It's use-him-or-lose-him, so he's almost certain to get a chance, but will he be Jim Mann, or will he be... some other pitcher-dude who was better than Jim Mann that the Mets have presumably scored with in the Rule V draft? (Ugh, nobody's coming to mind.) Sean Gilmartin? What will that guy do?
-
Depends on which original touting we were talking about. .297 / .361/ .482 // .843 All-Star.
-
It's going to go through the NL East. Every two years, a player will re-declare his name. Two years from now, Anthony Rendon will become "Michel-Luc" Rendon. Two years after that, Bobby Parnell will become "Cleveland Parnell III." And finally two years after that, Ben Revere will become "Smokey." Just that. "Smokey." No last name.
-
Thing is, if the Phillies have to wait out the market on Cole Hamels (though I do disagree that his current four year/$96 million price tag is such a bargain), then how long must the Mets wait before reality strikes some pitching-hungry GM? It's a strange turnabout, but it seems everybody thinks they have enough pitching, and most everybody is shopping for batsmen. Except the Yankees, who must know they don't have enough of either.

Every player that costs money costs other players.

Dick and Richie Allen. Jim and Roger McGuinn.
-
B.J. Mora was reportedly also under consideration.
-
Let it be henceforth known that B.J. Upton is now Melvin Upton, Jr.

I dunno. If you worry about Duda's platoon splits, come down on Duda. The guys that will or won't take at-bats away from Cuddyer against right-handers are Nieuwenhuis and den Dekker. Or maybe Nimmo, which is the eventual idea anyhow. Mayberry is the guy to give coverage against lefties for Duda. If you want to give any Cuddyer's appearances against righties to Mayberry, I would beg you to check yo'self fo' you wreck yo'self.

Haymakers is great. It's a diligent hardworking wage-earning man. And it's lights-out punch to the jaw. I'm a fan of Abraham Lincoln High's nickname, but they've never quite nailed the logo. [fimg=450:ozfttytx]http://www.ihsa.org/Portals/0/Photos/IHSA%20State/Nicknames/RAILERMAN.jpg[/fimg:ozfttytx]

Defense, shmeefense. He may or may not stack up to Ian Desmond as a defender, but Desmond ain't so smoking' out there himself. Just hit, baby.

Tee-shirts delivered to players in camp:

He's been saying it during the winter too.

Survived the offseason and reported to camp with a full beard, which may be tired but it sure beats a return of his merkin. [fimg=500:1lbhlg8e]http://media.nj.com/mets_main/photo/geejpg-06bf9b3152a77df9.jpg[/fimg:1lbhlg8e] What's the story? Does he break camp in the bullpen? In the rotation? In the employ of another team? QUESTIONS!!

Well, if he gets hurt, he'll almost certainly fail to hit righties. But you really want the Mets to go into the season staring Kirk Nieuwenhuis in right over him two days out of three? That seems like a perfectly viable fallback plan, but I wouldn't make that an opening strategy. His career platoon split looks pretty typical, with .101 difference. vs. RHP: .274 / .332 / .450 // .782 vs. LHP: .291 / .378 / .504 // .883 It was more pronounced in his third of a season last year, but that was more about killing lefties, not about failing against righties. He had better numbers against righties in 2013.

Well, I'm speaking to the pursuit of this strange standard of "relevance."
-
Fifty RBI will surely be disappointing with the 23 homers he's gonna hit.
-
They're relevant to somebody. Me, certainly. Better than the Yankees? Feh. They're competing only against themselves, to gain the unworthy attention of the foolish and the modish.

Down-and-out Norwegian archeologist stumbles onto a long-buried Viking secret, that may provide the key to Viking mythology and their prophecy of the end of the world.

It's a problem with the defensive understanding of a player that folks tend to think in binary terms about players. Either they're defensive stars or defensive abominations, with little room for the nuance in between. And which one they are isn't so much linked to their defensive performance as their defensive reputation, their apparent character, and their batsmanship.
-
I don't think there's any reason he can't be Ian Desmond. I think the fan base may have an outsized notion of what Ian Desmond is based simply on the notion that they were denied Ian Desmond. He's just Ian Desmond.

Here we get to a guy who has not yet opened the season as a starter, and yet despite that (or more likely because of that), has grown into one of the most divisive figures in contemporary Mets history.

When we wanna watch Wilmer, which Wilmer will we watch?

I assume that X is sounded as an H, rather than a Z.

In addition to the two Foo Fighters shows in 2015, the Citi field twitter feed has let fly that the stadium will be carrying on in the Shea tradition and hosting at least pro wrestling event this year. OqGROsrU2fU
