It was my last answer. I wanted to answer the guy who had an outlier season and won the MVP for the Padres during the steroids era. Turned out he was on "the juice" (everybody was shocked, shocked, shocked to learn this) and he died very young. I knew all of this stuff but I couldn't think of the guy's name. I could even visualize his confessional Sports Illustrated cover.

So I was about to give up. Or take a wild guess at somebody else. But then suddenly, his name finally came to me. Ken Caminiti. I'm getting old.

  9. I'm not sure why the Mets would sell, given Cohen's wealth and his willingness -- heck, eagerness -- to spend it on payroll. What would the Mets reduce payroll-wise? A negligible amount of salary? And for what? To get back some AA chumps? Might as well ride it out. They're only seven games out and almost half the teams will make the playoffs. The schedule is very forgiving. If this were a total tear-down, where Alonso and McNeil were made available, then I'd understand, but it's not a total teardown. Raley and Pham are gonna bring back players that aren't on anybody's radar.
  10. I thought of Dotel, but I'm starting to wonder if maybe IG players are memorizing the teams he played for and that as a result, Dotel's getting to be a very popular answer. My sleeper Dotels are Bob Miller and Jesse Orosco and I know most of, if not all of the teams they played for.

There was a Brewer/Phillie slugger that I couldn't think of and it was driving me nuts. I could picture him, but vaguely. I don't know how, but I think that your post jarred my memory -- Larry Hisle.

  22. Here's some Keystone Cops stuff. Brett Baty badly misplays a routine infield pop fly and then, insult to injury, lets the ball bounce into his face. [media=youtube]N71dA2DjX8[/media] Hey! Do we have any card carrying members of the Brett Baty fielding club on this forum? Tell us what a great fielder Brett Baty is.

  24. Any card carrying members of the Justin Verlander Mets fan club out there? Raise your hands and tell us what a nice guy Verlander is.
  25. I currently have only three bobbles. A Seaver (ugly, but priceless), a Kiner-Murphy (just love it) and a Mr. Met. Have a Cespedes Gnome in the box if anyone wants it. Free + postage. (are we wading into new thread territory while awaiting tonight's IGT?) I have plenty of the Mets giveaway bobbleheads, though I haven't acquired one in five, maybe even ten years. I think that the Kiner-Murphy bobble is the best one ever released, at least from the standpoint of actually resembling the subjects they purport to represent.
