    I've never heard of anyone called "Buster" who had any credibility. Later

If you keep either Nimmo or Conforto and add something else to that deal to ger Kluber, I'd be happy with the bottom three deals and not go after Harper. I really like Springer and would make acquiring him one of my top priorities if I were the GM. Nice start of a plan. Later

    Good defensive catcher with some home run power and not making a tremendous amount of money. If the price is right, why not? Later

    Here's a move reported by the Onion: https://sports.theonion.com/yankees-avoid-luxury-tax-by-moving-franchise-to-offshor-1830544223 Funny, but I can believe it. If you can afford a season ticket to that bandbox, I have no doubt you can afford the round trip fare to each game. And getting rid of that piece of crap would do wonders toward the urban renewal of the Bronx. Plus, I can believe that somewhere at the bottom of this, the Wilpons will be making money from the real estate transactions. Later

    Is it possibly a release where they don't want to offer him arbitration, but are still willing to work out a deal? The minimum he could have gotten in arbitration was $1.4M apparently. They might be interested for something closer to the MLB minimum or even just a minor league deal. Later

    If Ozzie is in, so should Omar be in. He was Ozzie without the backflips. Later

    According to MLB.com, the following Mets top 30 prospects will have to be protected on the 40 man roster or exposed to the Rule V draft: New York Mets (4) 19. Luis Carpio, SS 21. David Thompson, 3B 25. Ali Sanchez, C 27. Patrick Mazeika, C Later

    Others have been touted as the "face of the franchise", but Wilmer is that face of the love we have had for the players over the years. Whenever we look back on this dismal season, if we see a picture of Wilmer, it will bring a smile to our face. I hope "Where there's a Wil" goes all the way. Later

    There's always a need for lefty hitting catchers. My kid signs elsewhere: https://www.mlb.com/player/juan-centeno-518542 Later

    But Blade III gave us Ryan Reynolds in unmasked snarkiness. That should be worth something. Later

    Benjamin Grimm wrote: It's actually a pretty good line. Yeah, it was. But a snide slap at the team still wasn't really appropriate when you're announcing an individual award. Its like announcing an Oscar and saying, "And the winner is _______, who won the award in a really shitty movie". Later

    Did anyone see the guy from MLB (Jack O'Connell, who is, I think, the Treasurer) making the announcement? And I quote: "Jacob deGrom receiving more support from the baseball writers than his teammates." SHEESH!!! What a douchebag. He probably bet on someone else. Later

    Help might not be the best cover, but it certainly summarizes what we feel the manager needs. Later

But it's when you start rigging out your home park with electronic devices not available to the other side that it crosses the line over to cheating and then, yeah, the commish's office has to step in on this. For the same reasons, if/when they install robo-ump for B/S calls then the set-up and operation of that stuff HAS TO BE kept out of the paws of the home team. Agreed. And if they found you have installed shit and are stealing signs, automatic post-season ban. Exactly. What ever happened to stealing signs the good old fashioned way? Later

Just comparing against the NL candidates: NL rookie position players, by fWAR/600 PA, min 150 PA: fWAR/600 PLAYER (RoY position player rank) 6.5 Jeff McNeil (#5) 4.9 Harrison Bader (#4) 4.6 Ronald Acuna (#1) 4.5 Juan Soto (#2) 3.3 Jorge Alfaro 3.0 Brian Anderson (#3) I certainly understand not voting for a player on the assumption of what they might have done in games they didn't play, but also rarely up to the player to make that call. McNeil was destroying AA/AAA for almost 400 PA before getting called up and the team was in free fall for most of that (for about the last 85% of the season up to the point McNeil was called up, the Mets were 28-55) When he wins the MVP next year, we're all gonna' laugh.

    A lot of good ones. The final winner could come out of this group. Later

    I'd be all in on this. He's not a typical lefty (LOOGY) reliever. He can close, set-up and pitch multiple innings - (big) IF he's handled properly and given rest when needed. Later
