Pick 91 SS Anthony Walters San Diego State The tv guys said he is a defense-first player and that the Mets are picking guys they can sign under-slot to save money to pay JT Ginn (the second round pick). Later

Pick 69 Isiah Greene - lefty hitting high school outfielder: From SNY: The Mets selected outfielder Isaiah Greene from Corona High school in Corona, California. Greene, 18, was the No. 62-ranked prospect per MLB.com and has a commitment to Missouri. A lefty-swinging center fielder who plays plus defense and should be able to stick in center, Greene had a huge senior season and "has a chance to be a really exciting, toolsy player," draft analyst Jon Mayo said on the MLB Network broadcast after Greene was drafted. MLB.com scouting report snippet: Even without much polish, Greene really stood out against top competition over the summer and fall. Though he didn't hit as well out of the gate this spring, he may be the most improved player in the area over the last year and there's still plenty of room for growth, giving teams reason to consider the Missouri recruit in the early rounds.

After the pick, one of the ESPN analysts said that Pete doesn't have the hit tool necessary to go far ... yet. That seems to contradict the scouting reports which say he can hit, but not with much power. I'll insert my annual concern here about high school lefty hitters not having much much experience against lefty pitchers. Later

Rob Manfried just announced that there WILL be baseball this year (as per WABC). They are down to two alternatives, one a 48 game season he can unilaterally impose and one with more games. The decision on which alternative will be in one or two days. Later

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Camper Wrongs Otter That was on the National Geographic Channel last night. And it wasn't pretty. Pre-draft ca-ca I've read said their first two picks are likely to be 6'6" lefty pitchers (one in college, one in high school) with them targeting outfielders later in the draft. Stay tuned. Later

Promising. At least the prospective buyers have experience as owners sports team owners. Later

Willie Mays was also from Alabama (Westfield). They probably would have done the same to him. Hank Aaron was from Mobile. Those police were probably Braves fans, and would have beaten him too, but not as badly. Later

The Wilpons' Mets Money Woes Continue

The Wilpons' Mets Money Woes Continue
MFS62 replied to batmagadanleadoff's topic in New York Mets Talk
I don't know exactly what this means: "S&P said it was also assigning a recovery rating of 1, reflecting an expectation for very high (90-100%; rounded estimate: 95%) recovery in the event of a default." Not sure either, but it sounds like either: 1) if they sell, the buyers will recover close to their investment (very quickly?) or 2) the Wilpons will be able to sell for close to the amount of their indebtedness.

=Ceetar post_id=37859 time=1591202237 user_id=102] was 25 years ago, prices were pennies compared to now, tv, etc. it's a different world, and MLB attendance is only a tiny portion of it.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: I agree that I would prefer a season without snipers. I still hope they play. A fifty-game season would be pretty weak, but if they can get closer to 80 that would be satisfactory. They're getting into out of sight, out of mind territory. I don't remember, did average MLB attendance increase or decrease the year after the last partial seasons? Later

That was great. I'm sure many of them played softball better than they wrote, and vice versa. I remember watching those games and playing on those fields (not in that league). Thanks. Later

Len Dykstra is even more of an asshole than we imagined.

I had read that the minor leaguers have been getting a stipend of $400 a month during the outage. Many of them on that list probably would have been cut after spring training anyhow, but 30 players getting 400 bucks each for 2 months is less than half the cost of a waiver claim. Just sayin'. Later

COVID-19 is the disease. If a mutated SARS-CoV-2 continues to cause the same, or similar, symptoms, it'll probably still be COVID-19.

Willets Point wrote: This is probably a question that's not going to be anyone here's expertise, but how much can it mutate and still be C19 and not become, say, C20. IIRC, Met Irish works in a hospital lab. I hope he sees this and provides an answer. Later

Lost the link, but a story from Italy over the weekend said that the virus is changing and newest forms of the -19 strain are less deadly. We can only hope. Later
