Why do you think Fernando is a lock? He has a cultural significance, and that is not nothing, but just sticking to Met-related lefthanders, it is hard to argue that Jerry Koosman, Frank Viola, and Johan Santana didn't all have stronger overall careers. (OE: Frank Tanana, too, while I am working within that subset.) He was a better hitter than all of them, and a better fielder than all of them save Santana, but even so.

Well, no major losses because it is half a minute into the free agency period. But losing Pete Alonso or Edwin Diaz would certainly qualify as major should that come to pass. Starling Marte already is primarily in a reserve role, reduced mainly to DH vs. lefthanders and very occasional outfielder.

Most interesting to me would be finding out who is on this committee. Back-door committees should probably be made up entirely of Hall-of-Famers (it's their club, in the end), but they tend to make them hybrids of Hall members, executives, and veteran/retired writers.

Ron Howard's OPS, to be fair, did not go down because his performance declined. He left TV to direct films, but he might well have stayed just as productive had he stuck to sitcom acting.

Álvarez was pretty effective also. He was certainly shaky for a few weeks before his demotion, but was kinda matching Torrens step for step the last two months. Torrens was certainly more consistent the whole year though, and may even have been worthy of a GG nomination, if that sort of thing matters, but Bailey definitely deserved his hardware, and won it running away. I am on Team Torrens also.

Who do you think was the Mets defensive MVP this year? They got their best play from the catcher position, but seeing as nobody played a majority of the innings there, it is hard to go to bat for Torrens or Álvarez. On the other hand, Torrens was really valuable when he was out there, and the catching position is where value can be valuable. Baty added a lot of surprising value by being comfortable at second, and the obvious candidate would be Lindor. He plays a premium position, plays it everyday, and plays it well. It's just ... he didn't play it particularly well this year, and even had some spots where his head was less than perfectly in the game. Torrens may well be the answer.

That yellow glove on Sasaki certainly pops.

I am knuts for Ted Knight, but a Caddyshack reference is far out there!

Pulling Max Scherzer sure seemed like an own-goal also.

One trick that is no secret at all is to steal. Another is to hit-and-run. A third is to squeeze bunt if the defense is back. Three different options right up front, apart from things to do in order to improve the situation in the first place. Build your approach around taking the double-play away from the defense, and all those infuriating we-got-the-guy-in-scoring-position-with-less-than-two-outs-but-we-didn't-score situations start disappearing.

And I don't think the laws of physics allow making the 5' 8"/245 lb Alejandro Kirk run faster. Plenty of strategies to avoid the DP, including keeping Alejandro Kirks out of a position to hit into them.

Falling into the double-play trap in the end. The first function of a manager should be avoiding double-plays.

Sorry. When one (like myself, for instance) specifically sets the size of an image to keep it from blowing up to the full length of your screens, it does not render responsively, and so does not shrink to no more than the width of the screen of the device it is appearing on. And so the right side of my image may run off the right side of the screen on some devices. That is sad. It is probably fixable, but my programming skills are rusty.

Two Omar references in one day!

By chance, Sandy is the brother of Tim Johnson, the Blue Jays manager who gained a sad sort of ignominy, getting exposed for stolen valor, attempting to inspire his players with fabricated tales of battlefield service during The Vietnam War, when he in fact done his wartime service stateside in The Marine Corps Reserve. Tim described his exposure and his apology as a weight lifted off of him, and the team went into Spring Training the next season with him still at the helm, hoping to put the events behind them, but the story would not go away and he was let go before Opening Day. He would go on to a long career managing in The Mexican League, as well the US-based independent minors.

Legendary New York Times crossword editor Will Shortz does not seem aware of Rob Manfred's rule changes. [FIMG=600]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/screen-shot-2025-10-30-at-12.29.47-am.png[/FIMG]

That team must have an interesting t-shirt design.

The best way to get an early entry into the HoF is to die — which quickly disqualifies you from living a long life to enjoy it — or to suffer a catastrophic injury mid-career that forces you into retiring early, while somehow racking up enough productivity in your abbreviated career to not only get in, but get in quickly. The only one who seemingly had a chance at enjoying Koufax' extended living legend status would seemingly be Kirby Puckett, and that sadly did not work out.

Here is Sandir Johnson in the media guide, sharing a page with John Ricco (unshown) and a fully clothed Tony Bernazard. [FIMG=600]https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/sandy.jpg[/FIMG] Among the future stars he played with were Stargell, Steve Blass, Gold Glover Gene Alley, Dock Ellis, Al Oliver, Manny Sanguillen, Bob Moose, and Gene Garber. 1962 Met Larry Foss was a teammate as well. He also played with future Washington Senator Dick Lines, who was nobody's idea of a star, but he inspired millions by going through life with the name Dick Lines.

Carlos Carrasco in 2023 might qualify, coming off a 15-7 season before just falling off the table the next year. He was meant to be #3, I guess, behind the double hammer of Scherzer and Verlander, but the latter didn't debut until May after injuring himself in the spring. But that is the sad nature of pitching. Unlike with other athletes, who tend to fade as they age, pitching careers are more prone to just collapsing. But yeah, with a team that finished just outside the money, even getting any productivity at all out of Manea would have made the difference. He probably led the team in the difference between his projected output and his actual performance.

Yeah, you get a Caucasian ballplayer from the mid-century named Sandy, and you might figure he was nicknamed by a forgetful manager or teammate because of his sandy hair. But nope, that was a diminutive of his actual name. Other players entering the organization in this era would have been Daniel Murphy and Justin Turner on the American side, and Jenrry Mejia and Jeurys Familia on the foreign side. But I get the idea that at this point in his career as VP of scouting, he was more about structure and process — hiring the scouts, assigning them to territories, establishing a hierarchy and a system of cross checking, rather than directly scouting and reviewing reports from underlings and making choices, which I presume would have fallen more to scouting director Rudy Terrassas. He almost certainly was in the war room on draft day, though.

