Has there been a bigger case in Met history of a wayward Met vet returning and his numerical successor deferring to give him the number off his back? Staub didn't reclaim 4, letting Bob Bailor beat him to it in spring 1981, despite Bailor having virtually no equity in it. Kingman went though spring training in 1981 in 5, only claiming 26 (I think) after Scott Holman failed to break camp with the team. Seaver, of course, didn't need to bump anybody for 41 in 1983, because it was already on mothballs. Mazzilli didn't reclaim 16, although Gooden reportedly offered it to him. Jesse Orosco found 47 vacant when he returned, but then he didn't get to return at all, getting traded for Joe McEwing, and passing the number onto him. None of them save Seaver had quite the legacy Reyes did the first time around, anyhow. I think the highest profile number reclamation was also #7, when Darryl Boston shed it in 1991 in deference to Hubie Brooks.

Wright to the 60-Day DL confirmed.

Ramos reminds me of Neil Allen. Compact motion. Big arsenal. Hard curve.

Nothing doing yet.

De Aza and Bastardo: Good night for whipping boys.

Don't go softly, De Aza!

I think you gotta cut him some slack here. The guy is either about to go work out or just finished. Oh, I certainly will. I just fear that there's a writer who will draw some reference to the popular-if-disturbing nickname for sleeveless tees, and un-necessary awkwardness, and yadda yadda.

Most of this series of transactions is confirmed. I'm just guessing at the Wright part of it, though. Either he or Duda are easily transferable to the 60 at this point. The return of Reyes.

You're allowed to do most whatever you want. Post naked. Draw a picture of Muhammed. And if and when you make another straw man argument, I'll again beg you not to.

Congratulations to St. Lucie first baseman/outfielder Kevin Taylor, the Florida State League's Player of the Week. Taylor went 13 for 31 with two home runs, two doubles, 11 RBIs and seven runs scored. POW!! KT is tied for fourth (with teammate Tomás Nido) in the league with a .309 batting average, and is second with a .393 on-base percentage. He leads St. Lucie seven home runs and 34 RBIs. Best thing about Kev is that he's found money, having been signed by the Mets just this offseason after playing in the American Association with the Laredo Lemurs. He's only 24! There's still some baseball in him!

My problem is some thing you read that "fans" said, you end up putting on folks here. I would beg you to stop. Wasn't that Steve's game? Always making an argument against something nobody said, and then under cross examination, confess it was somebody on WFAN he was actually fighting?

Way down yonder, where games are free and promo shots are late arriving, dwell the GCL Mets, a team buried so deep in the system that the Mets decided to discontinue them for a year. The players and coaches are 80% foreign born, but you'll see high school draftees take their turns too. That's where 2015's top pick Desmond Lindsey is currently parked, but he hasn't debuted yet. It's also notable that the further down you go in the chain, the more variation you get in performance, so you'll see .380 hitters, but also .120 hitters, as we sort through we mutations will take root and survive and which players will be washed up at 20. Like their big league counterparts, the GCL Mets rallied for two in the eighth, yesterday, and hung on for the win, taking the GCL Nats down and tying them for first place in the Gulf Coast League's Eastern Division. Not bad for a team that has but one home run through their first nine games. It's hard to tell who the stars are — some of these guys are enjoying their fifth pro season in "Rookie Ball" — but apart from Lindsay, Walter Lagrange has certainly made an early season mark. Eudor Garcia is demonstrating how drugs pay off, though he probably belongs in Brooklyn or Columbia by now. On the pitching side, Luis De Los Santos has been hard to touch, but again, he's not so young. One curiosity is reliever Ronald Sanchez. Sanchez pitched one season in the Dominican Summer League for the Cardinals back in 2013, and then took the next two years off before resurfacing with the Mets this season. Go get 'em, Ronnie! Watch out for hitting coach Yunir Garcia. Go ahead and Google photos of this guy. You'd be hard pressed to find a single shot that doesn't say that this guy means trouble.

Yeah, I thought of Rippey too. Alternative headlines: [list:swq6bpy0]METS CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE BY SENDING RODNEY ON A RIDE RODNEY GETS NO RESPECT FROM METS[/list:u:swq6bpy0]

Hmmm... Loney over Walker. Hmmm... Wilmer ain't played first in a month. Maybe Terry's forgotten.

Can we just review? The guy had yielded one run in 30 2/3 innings all season. The Mets go out there and score two runs in a single frame to win it. Opposing hitters had been batting .124 against him. One-twenty-four! How great not only to beat the Marlins, but the throw cold water on the hope represented by their big mid-season acquisition. Try as he might, he will never be José Valverde.

Reynolds seems the most likely candidate for replacement. The most likely initial lineup looks like Reyes at third, with Flores moving to first, giving Loney a day of bench action.
