Sorry about the confusion, Grimmstone. I'm giving you credit for both Templetons. Great job, everybody. Tight race, which different contestants mining different veins of gold, while the Hahns and the Dreamers hunt for the outliers.

The New Jersey Herald has deduced that, while Teufel is indeed out at third, he has not taken his last bow. He "is to be reassigned" within the organization, so he may end up taking his cardboard box to Vegas from whence the twisted lip of Wally Backman has moved on. The Mets should keep going. Hire Bob Watson for batting coach, Mike Moriarty for first base, and Charlie Hudson for pitching coach.

If Votto tanks, then I get fired. Simple as that. Two sluggers in a row from the Reds come to Flushing and eat it? Along with George Foster? They'd never deal with the Reds again. But I'm betting on his skill set having better potential to grow old gracefully than Céspedes'. But you know, put them both in the same lineup, taking the psychic heat off of one another, and mercy! It's Keith and Gary. It's Olerud and Piazza. It's Buster Stookey and Mike Jaffe. Print me some playoff tickets.

And you know what I think of when I think of trading with teams desperate to get out of an overzealous commitment to their lefthanded firstbaseman who bats third? I think of John Olerud. I mean, yeah, I also think of Mo Vaughn, but still.

d'Kong76 wrote: I know you can't trade someone on the DL, but how does that work after the season is over and the player is expected to be ready for spring training? I'm not mentioning any names right now *wink wink* *sniff sniff* but a fun WATP could be made including the guy I may or may not be thinking of. The DL is closed right now, and all players are treated as active. I figure, yeah, crazy contract, but he's still productive, so it hasn't particularly depreciated yet (look what Fangraphs thinks he's been worth from year to year), AND it's not backloaded, so his cost in real dollars goes down toward the end of the contract, AND I'm trading them damaged goods. AND his brand has receded in the Harper/Trout era, even if he's still pretty devastating in his batsmanship. AND he's the perfect guy for this lineup, even if we have little idea how long that would last. Scared by $24.5 million per season over seven years? Sure, life is perilous, but it looks like they're about to offer north of $30 million to Yoenis Céspedes and his hinky leg and golfer's tendons over five, so who's crazy NOW, playa?!! Big time baseball management is a game fraught with RISK! It's wild, and it's ass, but it's my trade proposal to do with as I see fit.

Lucas Duda, Dominic Smith, Marcos Molina, and Eric Goeddel for Joey Votto. The Mets get the #3 hitter to allow Céspedes to quit pretending and be the cleanup guy he was born to be, and David Wright, God willing, to quit pretending and be that #2 guy. The Reds get their first basemen of the present AND the future, a potential top-of-the-rotation starter, and a reliever that deserves a higher profile than the Mets are giving him. Power, average, and a devastatingly good eye, Votto would be offer maniacal production in the middle of the Mets lineup. signed for seven more seasons plus an option/expensive buyout in 2024, Votto is expensive enough at the end of that contract that the Reds somehow overlook Duda and Molina being damaged goodniks.

It's amazin' that he went back to the very first year with Arizona, as bullpen coach, bench coach, and both first and third base coach. Snake fans seeing him in a Mets uniform is going to be like that first year seeing Rube Walker and Joe Pignatano coaching for the Braves. He outlasted eight managers!

Great, A-Rod wanted a tent, and Céspedes needs a whole camp. #24and1

A cocky surgeon with poor personal skills (but a champ at music trivia) gets his hands shattered in a car wreck. Seeking a cure for his nerve damage, he explores the DARK ARTS of the EAST, only to find himself newly empowered and caught up in a war between forces beyond his wildest reckoning.

There is a limit to the number of coach guys you can dress for the game and allow to sit in the dugout. Catching instructors such as Sandy Alomar, Jr., on the other hand, can be assigned to the bullpen during games (though I imagine there is a limit there also).

Unless they outright Montero or something (which they could), they seem to have five slots open on the roster to protect up to five of the following from the Rule V Draft: AAA --- Las Vegas 51s Chasen Bradford Kyle Johnson L.J. Mazzilli Tyler Pill Paul Sewald Travis Taijeron Beck Wheeler AA --- Binghamton Mets Jayce Boyd Xorge Carrillo Phillip Evans Ricky Knapp Luis Mateo Kevin McGowan Jeff McNeil Matt Oberste Paul Paez Tim Peterson Colton Plaia Amed Rosario Champ Stuart Logan Taylor A+ --- St. Lucie Mets Wuilmer Becerra Patrick Biondi Chris Flexen Marcos Molina John Mora Tomas Nido Corey Oswalt Scarlyn Reyes Jhoan Urena A --- Columbia Fireflies Tyler Bashlor Kevin Canelon Nabil Crismatt Jeff Diehl Jose Garcia Cameron Griffin Johnny Magliozzi Craig Missigman Christian Montgomery Natanael Ramos Joe Tuschak A- --- Brooklyn Cyclones Gabriel Feliz Ty Williams R --- Kingsport Mets Adrian Almeida Franklin Correa Ronald Guedez Jose Maria Jose Carlos Medina Dionis Rodriguez R --- GCL Mets Nicolas Debora Jose Geraldo Luis Montero Aneury Olivo Miguel Patino Pedro Perez Richard Reina Carlos Sanchez Extended Spring Training / Other Audry German Quick look, and I'm going with Becerra, Rosario, Molina, Oswald, and Seward. Oberste's lousy time of it in the AFL spares the Mets any panic over him being exposed.

Looks like Terry's younger brother.

That's pretty much two of the first guys on line to be Terry's successor sent packing. It's good to see a catching coach back on the staff. The team has sure seemed to need one. Sherlock only became available a week ago, when the Diamondbacks let him know that they'd like to retain him, but he wouldn't be their bench coach. Bet he's happy to lose that uniform.

After a 2-for-3 yesterday (his first two-hit game, by my reckoning), Tebow threw up a 1-for-4 with a double today, upping him to .190 / .266 / .241 // .507 which, sure, is a Doug Flynn line, but it's trending toward something redeemable. There are a handful of qualifying ballplayers — actual veteran ballplayers — with worse lines. The Coreys combined today for seven innings of one-run ball, with Corey Oswalt taking the win (4-1!!) with 5 innings of 3-hit ball, giving up 1 earned run, while walking 2 and striking out 3, followed by Corey Taylor throwing 2 perfect innings and striking out 4. Tom Goodwin's Scorpions have nonetheless become the first of the six 2016 AFL teams to be eliminated.

One effect of the Walker return is that it again tilts the Mets to the lefty-heavy lineup alignment. How big a problem that is depends on how much stock you put in Walker's numbers last year against lefthanders. Swapping out Bruce for Céspedes certainly changes that look a lot, but right now they look like exactly the sort of lineup that a lefty could eat up. Fortunately, the Braves don't look be starting any of those in the opening series.

Bully for some of the blue collar workers of the PSL area I guess. Yeah, I imagine some of that munny is going into the broader complex and perhaps the access roads and flood control and stuff.

I have a plan for that.

Mets are renewing their agreement to continue getting in embarrassing, alcohol related scrapes in Port St. Lucie for another 25 years. Part of the deal is $55 million in renovations to Tradition Field which, again, they would do well to rename "Gary Carter Field."

The grid makes it too easy. It makes it interesting, but it gives you too broad a target to shoot for. Congratulations to 86-Dreamer for swooping in there and getting some outliers.
