My first thought was, why not get back a young centerfielder in return? But then I realized if Toronto had a decent young centerfielder they wouldn't have signed Springer. d'oh! I think he stretched it out as far as he could go here, and maybe he'll regain that promising form somewhere else. Later

=metsmarathon post_id=54936 time=1611776958 user_id=83] i really wish the voters would elect a guy based primarily on his character, to show that it really is a meaningful criteria, and not simply a convenient escape clause.

In his second year, he seemed to slow down with the bat and in the field as maybe the weight as well as the age started creeping up on him. But he always seemed to be giving his best, and that is all you can want from a player. Wish him well. Later

(As they used to say in my old neighborhood) So, what does he know? Which analytics? In-game situational? Performance scouting? Draft analysis stuff? Any or all of them? Something else? And; If he has all those other interests, can he really focus on baseball? And; Why is he leaving them to come here? Has anyone checked those tweets? Later

Nobody will be spoiling his day (rats!). Later

Bump! Tick Tock. The announcement is scheduled for later today, and some stories say nobody will be elected this year. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/30703934/2021-baseball-hall-famehttps://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/30703934/2021-baseball-hall-fame Later

He would have to be. They are running out of spots for him, especially since the Players Union announced they are against the DH (in the NL this year). Later -
Just heard on WFAN that the Mets have put a short term deal on the table for Bauer. It has a higher annual amount than Cole (his is around $33 million per year), but the number of years was not announced. Later

Anyone who is HOF eligible right now can make his list. That means no active players. He's got plenty of Negro Leaguers on his list and 19th century players, too. He's also got ineligible (banned) players on his list -- Shoeless Joe and Pete Rose. One category I'm not sure of is whether players who are still appearing on the initial HOF ballot without having fallen off that ballot are eligible for his list, but I assume no because he's named 97 players already and no one from that category has made his 100 yet. No Josh Gibson yet, no? Gibson was elected into the Hall of Fame in 1972. https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/gibson-joshhttps://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/gibson-josh Later

The guy on the ABC-TV NY station just said the Mets are reportedly still in on Trevor Bauer AND Chris Bryant! But he mentioned "sources" say that, without any other info. So , grain of salt, etc., etc. Later

=Gwreck post_id=54739 time=1611609246 user_id=56] Players union wisely says no.

Steve Carlton? Later

Lugo as a starter but Peterson not making the ML team? What was your reasoning? He has options left? Later

He's on the top 10 list of catching prospects. https://sports.yahoo.com/mets-francisco-alvarez-cracks-top-142543535.htmlhttps://sports.yahoo.com/mets-francisco-alvarez-cracks-top-142543535.html Later

I was at this 1960 game. Even some of the reserves were to become Hall of Famers: https://www.baseball-reference.com/allstar/1960-allstar-game-2.shtmlhttps://www.baseball-reference.com/allstar/1960-allstar-game-2.shtml Later

"Indian" Bob Johnson: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/johnsbo01.shtmlhttps://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/johnsbo01.shtml Better than Bonds and Clemens? Of course not better on talent or stats. But because they were implicated in steroids, I believe he belongs on a Hall eligibility list and they don't. Later

Very sad. He was as good, if not better, than any of the stars of his era who got more press adulation. RIP Later

LIVE FROM STOCKHOLM! 2020 TABLOID COVER DERBY!
MFS62 replied to Benjamin Grimm's topic in New York Mets Talk
Too bad the inauguration is taking press coverage away from the Cover Derby enshrinement ceremonies. Later -
As I mentioned in another thread, the Mets have not signed any of the "top 30" international prospects this year. I wonder if they were saving some of their International money to pay Springer. Later

ABC-TV NY news just said the Mets will not announce a replacement quickly. Is that relevant enough to post in this thread? OE - SNY said the same: https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mets-wont-hiring-gm-short-213248567.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/sports/mets-wont-hiring-gm-short-213248567.html Later