My wife is going through some health ****, and that got her a prescription for physical rehab therapy. She is not a fan, but she mostly does it to indulge me. She isn't always happy with the attention she gets from the staff, but yesterday, she was far more peeved with the interactions between the guy at the next station and his therapist. He seemed to be in his late seventies, but despite seemingly having all his faculties and wits about him and being in good shape, the therapist was condescending to him and raising her voice like he was mentally addled and adrift in space. So she struck up a conversation with the guy. He actually was being rehabbed for a fall he had take in the gym — while running the track — and apparently the doctor suggested he be screened for a concussion, and the therapist's idea of concussion screening was screaming into the guy's face. So they laughed about that, they talked about injuries, she encouraged him for his abilities, and he mentioned some of his injuries came from his minor league baseball career. She said that her husband was a baseball nut and asked his name, and he said that I never would have heard of him, because he was in the Pittsburgh system, peaked at A-ball, and that was back in 1966. When the therapist returned to him, Ms. Edgy told her that the guy was a ballplayer and the therapist flatteringly said that maybe she should get his autograph, but she was still being condescending. She came home and told me about it and said the guy's name was "Sandy Johnson" and asked if the name rang any bells. I told her that the baseball had a lot of Sandys and a LOT of Johnsons, but strangely, the name wasn't un-familiar. It stuck with me, so I grabbed my stack of media guides, and there he was. Sandy Johnson, special assistant to the GM, assistant GM, and vice president of scouting for the Mets, circa 2006-2009. This was actually at the end of his career, having previously earned a ring with the Diamondbacks, and had long successful stints at the top of the chain for the Rangers and Padres. With the Rangers, according to the media guide, he was instrumental in signing Ivan Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa, Kevin Brown, and Rob Nen. (Check out the story here of him scouting Pudge.). One of the first scouts he hired as assistant GM there was Omar Minaya, and Omar returned the favor, bringing him aboard with the Mets. His last season, the Mets were losing faith in Omar, and reportedly gave Sandy a "blank check" to delay his retirement, stay on board, and help Omar dig out of his mess. With the Pads, he helped sign Benito Santiago, Sandy Alomar, Jr., and Mitch Williams. Media guide editors tend to give you credit that isn't yours to take if you were in the right place at the right time, but hey, they aren't saying he signed Roberto Alomar, or Andy Benes. It turns out the guy is 85. He played minor league ball with Willie Stargell and probably a bunch of other Lumber Company Pirates; he has a World Series ring and Mets pedigree; clearly knows David Wright, Carlos Beltrán, a few Hall of Famers, and at least one US president — and there he was getting yelled at in the face at the medical center's physical therapy ward. It's a cruel world.

It appeared offiically on the Mets site, so I guess it is now. Cuba must have the greatest training in the world, because Roberto Peña looks pretty jacked for an 18-year-old. He first gained attention with the under-15 international team, and like a new crop of comers, he has found his way to the US early on, rather than mid-career.

Loverboy certainly didn't do well in the majors this year, but his sample size was small, and he had simply a terrific season at AAA, and for what it is worth (and the Mets probably are paying at least some attention to this) MLB will be using the automated strike zone rules in 2026 that were in place at AAA last season. While it takes little more than a spot on the 40 and a pulse to make the projected roster layout in late October, all that, along with a lack of options and a lefthandedness, give Lovesick a meaningful chance at still being on that roster at the end of March.

The Mets have done that often enough with sons of John Franco, Matt Galante, etc. So, Troy's minor league playing career was relatively brief and uneventful — as what that of his father — but he follows his dad in cracking the bigs as a coach. And not a lot of backup catchers who peak in the Carolina League make it to MLB as a batting coach, let alone earn a World Series ring with a 106-win team as such, which Troy did back in 2022.

People certainly disliked her, but Grant's takeover was pretty complete before Mrs. Payson passed. Her shares passed into the control of her husband, who had other interests, and he pushed the team on his five kids. Running the club kind of bounced around like a hot potato among them, with none having much more interest than he did, until it landed in the lap of the youngest daughter. She was a fan, but knew nothing about management, and did not control the family fortune, making reinvestment problematic. (And in fairness, her mother's model was to run the team like a museum or opera house or other public institution.) So she let Grant be Grant for a few years until the family could get on the same page with regard to selling. Many a family business falls on hard times the same way. Sometimes, the only one that can get you to march to the same beat was the one who died and left a mess. When her daughters came up with the unpopular idea of securing a mule for a mascot, one of the proposed names was "Kranemule." That suggestion was passed on to Ed, and still being a competitive dude despite being winding down his less-than-stellar career, didn't particularly find the suggestion as affectionate as it was likely meant, and he suggested "deMulet" as an alternative. I dinna know if that was the straw that broke the camel's back, but I kinna imagine ladies of polite society dinna like being compared to mules any more than professional athletes, and Krane ended his career on the outs with the family. But the crash of the franchise in the late seventies is understood to have been almost synonymous with the deadline deals of 1977, and those were particularly associated with Grant, and to a lesser extent GM Joe McDonald, and the stadium, of course, became known as Grant's tomb. Maybe she is the real villain, but narratives have a way of taking on a life of their own. The re-acquisition of Seaver, Kingman, and Staub in the early Doubleday, Inc. years was seemingly an attempt at canceling the sins against the fanbase that were still stinging, and the press kept Grant's name linked intimately to those sins. Her husband was ambassador to Jamaica and kind of seen as a shady Nixon crony, and died of a heart attack in the wake of the collapse of the presidency. (Man, 50 years is a long time to be a widow.)
