My adopted Met farmhand who made it to the big time. Probably five years ago when I was in Akron watching the B-Mets and the Ducks and explaining how to pronounce his name to the fans around me.
-
Interesting. But even if Ohtani stays in the lineup, the reliever is in the batting order, correct?

=Marshmallowmilkshake post_id=85737 time=1644533310 user_id=119] Loving calling the runner the Manfred Mann!
-
I'm too lazy to consult a box score, but I don't think he hits on the days he pitches. I think the rule is that once he leaves the game, the relievers would also have to hit (or be PHed for). I've been resigned to this inevitability for a while. Probably good for the Mets who, if their players can play to their career numbers and not their 2021 numbers, have more good hitters than places to put them. And I'm glad that after 50 years the AL and NL play by the same rules again. Now get rid of the Manfred Man in extra innings, OK?

Seriously? Nolan Ryan never won even once? I think Hideo Nomo did.

Nolan Ryan

How did we get so deep into this thread without Dwight Freaking Gooden? (OE...if I'd just shut up and typed, BG wouldn't have beaten me to the punch)
-
Is he the first pitcher to become a Met after no-hitting the Mets? I think so.
-
And for my next 1st round guess, I'll stay with Bob Ojeda.

I'm the first voter? I went with McRedass. Baez is worth more to a team that needs a shortstop. Cano is cooked. Lindor and McNeil are going to have to learn to play nice on the diamond, and the Mets will bet on Jeffy Mac getting his .300 swing back.

Cool. Robin Ventura

A devious person would just guess the heretofore unguessed Robin Ventura as a Metly first rounder and grab an easy five points, but we're not that devious, right? I propose that we remove Robin Ventura from the first round board.

According to the Fielding Bible our best defensive player was Thomas Nido, followed by Taijuan Walker. There are a few surprises on the list regarding how people rated.http://fieldingbible.com/TeamFieldershttp://fieldingbible.com/TeamFielders BRANDON NIMMO, GOLD GLOVER! One day when I'm bored, I'll give these metrics a good look. But based on the eyeball test, I always thought Nimmo was a better CF than his corner-outfielder-out-of-his-depth rep. So I'm glad the Fielding Bible gives him some love.

Steve Henderson. I think Mets brass billed him as a superstar, though that may have been just to keep away pitchfork-and-torch wielding Seaver fans.
-
Robbie Alomar seems like the type that would go in the first round. Speed, ballplayer look, baseball family. I'll go with him as my next 1st round guess.
-
Your bonus question: Which first round, before 2017, produced the lowest average career bWAR among all draftees? 1974.
-
First bonus question:. Beats me. 1994? Second bonus question: it's rather shocking how few first ladies I can think of. I need to shore up my first lady knowledge, as well as my Francophone city knowledge. I'll go early 20th century. Her name is Mrs. Edith Wilson, and she likes Woodrow, bub.

Most Accomplished Mets in Other Athletic Fields
Chad ochoseis replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
Jeff Conine was a Met for about half an hour, but a racquetball champ for much longer than that. http://lindamojer.com/04web_bkup/racqmag/1999/9906/996feat.htmhttp://lindamojer.com/04web_bkup/racqmag/1999/9906/996feat.htm -
Whoa...more than 9 ROYs. And I deliberately guessed on the high side. I have no clue on the bWAR question. I'll go with the late 80s on the basis that draft analytics were still only half baked then, if baked at all, and statistics for players who were in their prime in the 90s were skewed by steroids. Call it 1987.
-
I'm going to pass on the Francophone question and request another. I looked up the answer after missing it the first time. ROYs? Quite a few, I think. So many guys just passed through that I think we're ROYs at some point. I'll go with 9. And now that we're active again, I think Gary Gentry was on his way to greatness before he ran into arm trouble. What might have been if Dr. Frank Jobe had thought about harvesting tendons a few years sooner than he did? We might be talking about GG surgery and not TJ surgery. Anyway, Gary's my guess as another first round pick.
