Garner continued managing the Brewers for six+ more years after that!

Fun fact about bullpen coach Ricky Bones! He gave up a home run in 1993 to Mickey Tettleton that smashed the hood of [Phil Garner's] Camarro. When Bones returned to the dugout, Phil Garner called him down to the clubhouse tunnel and there he was waiting with a crowbar around the corner that turned into the locker room. Garner had to be restrained by several Brewers and later retreated to the players-only parking lot where he used the crowbar to destroy Bones’ Scwhinn bicycle he rode to the park each day. http://diamondhoggers.com/2014/02/07/hideous-ballplayer-week-nothing-bonus-about-ricky-bones/ WtF would Garner even have a crowbar in the locker room?

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: I think in general I'll remember him and Tim Stauffer if at all as guys they had around because they were really determined to save starter innings As a lefty specialist, I figured they really hoped he'd find a way to pitch his way into the post-season picture.

1) Arrived with Kelly Johnson a week before Cespedes, and even though they were merely decent, functional offensive players, the lights absolutely went on offensively with their arrival. Of course, Conforto came up at the same time. Then a week later, Cespedes came and the laser beams hit the disco ball 2) He really gave his body up in the injury that ultimately effectively ended his regular season. There was going to be a roster pinch, anyhow, but he probably wasn't going to be the guy left behind. 3) The prophecy failed. He was supposed to help a team win a championship every fifth year. Maybe he'd have brought the trophy home if the team was able to get him out on the field more. As it is, he went 1-1. How many other Mets are there with a 1.000 batting average in the World Series? I suppose Jesse Orosco is one.

The Mets spent a the bulk of the season without a lefty specialist (clutches pearls) and then they acquired Eric O'Flaherty. And promptly spent the rest of the season without a lefty specialist. Sometimes, you think you're buying low, but the stock just continues to plummet. Poor Eric. But poor Mets, who gave up Dawrin Frias, one of their more evolved prospects. Just kidding. He had been doing as bad as Eric, but in A ball. Oakland didn't use him at all after the trade, so maybe he's being re-conditioned.

He got signed away on the eve of spring training, and if Keith is accurate, he probably didn't get cheated.

And you know spring training is ready to begin in earnest when the last two unemployed 2015 Mets find homes. One has already been re-dressed. Minor league free agent and 2014 Met Vic Black remains on the market, near as I can tell.

For the fourth straight season, they've taken a pass on my suggested Beatniks with Bongos Night.

That's a good stat. I can't begin to think who might threaten to displace him.

Susan Slusser, who holds the Athletics beat for the San Francisco Chronicle, is reporting that retired 17-year vet and 1998 Met Tony Phillips has died of a heart attack at 56. Her source is Dave Stewart. Phillips was part of Sandy Alderson's powerhouse Athletics team that succeeded the Mets in dynastic profile at the end of the 1980s into the start of the 1990s. His passing follows close on the heels of A's teammates Bob Welch and Dave Henderson.

I'm glad it's in August. Pride cometh before the fall and all.

I'm sure he's trying to place these comments in a way that flatters the fans and the organization there. "This is a great place to be" isn't that hard to say without suggesting the last place sucked, but some folks can't hack that. I understand. Pitching during your kid's birth is on him, but I guess he thought that, the Mets' pitching depth being what it is, dropping out of the rotation for one start might become permanent really fast.

I wouldn't make much of save conversion rates. It's a very deceptive stat. It's more fair to add up saves and holds, because you get a credited with a "blown save" if you give up the lead in the sixth or seventh inning — a situation that was never going to be a save under any circumstances. So guys who transition from bullpen role players to closers over the course of their careers have a lousy save percentage, because they're getting tagged in the denominator for unsuccessful outings during their periods as setup men, but not getting credit in the numerator for successful outings. He's had 59 holds to go with his 37 career saves. With 24 "blown saves" (which are really blown leads), that gives him a 79.2% conversion rate, which strikes me as more or less healthy.

Last year, with Niese being joined by Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom, Noah Sydergaard, Steven Matz and Bartolo Colon, there weren't always enough starts to go around. When the playoffs arrived and chances to pitch became even scarcer — and the stakes got higher — Niese was left off the roster. Not quite, Daily News. He made the roster and got some big outs out of the pen, putting aside the eighth inning of game two when he and Reed didn't get it done.

That may be a grown-up Abby, but I know they had a second they adopted. [fimg=500]http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.455387.1314605662!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_970/amd-parnell1-jpg.jpg[/fimg]

Let us take a moment to bid farewell and recall our memories of Maegan Parnell.

He came out of a small school (Charleston Southern, 3,600 students) where he was as skinny as a rail, swung between the pen and starting, and put up an 8.86 ERA his last year there, and got nonetheless taken in the ninth round by a Mets team that saw something. #scouting

My strongest memory is the day he hit 103(!!) on the gun. I thought, "That can't be right... thing needs to be re-calibrated." Then I thought, "Nonetheless, that is impressive." Then I thought, "His arm isn't going to last any longer than Joel Zumaya's did."

And so shrinks the ever-diminishing club of Mets Who Played at Shea. Dang man, that beard.

We still have a lot of incomplete information. Feel free to pursue: Projected Roster Goeddel Morris Duda Flores Tejada Cespedes Conforto de Aza Granderson Lagares Also on 40-Man Gsellman Montero Ynoa Alvarez Robles Campbell Herrera Reynolds Also in Camp Below Pimentel Bradford Henderson Sewald Thornton Gomez Monell Cecchini Kelly Smith Taijeron Amazin' how in this day and age, a vet like Grandy Man can keep things in the closet. (The reports we have on him are just speculative stuff from a gossip site.) Younger guys are actually easier to dig up because, despite not having a decade in the spotlight, they are more open with their lives through social media. Young Latinos are near impossible, because they spend the offseason out of the country doing their own thing, away from the American electronic media. Jerks.
