    I think a list of each manager and GM's fallback phrases is fun to compile. His "Know wha' I mean?" or his "We battled."

    Really, it's mainly Harvey who blew up the third time through the lineup. But it's not like we weren't holding our breath up until that point. So if they want to see if they at least make him a successful five-inning pitcher, fine. Making that a norm for all starters is another order, though. And we're starting to look at the four- or four-plus-inning start become more normalized. I don't know if Harvey will be back, but almost anything would be a step forward for him. Crikey.

    Bobby Doerr, nine-time All-Star, World War II vet (though he served stateside), and oldest living member of the Hall of Fame, dies at 99. [fimg=583]https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/003/707/719/hi-res-2af6ddfaf8104ffac0b26d34a1cbaed5_crop_north.jpg?h=533&w=800&q=70&crop_x=center&crop_y=top[/fimg] His middle name was Pershing, after the general.

    He was interesting, but that interviewer talked over him through the whole thing, often answering his own questions.
  5. Edgy MD
    I don't think that necessarily follows. Nor do I think the Mets injury issues will ever disappear. Though it doesn't take long to connect Jeff Wilpon to Mike Barwis.

    Man, you know what defensive stats tell me? Andruw Jones laps the field in terms of defensive productivity in centerfield. And almost all of that came before he turned 26. I get the idea that, if he makes the Hall of Fame, it's going to be a long and painful process, but if you trust the available defensive numbers at all, they suggest he's a pretty easy pick.

    If we still want Brown, I hear the Atlantic League's Southern Maryland Blue Crabs are willing to talk.

    Baseball-Reference ranks him eighth all-time in WAR among centerfielders, and that's (obviously) not including his post-season record. They have him ninth in JAWS. All the guys ahead of him are in the Hall of Fame. Hall of Famers behind him include Richie Ashburn, Andre Dawson, Slidin' Billy Hamilton, Larry Doby, Kirby Puckett, Max Carey, Earl Averill, Earle Combs, Edd Roush*, Hack Wilson, and Hugh Duffy. Fangraphs has him eighth in fWAR, behind Willie Mays, Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Ken Griffey, Jr., and Al Simmons * Also joins Gregg Jefferies and Donn Clendennon in the Non-Traditional-Double-Consonant-at-the-End-of-My-First-Name Hall of Fame

We're going to elect him, if we elect him, based on that, and on his historically outstanding post-season performances, on top of everything else, including what you noted.

    One of the most efficient basestealers of all time. One of the most successful, if not the most successful, post season player of all time.

    Maybe his request will be for a PR on his hat.

    Yeah, but those summations of his performances are sort of condensed. He wasn't meh in the first phase of his career with Baltimore, he was lousy. He was playing-his-way-out-of-the-majors bad. And last season, he didn't revert to meh. He was merely very good. As opposed to the great he had been. But that "merely very good" even, was a product of a crappy first nine or 10 weeks, and then an excellent 15 or 16 weeks to finish. If he's trending, it can be argued, he's trending up, at least from one perspective.

    One thing about Walker, after his trade to Milwaukee, he totally lived up to his name, walking like a total fiend. It really helped salvage his season statistically, putting up an on-base percentage 70 points higher than he did with the Mets. I never really warmed to Neil, probably due at least in part to his hair being very Jeff Wilpon-y. Not particularly fair, I know, but if we could have the Neil Walker the Brewers got, well, sign me up.
  15. Edgy MD
    Hey, it's not like Cleveland would sell us a secondbaseman who was about to turn into a lemon, right?
  16. Edgy MD
    Not much of a reason, but I went for THAT'S GOTTA HURT because Florry looks like he's straining to poo.
  17. Edgy MD
    Probably not, but I think he'd be more of a starting point than a throw-in.

After the injuries and inconsistency I fear Wheeler is looked at as more of a project than a chip. And after recurring hamstring injuries, two consecutive seasons of diminished performances, and a salary bump due, with three seasons (or two plus a buyout) locked in, I would think Kipnis' contract would be looked on as a declining asset. Benjamin Grimm wrote: Joel Sherman, in the New York Post, suggests Robert Gsellman and Luis Guillorme for Kipnis. I would change that "and" to an "or" if I were Shermy. If you want to spice up a Gsellman offer, I'd choose somebody a little (or a lot) more out there than Guillorme. Dale Burdick or somebody.

    That's the rub. What do you think will reel him in? Wheeler?

    A half season of depressed statistical achievement last year shouldn't be enough to take all the bloom off of the rose that is Cleveland secondbaseman Jason Kipnis. A mid-career lefty swinger with good power for a secondbaseman, whose price is starting to get steep for his midwestern trading town team, with brown hair parted way over to the side, and with a single-team résumé, he's about as analogous a comparison as you can get for Neil Walker. Plus he comes from Mickey Callaway's old team. Jason Kipnis ... your new Mets secondbaseman?

    Wow, both Plaweckis were in the wedding party, along with at least two players from rival organizations.

    Josh Beckett, 138-game-winner in Major League Baseball and MVP of the 2003 World Series, has apparently heard how fun it is to get raucous at concerts, but has has an incorrect idea of how this is done. He was at an open mic night at a Texas country club when he reportedly jumped on the stage to tackle the singer while he was performing. He claims to have been attempting to stage-dive, but nowhere in any responsible description of that activity can "jumping on and slamming the vocalist" be found. Bad nights drunk are bad nights drunk, but unfortunately lasting damage was done. TMZ said police were called, and that the singer suffered serious injuries, including a torn rotator cuff. Hey, look, TMZ not only got the story, but a photo.

    That dream took a punch in the gut today as Jannis gave up three runs in five innings. He took the loss, but he struck out five and walked only one. David Thompson went 1-2 with two walks.
