  1. A-Rod was the best shortstop ever to wear the MFY uniform. Too bad Jeter never let him show it. We're going to find out how many voters never opened their gift baskets. And, if a case is to be made for Larry Walker, addressing the "Coors thing": Larry Walker away from #Rockies Coors Field — .282/.372/.501 versus- Dave Winfield* .283/.353/.475 Kirby Puckett*.318/.360/.477 Andre Dawson*.279/.323/.482 Billy Williams*.290/.361/.492 Jim Rice*.298/.352/.502 *Hall of Famer Walker leads the group in: rWAR OPS+ fWAR wOBA wRC+ courtesy of the @aceofspaeder Later
  2. Kent Sheffield Wagner Abreu The rest too low to consider. Later
  3. =bmfc1 post_id=26779 time=1574169989 user_id=73] =G-Fafif post_id=26749 time=1574105257 user_id=55] #RE2PECT to whoever doesn't make it unanimous.
  4. I mean, whoever didn't vote for Edgar Martinez can't for Jeter, right? Because if you won't vote for a DH how can you vote for someone with even less defensive value? Still laughing at this. A truer truth has never been posted. I'm sure there are players in the Hall who built up numbers because of only a few peak years in band-boxish home fields (Lefty O'Doul comes to mind), why should Larry Walker's career in one be held against him? My votes go to players who haven't gotten their due: Walker, Kent, Vizquel (If Ozzie is there, he should be, too), Sammy Sosa (not a drop of evidence) and Manny Ramirez (my homie from Upper Manhattan just for "Manny Being Manny" - and great).

  5. Minor League signings: https://www.amazinavenue.com/2019/3/13/18178938/mets-analysis-minor-league-signings-grade-dilson-herrera-luis-avilan-carlos-gomezhttps://www.amazinavenue.com/2019/3/13/18178938/mets-analysis-minor-league-signings-grade-dilson-herrera-luis-avilan-carlos-gomez Later

  7. =G-Fafif post_id=26362 time=1573523759 user_id=55] Andrew Baggarly, Giants beat writer for the Athletic, went for Soroka first, Pete second. Poor misguided soul.
  8. Simmons, Keith and Miller. I do not believe Munson was a Hall of Famer. There was a journeyman infielder who played around the same time named Bruce Bochte. The had approximately the same plate appearances and identical OBPs. (.756) If you're asking "Who is Bruce Bochte?" That's my point. If Bruce Bochte isn't a Hall of Famer, neither (IMO) is Munson.

Frayed Knot wrote: Either way, as long as we don't hear a sentence starting with -- 'and in a striking similarity to the injury Yeonis Cespedes suffered, Pete Alonso was placed today on ...' -- at some point next I think it was "The Long Season" by Jim Brosnan in which I read the memorable line,"You don't run fast enough to pull a muscle". I hope that's true for Pete. Later
  10. Bastages! Later
  11. Not a single Met got even an honorable mention among the Gold Glove announced winners, that I noticed. Gold doesn't go "clank" when a baseball hits it. Later
  12. A scouting report: (A lot of which we've said in this thread) https://www.amazinavenue.com/2019/11/6/20944012/11-best-mets-minor-league-hitters-i-saw-this-year-8-c-andres-regnaulthttps://www.amazinavenue.com/2019/11/6/20944012/11-best-mets-minor-league-hitters-i-saw-this-year-8-c-andres-regnault Later
  13. I would have voted Vargas Baby, but the ghost of Mariano Rivera appeared on it. Later
  14. =LWFS post_id=25997 time=1572936417 user_id=84] Any ballot including Garvey over Keith is a spray-tanned joke.
  15. This is one tough bracket. Later
  16. https://wcbs880.radio.com/articles/news/howie-rose-inducted-new-york-baseball-hall-fameHowie in a Hall. The New York State Baseball Hall of Fame honors players, executives, broadcasters, team staff and other influential members in baseball in the state. Bobby fucking Murcer? Oh well, congrats, Howie.

  17. =Mex17 post_id=25982 time=1572918474 user_id=67] Francesa bloviating I don't think that he has said that. Has he?
  18. Proving one more time that the "experts" at ESPN aren't. Later
  19. If someone in a position of authority with the Mets is reading this, please don't let Mickey Jannis go. Later
  20. And that is why he wants a bench coach who has the complimentary competencies. Looking for a symbiotic relationship. Later
  21. The first one out is Baseball America: 1 Ronny Mauricio SS 2 Francisco Alvarez C 3 Brett Baty 3B 4 Matt Allan RHP 5 Andres Gimenez SS 6 Mark Vientos 3B 7 Thomas Szapucki LHP 8 Josh Wolf RHP 9 Kevin Smith LHP 10 David Peterson LHP Baseball Prospectus to publish the Mets list on December 3. Can an admin please pin this one for future reference/ updating? Later
  22. I'm all in, baby! I love the Beltran/Collins pairing. It is a great opportunity. He couldn't let it go by. (see what I did there?) Later
  23. I remember him for ruining Mookie Wilson's throwing arm in Spring Training by extending him before he was fully recovered from an injury and for a home run he hit against the Mets at the Polo Grounds that went over the light tower above the left field stands at the Polo Grounds. Later
  24. I think this contest is going to boil down to a contest between Jake and Pete covers. Later
  25. That dude has his priorities straight! Later
