Many celebs are attending the basketball playoffs. I have a feeling that we'll be seeing them behind home plate again once that season is over, IF the Mets give them a reason to return.

I remember on the old board when the Mets named a hitting coordinator. I wondered how that differed from a hitting coach and was told the coordinator sets the approach for the entire organization.
If you check the daily minor league box scores (thank you Brock), you'll notice that approach isn't working at any level. Too many games with fewer than nine hits of any kind and the AA team was no-hit twice within a week.
Maybe they have to re-evaluate what the coordinator is doing and let him coordinate with some other organization.

He looks very thin. I don't think its his diet, but because he has to run to back up third base every time he throws a pitch*.

*= I think I first saw that line in Joe Garagiola's book "Baseball is a funny Game"
I like the performance of the top 25 at the end of each report.
Weird, though, that so many of the top 10 were DNP. And how long will players have to stay with the big club before thy graduate from our prospects list?

At least one question has been answered. It wasn't clear from earlier reports whether Thornton would start, or come in after an "opener.
Which reminds me.
When the the term "long man" become "bulk reliever"?

I love this kid. About a year ago, I predicted that he would play a game for the Mets before the more highly rated Jett Williams.
Can't wait to see him.
