The Daily News mantioned this morning that the Mets might have to put Castro on the DL (I forget the nature of his injury). It then went on to mention Mike DeFelice and someone else (a "veteran" now at Norfolk) as the possible replacements. I think that says a lot about the possibility of seeing Marrero behind the plate.

You carry around a smelly batting glove? That can't be too heavy. I wouldn't call it a burden. Later

As reported on WFAN. 4 years, $22.5 million. Russo is ranting - screaming that Reyes should fire his agent and mentioning that Omar Viaquel gets $5 million per. Now let's sign David long term. Later

Here are his numbers. http://www.baseball-reference.com/o/ortizda01.shtml You can't really tell from his defensive stats, but he had the reputation as a goshawful fielder. So that's probably why the NL teams passed on him. But he was making under $1 million per year, so I can't imagine why a small market team such as Kansas City didn't try to sign him. He immediately filled the "Vic Wertz - Big Fat First Baseman Who Can Hit" memorial roster spot for Boston, later held by Mo Vaughn. Later

SteveJRogers wrote: Is there a reason Sanchez wasn't put on the 60 day DL? Is there a limit on the DL placements? There is a 3 person limit on the number of players that can be on the 60 day DL at one time. Players on that list do not count against a team's 40 man roster. I think they put him on the 15 day list because they had to do something immediately in order to bring up another player, and it was done before they knew the full extent of his injuries. He can be transferred to the 60 day list if they need to add someone to the 40 man roster. Later

July 1, 2003: Ring was traded by the Chicago White Sox with Andrew Salvo (minors) and Edwin Almonte to the New York Mets for Roberto Alomar and cash. Later

I recall that one Supreme Couty Judge said about pornography, "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it". We've had several discussions here about "clutch hitter". Some have come up with a number of different statistical definitions. Some have said it doesn't exist. As for me, I might not be able to come up with a definition, but the numbers FK posted will make me think of that term when I look at Big Papi. Later

At what the Mets would have had to pay him under the current bargaining agreement, no. At when the Padres are paying him, yes. EDIT: and for the Mets to have signed him at that salary, he couldn't have joined the major league team until after May 1. They couldn't have waited that long, and had to do something. Later

I can't wait for someone covering the Braves to come up with a headline about Ryan Langerhans that's Diabetes-related. SC=100 Later

Does anyone think that once the season is over, we'll star seeing stories about how Wagner's finger was never fully healed? Later

Speaking of rotations, as the result of recent moves the rotation at Norfolk will include Pelfrey, Bannister and Perez. The rest of the rotation possibles include lefty prospect Evan McClain, Iriki and Lima. Well, three (maybe four) out of six ain't bad. Later
-
Speaking of the news, in today's early edition of the NY Daily News, the headline over the article about him being brought up was "Royce Rolls into Shea" (or something like that). Rolls Royce. Clever, eh? Not really. He's probably heard that play on his name a thousand times. And as soon as we heard of him, we all probably thought of it, too. Edgy, you're a professional editor. Would you allow a headline like that in your publication? Later

]On a sinking liner to shallow right, Milledge approached the ball tentatively, then stopped, allowing it to bounce in front of him for a single when it was obvious it was very, very catchable. Alex Ochoa disease. Later

With a bullpen of Owens, Lindstrom and Smith, all of whom throw serious heat, they can give batters a lot of o-fers. LAter

The B-Mets are now in first place. They moved a half game ahead of Portland and Trenton last night. And Brooklyn moved into a tie for first place with Staten Island which is quite a feat given their dreadful start this year. Given that Port St. Lucie already won the First Half Season in their Florida State League division, there could be three Mets farm teams in the playoffs. Later

According to baseballreference.com, Perez' top 10 comparisons at the same age: ]Sandy Koufax (976) * Jerry Reuss (973) Pete Falcone (972) John Sowders (968) Jose Rosado (965) Billy Pierce (963) Tom Underwood (958) Hal Gregg (957) Johnny Podres (955) Tom Glavine (955) Some pretty decent pitchers on that list.

I may have posted some of this before on the old board. When I was in high school, I was scouted by several major league teams (Cards and Phillies) as a pitcher and a catcher. I threw in the mid 80's at 16 years old. Then, one summer I was playing in a touch football game and suffered a shoulder separation in a freak accident. On a wide run I got blocked into a stone walk next to the field. It was before the days of arthroscopy and all surgery was "major". So I was told to see if it could heal itself through rest. Yes, it healed, but to this day I can't raise my arm totally vertically. And my velocity after the injury was initially closer to 40 than 80 MPH. I never was able to fully regain my pre-injury velocity. With advancements since those days, in diagnosis as wel as surgery, I hope that if Sanchez requires surgery, he gets it as soon as possible before calcification prevents his returning to his natural throwing arm slot/ strength.
