    "Start Spraying the News" did it for me. I voted "Champs". Another thought for you professional writer types - Why do newspapers use an apostrophe in Amazin's? It shouldn't be there unless its a possessive, right? Like the plural of Pizza isn't Pizza's. Later

    There was a KC first round pick in 1971 named (Alan or Roger) Schmuck. In German, it means "Jewelry". In colloquial Yiddish, it means the, er, "family jewels". Later

    Derek Jeter was interviewed by some YLDB Toady the other day, and he denied the "gift bag" stories. He and the toady had a big laugh about it. (It looked like the toady was getting paid by the laugh.) I wonder what the girl who got two of them thought about that. Later

    I couldn't read the fine print on the latest graphic, but according to SNY, Nimmo, Lugo, Walters, Gsellman were added to the 40-man roster. That means Becerra wasn't. Later

    I remember getting excited over his minor league K/IP numbers. The Mets have searching high and low for a lefty reliever and then get rid of the Leather Rocket? Puzzling. Later

    He was the hot speculation trading target earlier this year, when wright's return/status wasn't known. But I'm with JCL on this one. No incremental benefit to doing this, not even knowing who the Mets would give up. Later

    Ty Tyson? Did his parents have Tourette's? Or just a stutter? Later

    Zobrist is a valuable asset to a contending team. Worth kicking the tires to see what he'd cost. As mentioned in this thread, length of contract (up to three years) shouldn't be a major factor at his age because speed is not a big part of his game. Later

    Any newspaper that uses "Mess" for "Mets" should be boycotted. The sports editor should call in the headline writer and slap him up 'side the head. Later

It was a WATP, and this is the season for them, isn't it? Why not ask for the moon? Let's find out how much they really want Harvey. Its all for fun. Later

    OK, Betts and Bogaerts for Harvey, Nimmo and Cecilliani(or Reynolds). Get it done. And if they throw in Schilling's bloody sock, we can throw in Bobby Parnell, too. Later

    Benjamin Grimm wrote: Willets Point would surely know better than I would, but I get the sense that there's been a fair amount of background buzz in Boston about Matt Harvey being a Red Sock in 2016. There were a lot of stories/ sound bytes floating around a few months ago (later on Yahoo sports) in which several BoSox reporters were heard on WEEI radio (The Boston equivalent of WFAN) discussing how good Harvey would be atop their rotation. And, according to them, Matt is very high on their trading list. This wasn't caller blithering, this was guys who cover the team. Also- because the sports reporters on 3 of the 4 Connecticut TV stations think they're applying for jobs in Boston, they give us a lot of Boston sports results and even lead with Boston sports news. They have made similar comments about Harvey being a BoSox target, but I'm not sure if they were rehashing the comments made on WEEI. Later

    If he's that good, why are they trading him? If they have someone in the minors who they think is better, why not go for that guy? The price might be cheaper, since that player hasn't proven himself in the majors yet. And if they're going to get the inexperienced player, they might as well wait for Rosario, because reports indicate he'll be worth the wait. Pass on Simmons, unless the asking price is less than reported. Later

    Lou Brock, a player famous for using his legs* has had one amputated below the knee. https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/hall-of-famer-lou-brock-recovering-after-partial-amputation-of-left-leg-003749704.html?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma Wishing one of the class acts of his era all the best. Later *= he was also one of only three players to hit a home run into the centerfield bleachers in the Polo Grounds.

    Centerfield wrote: Good article. I don't know if he's right, but I like the size of the contracts he is predicting for the top line guys. None seem overly stupid. I don't get the buzz around Desmond. .674 OPS with 27 errors. A team with Ian Desmond should be looking to upgrade by getting a guy like Wilmer Flores. Exactly. Wilmer showed over the last half of the season and in the post season that he is capable of handling the position defensively. There are other holes to be filled during the off season - second base, center field, third base, bench and bullpen that have a higher priority. Later
