Then (my sneaky mind at work, not sure if its legal wrt MLB rules) lock in a healthy Profar. Trade them a minor league infielder (Tovar?) and a PTBNL (Thor, or a veteran or combo of players) for one of their minor league prospects and a PTBNL (who will be Profar once he has proven that he's healthy). If he doesn't get healthy, bail out with lower level players on both sides. Later

Here's what I know: (Or think I know - no specific link found) Players can be drafted from an organizations' double-A roster to another clubs' triple-A roster and also from an A-roster to an AA-roster. Players who are drafted in the minor league portion of the draft are not required to remain on the roster of the club which drafts them and are not subject to being returned to their original club. Players drafted to a AAA or AA club should be offered an opportunity to remain at that level during spring training, but it is not required. There is no provision for players being returned to their previous organizations. In return for the player,the original club receives the following cash considerations: Triple-A Draft $12,500 Double-A Draft $ 5,000. Any other rules? Later

    Well, at least they made a few moves at the meetings. I was beginning to think I was going to celebrate Pass-over twice this year. Later

    Heard the Mets signed Scott Rice to a minor league contract. No link yet. Later

    Its based on impression. It seems like he can't hold a lead. And when he doesn't have his best stuff, he doesn't seem able to find a way to compensate. The other two can "battle". He can't. He loses it quickly and never gets back on track. I have no figures to back it up, but its a gut feel. I find myself screaming at the set more when he pitches than with any of the other starters. Wheeler will move out of the scream zone when he matures and gets better command. Later

    I'd drive Niese to the airport, just to make sure he gets on the plane. Getting him off the Mets would drop my blood pressure by about 20 points. Later

    Told ya' so. A while ago (don't remember the thread) I predicted that around this time, some writer would drag out the Bobby Bonilla payoff and tie it to whether the Mets would have money for free agents. Let it be written. Let it be done. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7879021/mlb-new-york-mets-pay-bobby-bonilla-millions-years-come-espn-magazine Later

The original purpose of allowing it, because bullpen mounds were often inferior and not the same on the real mound, went away decades ago. Warm-ups at the beginning of innings - sure, but within an inning - nope, get your throwing done in the pen. This would save at least a minute per in-inning change. That'll do it. Later

At the start of an inning? My rule accommodates that. And the corollary to my new rule is that it may spur offense, which baseball has been looking to do since steroids have been banned. Maybe the negotiation would include an effectiveness clause, too. Later

    How many deals do you think the Mets will announce by the end of the meetings? That includes the Rule V Draft. Later

    Rest DL

    MFS62 replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk

    If a team wants to rest a player, they can do that now by simply not playing him. Seems this would allow them to replace that player on the 25 man for that week, so that the manager wouldn't be tempted to use the player in a key game situation during that time. To me, if a player's injured, he's injured. DL him. If not, formalizing a rest period is just a way to wussify the game. Later

    Frayed Knot wrote: The logjam comes if/when they try to shoe-horn Evan Gattis into LF at which point they'll have to deal away an Upton or two. From the NY Post: The Braves have already received attractive trade proposals for outfielder Justin Upton, With several free agents off the board, a deal could come together soon, per Joel Sherman, possibly during the upcoming Winter Meetings. The team�s addition of free agent Nick Markakis would appear to increase the odds of the club dealing Upton and/or Evan Gattis, though its final course remains unclear. If there's going to be a bunch of Uptons available out there, I'd still take Kate. Later
