Determining the proper factor for missing players to smooth the numbers in FK's analysis might be a great topic for a SABR meeting, no? He did a great job. Later

The Mets have signed utility player Jared Young to a major league contract. This year's Iglesias? Young profiles as a potential bench bat for the Mets, with some serious pull-side power from the left side. The ball jumps off his bat, and he is able to drive the ball from the right-field line to left-center field, Defensively, Young profiles as a corner infielder and corner outfielder for the Mets, with considerable experience at all four positions. https://metsmerizedonline.com/deep-dive-into-newest-met-jared-young/https://metsmerizedonline.com/deep-dive-into-newest-met-jared-young/ Later

MLB study identifies factors for rise in pitching injuries
MFS62 replied to metirish's topic in New York Mets Talk
For a while arm injuries were blamed on the slider. What ever happened to that theory? Now it's the fastball? The old timers will tell you they don't pitch enough today. They baby their arms when younger and don't build them up. It doesn't specify what kinds of injuries, elbows or shoulders. Different pitches pit stress on different things. As the article says, more study is needed. Later -
Are we really talking about Alex Bregman?

MFS62 replied to Marshmallowmilkshake's topic in New York Mets Talk
The only tool Pete has over Bregman is power. While I'd like Pete to stay, I think the team would be better with Alex. I believe getting him would upgrade the defense at two corner infield positions. And this pitching staff strikes me as "contact pitchers'(think Ed Lynch), not getting a lot of strikeouts. So defense will be important. But I could live with either one. Later -
Ted Williams and Stan Musial celebrated the age of 41 by putting up years of 1.096 OPS with 29 HR and .924 OPS with 19 HR, respectively. And they didn't have the option of the DH. Those are obvious exceptions but you never know how someone will age. Later

Just thinking of the good old days when deals were announced on Monday, so they would get the back pages on Tuesday (after the weekend NFL news had died down). Sigh Fie on you, internet age, when all news is instantly known. Later

As I mentioned in another post, I saw writers on two two Mets web sites (Metsonline and amazin' avenue) project the starting lineup that had Nimmo batting cleanup. I don't see Nimmo batting cleanup for a team that intends to battle for a pennant. But I'm not sure where it should be. Later

No, but it gives the player the opportunity to avoid minor injuries he might get by playing the field that would keep him at a higher level of productive longer/ delay the decrease. Still a small sample size but that is my opinion. Later

I think you would have to factor the DH into those numbers. At first glance it appears that only Cabrera and Frank Robinson spent a lot of their final years there, and that reduced the wear and tear they would have had by playing the field every day (IMO). That said, Miggy's OPS had dropped into the 600's by 38, but Frank's was still in the .solid 800's at the end. Junior was still playing the field at 38. when his OPS was .738. So you can't draw any conclusion from that. As we get a larger sample size of the players affected by the DH, while Soto and Vlad will be moving toward the end of their careers, the numbers may be more predictive. I hope Soto, if he is still a Met, will have numbers closer to Robby and Junior than to Miggy. Time will tell. Later

"When the cat's away, the mice will play" I hope this isn't an all day celebration/event. Stearns shouldn't spend too much time at the press conference instead of talking to other free agents. Later

I couldn't bring myself to vote for a cover with Pete Rose on it (for whatever reason), so I took the other one. If his image doesn't belong in Cooperstown, it doesn't belong in Stockholm, either. Later

I read a few days ago that Pete says he will give the Mets the chance to match the best offer he receives. Sounds like he wants to stay. Later
