    The fact that the MFYs were the next-to-last major league team to integrate was maybe the primary reason I couldn't root for them when my team left Brooklyn. Later

Well Casey supposedly said of Goossen's prospect status that: 'he's only 20 years old and in ten years he had a good chance to be 30' I remember the numbers in the quote being 19 and 29. But, he was right. But why is everyone so concerned about the color of the walls (in this and other threads) in those photos? I'm asking that as a serious question. Don't the colors of the walls in old photos depend on how the pictures (film in those days) were processed and under what temperature and humidity conditions the pictures have since been stored?

    Possible call-up in September. 7 g, 12 IP, 13K, 1.28 WHIP. Later

    zips projections: Wheeler: 175 IP - 8.81 K/9 - 3.43 BB/9 - 0.77 HR/9 - 3.48 ERA - 3.58 FIP Montero: 144 IP - 8.65 K/9 - 3.11 BB/9 - 0.87 HR/9 - 3.61 ERA - 3.63 FIP Gee: 142 IP - 6.78 K/9 - 2.54 BB/9 - 1.14 HR/9 - 4.18 ERA - 4.24 FIP They project Montero closer to Wheeler than what Gee would provide.

The very first Hooters is right over the causeway from Tampa/ St. Pete in Clearwater. (I was in the building opposite it on a business project a few years ago) Went there for lunch for three days before I realized they serve food there. Later

    What do I see? From that picture, I se a pitcher with a weird leg kick in his follow through. As for this year, he'll start the season at AAA, but I'm not sure how he'll improve his table manners at those Las Vegas Casino pig out buffets. He will. however, improve his control, command and secondary pitches so well that he'll be called up mid year. From that point, he'll go 8-3, 3.28, 1.22 WHIP and have serious consideration for ROY.

    I didn't say he would accept those offers. Lots of happily married good looking guys have women throwing themselves at them. But, there is no such thing as a bad opportunity to say something bad about Derek Jeter. Later

    Edgy MD wrote: He needs to make the team or he has to pass through waivers? Yes. He's out of options. He would have to be put on waivers if he doesn't make the 25 man roster out of Spring Training. Later

    20 games, fewer than 15 innings. 3.95 ERA Later

A couple of times they got caught up in trying to show us how much they knew and forgot to tell us who we were watching do stuff on the screen(pitch, hit and field) . But overall, they weren't too bad. Later

    He makes the cover of GQ, and gets so many offers to model, he leaves baseball to pursue a career as a model and actor. But if he stays in baseball, .235 - 5- 14 in a limited backup role until Plawecki is called up. Whichever path he follows, he sets an all-time major league record by receiving 4,371 offers for dates from ex- Derek Jeter girlfriends. They all say they would like to have a date with someone who actually has a dick. Later

    He was fifth or sixth in (combined) BA in the minors last year. (As per BA). I hope his average would be up there again, but that he doesn't have enough at bats in the minors this year to find his way back to that list. Later

    And they bring in Alvarez to protect the lead against three lefty batters, and it looks like he's trying to walk to Las Vegas. Later

    Looks like David's favorite song is "Its All About the Base". And if it isn't , it soon will be if he keeps adding size to his tush. O.E. - After looking at the Spring Training pictures MF has posted (BTW- great job, MF - thanks), it appears that many of the Mets are sporting larger posteriors. Maybe its the cut of the uniforms. Later

    .250/ .315/ .375 Not sure how many ABs he will get. Later

    'Tis a quandary, because I think he may be out of options. He may have the best five "tools" of any of their outfield prospects. He has gone though an entire season under heavy testing scrutiny. If they have to send him down, I hope he passes through waivers, the Mets re-sign him and he can finally put it all together. If that can happen, ETA 2016.

    He may already be a better defensive catcher than Travis. But "round out his game" may mean playing some games at first base. He can hit. I expect him to spend at least part of the season with the big club, producing a slash line of .278/ .331/ .355. Later

    He has all the tools and lots of potential. But, I think he'll be kept at AA or AAA this year until he realizes that potential against all types of pitching. Later
  25. MFS62
    I root for all the players on the Mets to do well. And Niese is probably a very nice guy who loves kids and small animals. But when he pitches, he is hazardous to my health. I get agita. That's all. Later
