    I don't know about threes, but 2017 also claimed Bob Wolff and Felo Ramirez. Jimmy Piersall too.

    And all the respect and well-wishes we can give him, no doubt.

It's not a good impression. You're thinking of Cesar Puello, I think. I'm pretty certain that Minaya isn't the backup GM. If he's not even being given a department to run, it doesn't suggest to me that he's displacing John Ricco. Ricco has already served as interim GM while Alderson was being treated.

    If Lagares goes tomorrow, the Mets are down to two healthy MLB outfielders. Two!

    I tend to treat "special assistant" titles as symbolic roles. Which doesn't mean folks don't do anything in them, but they often go to minorities or veteran players who you want to publicly remain part of your brand. Spring training instructors and luxury suite gladhanders and veteran scouts who were once GMs and are backsliding in their careers often get the same title.

    Two pitchers. One jardinero.

    It means "baseball player.

    If Juan goes, the recognition that the Mets' defense failed the pitching staff woefully last season maybe goes with him.

Yeah, as a guy that has failed twice to buy the Mets, and always seemed to be trying to put together a big deal (he seems to be trying to work an angle on a kidney), he has pretty much had a forced-at-best relationship with Mets bigwigs since the day Mrs. Payson died. It would seem that a halfway decent director of alumni relations should have been able smooth this out on the down low, but if being an avid watcher of Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame politics has taught me anything, being an old man with declining relevance airing perceived and real grievances in public is a sad thing to watch. It's like, sheesh, Ed, take care of your health, play with your grandkids, don't get into a public feud trying to humiliate the Wilpons. Let them do that on their own.

    Mets 2017 Minor Leaguer Cody Decker, late of Team Israel and currently a minor league free agent, is engaged to semi-famed sideline reporter Jenn Sterger, who is part of Generation #MeToo, reporting on a humiliating "interview" with ESPN that was just an exercise in humiliation. [fimg=500]https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/2017/03/09/images/mlbf_1233543883_th_45.jpg[/fimg] Decker joins Ty Kelly as one of those dudes who survives the ambiguities of fate that the life on the fringes of the big leagues has to offer by being goofy. He's the one who convinced teammate Jorge Reyes to act deaf for months in order to punk Jeff Francoeur, filming a directing a documentary all along that was supposed to be about Reyes' triumph but was really about Francoeur's gullibility. The whole Mensch-on-the-Bench thing was apparently his idea also. He and Sterger reportedly met on Twitter. That says Red Flag to me, but kids these days ...

    I think they did in their own fashion, and the Mets beat the Astros to the World Series by two years. The real question is whether to do that again or believe despite the evidence of last season that what they built can continue.
  14. Edgy MD
    Yeah, if that account is true, then it's one step beyond in dumbness. If he believes the Yankees model of doing business is unsustainable, then he should be delighted when they double down on it. They'll experience massive setbacks and the Mets will be there to pick up the pieces. But he doesn't believe it. He either wants to believe it. Or wants the Yankees to believe he believes it so they will restrain themselves. It's a good symbol of how baseball is a terribly modeled industry, where one owner is pissed at another for not holding the line? You're supposed to be competitors.

    Allen Watson had a front row seat to the redundant artistry of Ozzie Smith and José Oquendo with the 1993-1995 Cards, and then got a similar view of Rey Ordóñez with the 1999 Mets. Allen is also an honored recipient of the Bob Friend Award, given to the rare player who spends exactly one season in New York, but splits it between the Yankees and Mets. Three more connectors between José and Rey.

    Todd Zeile is a pretty good universal answer. Todd joined José on the 1989-1995 Cards, and then found a similarly power-starved teammate in Rey on the 1999-2000 Mets. Gilkey is also correct, joining José (and Todd) on the 1990-1995 Cards and then Rey on the 1996 to 1998 Mets. It's amazing how Oquendo lasted just long enough to hand a torch off to Rey.
  17. Edgy MD
    JCL is correct with Todd Zeile who joined HoJo on the 1995 Cubs and Dudley on the 2004 Mets. Steve Trachsel, guessed along with Zeile by G-FaFiF, was also a member of those same 1995 Cubs and later 'shipped with Wright on the 2003-2006 Mets. José Oquendo and Rey Ordóñez had six teammates in common. Name them.
  18. Edgy MD
    John Franco is! He joined Johnson on the 1990-1993 Mets and Wright on the 2003-2004 edition.
  19. Edgy MD
    FaFiF is hot. Doc and Lee were teammates for one game at least, but not Doc and the Mick. Murcer joined Lido on the 1982 Yanks and Mickey on the 1965-66 team of the same name. Howard Johnson and David Wright had three teammates in common. Name them.
  20. Edgy MD
    That we know of. Correct! Mickey Mantle and Lee Mazzilli have had one teammate in common. Name him.
  21. Edgy MD
    Hodges, Foster, and Kingman round out the list. Dwight Gooden and Matt Harvey have shared one teammate. Name him.
  22. Edgy MD
    Leave the hints to me, Hinty McHintface!
  23. Edgy MD
    Swannie is our third.
  24. Edgy MD
    Seaver and Staub correct. Maglie incorrect.
  25. Edgy MD
    Willie Mays and Darryl Strawberry shared six teammates. Who were they?
