Per Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated, the Mets are hiring Kai Correa as their new bench coach. Correa held the same role from 2020-2023 with the Giants. Most recently, he served as the Guardians' Major League Field Coordinator, as well as their director of defense, baserunning and game strategy. Later

The Mets have put Jeff Albert in change of hitting, replacing Chavez. He has been in charge of minor league hitting for the Mets and before that was hitting coach for the Cardinals. I don't know how "in charge of hitting" differs from "hitting coach" but I guess we'll find out. Later

When you walk out on your own you have dignity. That is always better emotionally than being fired. Mendoza deserves that dignity. Later

While Reimer may end up at first, he's a third baseman and not a butcher they would have to move there. IMO Suero's talents would be wasted at first. He's a catcher who can run (over 20 SB without looking it up) and plays the outfield. I'm not sure Homie's near term position is at first. But if one of them has to move to first at the end of a productive 15 year Mets career, so be it. Ryan Clifford has the power and (lack of) speed that would make him the likeliest near term first baseman currently in the system. Later

Yes. Managing a major league team is stressful. All managers have stress. Later

Hmmmm I wonder how we can get Mendoza to feel the stress. Later

4 or more than 4 Later

After all the pros and cons discussed in the other thread, what do you think Pete actually will do? Later
-
Since nobody knows what's going to happen, I'm going to start a poll for what folks think will happen. Later

I know too many nice Canadian (that's redundant) friends and one virulent anti-Mets Seattle acquaintance to root for any team in this other than the Jays. Later

Reminds me of the book "The Long Season". In the late 1950s all Latin American players were known as, "First ball hitters, fast ball hitters". And the pitchers pitched them accordingly. Later

This. Later

Good hitter OBS+ 121 Two time All Star and one second place MVP finish. RIP Later

Quite right. I will correct. Did Edgy ask me a question? I missed that. I think it was in one of the political threads a while ago. Later

Sorry, he wasn't on CF's list. He got 7.88 , better than many of the others on that list. Later

Me, too. I'd have to flip a coin on that one. Later

Gwreck: AJ Minter 5.58 As I said earlier in the thread, please spell my name correctly on the check. Later

Thanks, Kase. I should have recognized that. Funny that he used 32, because at ages 32 -34, Ted Williams was in military service. But when he returned: age 35 .345/.513/.635 age 36 .356/.496/.703 age 37 .345/.479/.605 and at ages 39 AND 39 he led the league in batting. I'm not saying Alonso will do the same. But every player is different. And CF gave examples of other older players who were productive in his post. Later
-
What are those numbers? Because if that's the average OPS after they turned 32 , that ain't bad. Later

That's not what I meant. Certainly not an organizational philosophy, but an occasional approach based on the GM. George Weiss certainly did. And I think Stearns does it, too. Conversely, Frank Cashen meticulously built a minor league organization(down to procedure manuals describing what a player does in a situation for all levels of the organization) to provide a pipeline of talent. He acquired players based on ability and potential (e.g.- Hojo) rather than big names. Looking back, the only "Big name" he acquired was Keith. And he shed Kingman and Foster. Later

For a second I had panic attack. I thought you meant Chris Suero -my 21 year old "Swiss Army Knife*" homey** who played at several minor league levels for the Mets this year. He's a keeper, and rising on the prospect lists. Later *= catcher, outfield and pitcher **= from Da' Bronx

They prefer "name" players to kids. They've been doing it since the 1962 team. They thought it was a way to win quickly and draw fans to a new team. It is a tactical approach rather than strategically building for the future. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Later

On Mets internet page (SNY, Metsmerized?) is saying Edgardo Alfonso would like to join the Mets coaching staff. Later

Did you intend to start a new thread about 2 Guns and hit reply instead? This doesn't belong in the October Sky thread. And when you're done correcting that, you can answer Edgy's question. Later
