I like that you can be retired but still need a few months of inactivity before you drop off the list completely. Still seeing his name in the rankings for a bit will probably help Dan Haren's transition.

Yeah, that was exciting to nobody. But one bottom-line indication is that, as the Mets pitchers generally lack an extended track record, or are only one year removed from a major injury, this metric doesn't particularly flatter them. By mid-season, things may look different, but by current performance rankings, the Mets staff sits at a modest 13th.

I think these guys have learned that if you sew some infuriating nonsense into your HoF voting column, you'll get the most clicks you get all year.

He does. Or, at least he did last season. It has been more like even over the course of his career. But it's still an appealing prospect I think. Sometimes, the opposite-side batter strategy gives you an advantage not because of your batter's particular acumen against the opposite hand, but merely because it neutralizes the opposition's particular acumen against the same-side hand. Anyhow, "CESPEDES" (or more correctly, CÉSPEDES) has eight letters, so his hotline would more likely be some contraction like "1-800-CSPEDES" or the like.

Wonder if that lefty party in LA is going to lead to the Giants dialing 1-800-CESPEDES.

If Seaver's record is to be topped, I would rather it be topped by Griffey than Jeter. I'm guessing it won't be topped this year. I mean, the ones who are stingiest with their ballots, or go all grumpy and turn in a blank ballot, are not typically the ones writing columns and publishing their ballots beforehand. Griffey, interestingly, kind of gets extra points for the monster stats he didn't put up—being an outstanding and exciting player with an engaging style in his twenties, and aging and breaking down in his thirties, reportedly falling asleep in the clubhouse at the end of his career. While this could count against him in another era, in this one, it's led to a consensus assumption that he played clean. Maybe he did.

I didn't particularly appreciate it either and I'm full of joy. Isn't it possible that what he wrote is just his honest assessment? There is something very wrong with the state of the film industry today. Speilberg and Lucas have said as much themselves, even as they largely blame themselves for it.

LA Times is far less generous than I was. The issue, however, is whether "The Force Awakens" even deserves to be considered as a movie, because it's not. It's the anchoring element of a vast commercial program, painstakingly factory-made for maximal audience appeal, which means maximal inoffensiveness. The result tells us a lot about the state of entertainment today, and about the future of Hollywood. Abrams seems to follow the precept that the surest way to keep from putting a foot wrong is to walk only within the footprints of one's predecessors. As has been noted by a few reviewers who braved the intimidating weight of "Star Wars: the Phenomenon" to write critical pans, the new movie obsequiously replicates the formula of the original -- its set pieces, rhythm, pacing, even dialogue -- almost without advancing the story at all. It's a mark of Disney's own caretaker mentality that not only is a Jar Jar Binks-level blunder absent from "The Force Awakens," but so is surprise or even much suspense. One has to be a pretty inattentive viewer to be surprised or shocked by either the big reveal in the story (no spoilers!) or its denouement.

With approximately 27% of ballots counted, we're looking at at Bagwell, Griffey (100%!!), Piazza, and Raines. The noble cause of Alan Trammell going down in flames. Lasted a lot longer than Lou Whittaker (who may have had an even stronger case), anyhow.

Signed this evening to a minor league contract by the Braves. An interesting case was Álex Torres. Somehow managed to pitch his way off the team by walking the ballpark, while still posting a perfectly respectable ERA. Even as he often struck out a big hitter after initially putting two others on, nobody saw any sustainability in that act, and nobody argued for his continued retention. Wore an extraneous accent mark over the A in his first name. I mean, how else are you gonna pronounce it? Back when he was a Padre, he triggered one of Keith's more uncharitable and unfiltered Keith remarks, beholding his helmet-hat, crying, "If you're scared, get a dog."

Álex Torres represents the last of the Mets' minor league free agent who played with them in 2015, although two others (Vic Black, Zach Lutz) had played with them in prior years.

BillJamesOnline.com has a fun thing called "Starting Pitcher Rankings." The idea is to ape the rankings of golf and tennis. To not just get at who the best talent is, but not just get at who the hottest one is, either, but some representation of current and sustained high performance. He explains it more in depth here. The ranking increases with a guy putting up a game score, and decreases with inactivity. A score of 300 is the baseline. Anybody below 300 is unranked. I've been fooling around with this for a few days. Clayton Kershaw has been #1 over the last year or more. But there have been several #2s in that period, frequently challenging him but never taking his crown. The Mets have no pitchers in the top ten, due to inexperience and (in Harvey's case anyway) inactivity, but all are trending upwards. I'm posting the current rankings (or at least, those from a couple of days ago—these change even in the offseason), along with the trend lines from active and former Mets pitchers. It'd be nice to look back every few weeks and see Met guys climbing the charts.

Yeah, well, I can still hope. I'm guessing he turns into the new Lombardozzi. The guy who OPSes .600 (which isn't as non-viable as it used to be) and stays on the roster all year by playing all over the diamond.

Shea knishes with a mess of mustard that you can't not all over you are a perfect example of not-particuarly-well-executed ballpark food that nonetheless tastes great because it's ballpark food. My dad taught me to wish the relief pitcher luck as the bullpen car drove past. Kinderengagement!

Not so cheap when measured against the anticipated marginal upgrade, though. de Aza likely gives you more contact than Nieuwenhuis, and more veteran steadiness making him less likely to get lost for two months, but not much more than that. I'm not so confident that he won't still get outplayed by a waiver claim or NRI or assertive fringe player like Ceciliani. Hopefully, Nimmo will have obviated* him by mid-season and we'll never see. *Don't tell me there isn't a place in this language for the future perfect tense.

Pitcher warmup circles, cut into the foul ground behind home plate and near the dugouts. Actual foul ground behind home plate and near the dugouts. God bless Oakland Alameda County Coliseum or whatever it's called now.

Widespread knowledge of the science of bunting. The shift being used sparingly, only against laughably one-dimensional pull-hackers.

Stephen Drew to the Nats. One year. Three mills. I just hope he can give them everything he gave the Yankees the last two years.

Read Volume I here, as for the second straight offseason, the Mets lose Eric Young, Jr. to a minor league contract.

The Brewers clearly were impressed by the 2015 Mets, as they're gobbling up all the Mets' marginal outfielders. EY didn't get much of a chance to contribute, or contribute much when he did get a chance. All he cost the Mets was cash, but they're going to be kicking themselves if that cash amounts to anything.
