numbers than Wright.
  14. Good for Gibbo. Sarbaugh was the Guardians 3B coach and infield coach
  15. Tracksuit reporting Mike Sarbaugh will be the 3rd base coach
  16. we also considered but wussed out.
  17. c'mon. Carlos Metdoza is one of those puns the Post knew was awful but did anyway. That's most of its charm.
  18. Despite a massive handicap of scant NL coaching experience, Nevin was able to third-base coach that Giants club to a playoff victory over the Mets.
  19. 1. Joe depastino
  20. Mets hiring Kris Gross to head up amateur scouting. Was with the Astros
  21. Vogue and Gitmo were both memorable players and true Mets
  22. Margot is one of those guys who underwhelms big expectations as a prospect and takes 5-6 years to get his game together. He's no superstar
  23. The Mets hit better with Chavez as the hitting coach vs Chavez as the bench coach
  24. would have been a perfect expansion city. But now that th A's have moved expansion can go on. That's why the owners approved
