  1. Across baseball, the rise of modern, data-driven player development has produced success stories. It has saved careers. It has also frustrated players and disrupted growth. Its influence has, rightfully, become deeply embedded in the game. But the approach has sometimes shut out or quieted coaches and players who weren't fully on board. The question is no longer whether Driveline and the movement it helped popularize have changed hitting in recent years. It's what the game has gained, and may have lost in the process. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/polarizing-hitting-approach-took-over-mlb-driveline-baseball-kristian-campbell/ It has both helped and hurt. Your thoughts? Later
  2. Most multi-homer games as catcher before turning 25: Johnny Bench: 8 Francisco Alvarez: 7 Gary Carter: 7 And he won't turn 25 until November. He has a chance to tie, or even break, the record. Later
  3. Since we have AJ Ewing as projected, how about him currently for that #28 spot? We did the same for Benge. That's my pick. Later
  4. Nick getting the start in center. A good move to protect the alley with Soto in left. Later
  5. I accept the challenge. I'm thinking mid-late 70's, when they would have given anyone who could wear a cup without injuring themself a chance. So I'm thinking Bruce Boisclair. 75 for that elusive 28 Later
  6. ( runs home, jumps into bed, assumes the prenatal position and turns the electric blanket up to 9) Good job, Mr G. And a well done qwiz , Edgy. Since we already have a runaway winner, who was 28? (I need to hate myself even more) Later
  7. That projection #1 is still bugging me. Past quizzes have told me that Edgy can be very precise with his wording. So, I'm thinking that there's more to projection than the obvious. So I thought it may be a player who had a cuppa', was out for a year or two with injury , but still would be a rookie if he were to be activated. And I STILL CAN'T think of anyone, dangit! Later
  8. Me, too. My metsbrain V82 just crashed. I have to go for a pit stop/ reboot. Well done, Mr G. I bow to your Metspertise. later
  9. You give me Lucas Duda, and I’ll raise you with John Milner, class of 1972. later
  10. Brian Giles 83 later
  11. What about (Little) Stevie (Wonder) Henderson? around 1982-ish. Wasn't he lovely? Later
  12. Jason Phillips circa 2003 later
  13. Waitaminit! nobody remembers a guy named david wright all the way back in 2004? later
  14. (Slaps forehead) One of my first met heroes, Jim Hickman. I have one of his polo grounds home run balls. 1962 later
  15. Rod Kanehl 1962 later
  16. Darryl Strawberry 1983 Later
  17. Doc T's avatar Wayne Garrett 1969 Down around #28 (Since Vail just missed) Later
  18. Never mind I had two players confused. Later
  19. Ron Hunt 1963 Later
  20. I'd guess that "agreement" has clauses that would protect the player (should he get injured before he turns 16) and the Tigers (should he sign elsewhere). If not, there should be. Later
  21. With Hagenman starting, it's a good thing that most of the bullpen is rested. Later
  22. It’s been like we fondly remember our first case of jock itch. later
  23. I'm guessing Alvarez moved up because Green needed to break up that string of lefty batters. I'm surprised that Ewing wasn't moved to left and Morabito put in center. While they're both fast, Nick has a tad more speed. Later
  24. Are you instigating a rebellion? Why not? Tradition is going out the window. Dueling IGTs. All we need is banjo music. Later
  25. I hope they start Vientos in Tuesday's game. Part of Mark's problem earlier in the season IMO was that he thought they wanted him to be Pete Alonso. We would have been happy with a good Mark Vientos. And he tried too hard. Maybe the stint in the minors has allowed him to focus. Let's see if they let him keep his hot streak going. Later
