    I mostly remember the curly hair flowing from under his cap. RIP One LA player I didn't dislike (too much). Later

    The problem is, traditional thinking was you had to be "strong up the middle" defensively, so middle infielders who mostly considered for their glove. Any offense you got was gravy. First base was an offensive position. dWAR starts first basemen out with -15, because it was where you put your slugger. Any D is a plus. But we can see first basemen saving errors (and runs), so you can't just look at their own errors. But the perception of first being an offensive position persists to this day. Bobby was not elected because he did what he was supposed to, but not as well as the voters thought. Keith wasn't elected because he didn't do what was expected, but did what was he wasn't supposed to do extremely well, and that wasn't appreciated. Later

    The game was sponsored by the SCLC (according to the program), but did they get all the revenue from the game? Later

    bobby grich might have an argument there, seeing as how he's the only guy on bbref's JAWS list who ranks out above the average HOFer at his position who a) is not yet enshrined was a one-and done c) does not have an asterisk attached to him and d) played in modern times. I remember discussions that centered on things like "Mazeroski is in the Hall for being the best fielding second baseman - ever, and I think Grich was just as good with the glove". That he was as good as Maz may or may not be true, but it was considered back then. Later

    ESPN has never said anything positive about the Mets - EVER. But this deserves to be aired. And the penalty is appropriate. Later

    The Mets have acquired lefty starter Joey Lucchesi in a three way deal in which San Diego gets righty Joe Musgrove from Pittsburgh. https://sports.yahoo.com/mets-acquire-lhp-joey-lucchesi-000434281.htmlhttps://sports.yahoo.com/mets-acquire-lhp-joey-lucchesi-000434281.html Lucchesi is making major league minimum and isn't arb eligible until 2022.

    =kcmets post_id=54204 time=1610990567 user_id=53] Best thing of the offseason, lotta fun! It's amazingly professional how the models pose with the covers exactly the same regardless of where they are shipped out to for each photo op.

    Bravo! Again! When the travel restrictions ease, we look forward to seeing it in person in Stockholm Later

    Lindor signed a one year deal for over $22 million. JD Davis and the Mets are still a few hundred thousand dollars apart. https://nypost.com/2021/01/16/top-mlb-players-get-big-money-deals/https://nypost.com/2021/01/16/top-mlb-players-get-big-money-deals/ And, the Mets did not sign any of the top 30 international free agents. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-international-signing-day-2020-21https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-international-signing-day-2020-21 Later

    Update, Nimmo signed: "The Mets avoided arbitration with Brandon Nimmo, coming to terms on a one-year deal for $4.7 million, per multiple reports." https://sports.yahoo.com/mets-arbitration-tracker-team-agrees-154004797.htmlhttps://sports.yahoo.com/mets-arbitration-tracker-team-agrees-154004797.html Later

    The Mets have signed arbitration deals with (among others) Lugo (no terms available), Dom Smith, Edwin Diaz, Thor and Steven Matz. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mets-arbitration-tracker-team-agrees-154004797.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/sports/mets-arbitration-tracker-team-agrees-154004797.html Conforto and Nimmo are the two remaining "biggies" to go. Then we'll know how much money is left below the salary cap. Later

    Looks like the Mets are kicking the tires on other CF options, pending a decision on the DH. Albert Almora is one of those options: https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mets-interest-free-agent-center-150654799.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/sports/mets-interest-free-agent-center-150654799.html Later

Concert style wrist bands? Tent cities? ... or just the usual method of who has the best inside connections? You have to fill out a form on a Government website. Old Mole did it today and got immediate response (because he's over 75) that he is eligible to get it and there will be a next step to make an appointment. We will be able to do the same in Connecticut on Thursday. Later
