    Sort of like how HOK is either the lead or supporting firm on the design of every ballpark. Everything devolving back to the yellow dog.

    What's kind of gross is the anthropomorphic biscuit in which the patty of butter serves as a tongue.

    I didn't want to say it. I thought it, but didn't want to say it. No, not LoDuca.

    I'm sorry. I followed a tangent. Pulled on a loose thread.

    Nobody?

    Quintanilla may be the second-best option remaining on the market, depending on how washed up you think Rafael Furcal is. Let's offer a minor-league deal to Jeter.

    Ah, makey more sense there. I'd certainly like to bring in Everth or some other ML vet to keep the heat on Tejada. He's certainly shown that heat can keep him focused.
  9. Edgy MD
    What's the motivation with releasing Geejada? Aren't they already guaranteed to be paid at this point anyhow?

    They'll have other things to write about on April 1. January is dead time for baseball writers.

    I agree that Hanley may have been the best opportunity on the free agent market. I'm only caveating that I understand not seeing it that way. He sure beats spilling open the purses for Michael Bourn.

    Name this Met offspring and budding soccer star.

    I would put it that way, though. He's not "Hanley," so much as "Hanley?," in that he comes with that question mark attached. Flores may not be a shortstop, but none of the other 29 teams seem to have thought Ramirez was one either. So I guess the main Hanley question is whether he gives you more bang for your buck in the outfield than Cuddyer. He's an appealing asset, but maybe not as obvious a fit as all that. And he cost the Sox four years and $87,800,000 with a vesting option for a fifth year at $22,000,000, while Cuddyer was a total of two years and $21,000,000. He's certainly meaningfully younger and therefore a better hope over the long haul, but, well... remember when one of the reasons folks decried Mets management was the lack of foresight Omar had in tacking all those damn extra years and vesting options at the end of contracts, leaving the team with one more year and one more year carrying an albatross?

    Rob Carson, who you may or may not remember from 2012 and 2013. Suspenderino. Doperino.

    Hard data I have not. What I have is a reasonable assumption, if not a proven fact, that systems with the best minor league performances will tend to produce better players than systems with the worst minor league performances. It's certainly easy enough for teams to queer the data, outfitting each team with a handful of ringers � going-nowhere non-prospect vets several years older than the median age for the league. But I don't think that's a characteristic of Alderson/DePodesta's system.

    Backman replacing Giles was THE lineup change in 1983-1984 offseason. Keys to a big improvement: Have 2/5 of your starting rotation finish 1st & 5th in RoY voting - and then watch them improve the year after that. Sure, but they also improved their scoring from 3.55 to 4.02 runs per game.

    Got to get my hands on that magazine. It looks to be a WW treasure trove.

    The tough part for me wasn't waiting for it to go bad in that game. The rule with San Francisco was to stay away from Bonds, and with a right-hander on the mound doing his job, the rest of the lineup wasn't particularly threatening. What I dreaded (and that which came to pass) was that Jones' start was so good that he got another shot in the World Series, getting selected over Glendon "2112" Rusch against the righty-killing Yankees, and having none of the same effectiveness. In my mind, David Wright's the compensation pick that we got when Jones became a Padre, giving us a bee-YOO-tiful chain of Strawberry-Jones-Wright from one 1980 draft pick, but reality doesn't usually tie up so pretty, and the Wright pick was compensation for Mike Hampton. With the Jones pick, they went for Corey Ragsdale. Anyhow, Kristi Jones, a wifey injected into the great Mets drama.

    We open with a flashback by Bobby Valentine to 2000, recounting a wifey encounter.

    Sarah, Nancy, Tom, and Anne, Cooperstown, 1992.

    So the Cashen APOLOGISTS would have you believe! Another minor oversight I noted in your excellent transaction record: [list:1yx85ew0]December 4, 1968 Jack DiLauro traded by the New York Mets to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for Hector Valle.[/list:u:1yx85ew0] Unless I'm missing some'n', this should be going the other way.

    Benjamin Grimm wrote: I don't know... the Mets improved quite a bit from 1983 to 1984 and this is what they did between those two seasons. None of these moves got anybody excited. December 8, 1983 New York Mets traded Bob Bailor and Carlos Diaz to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Sid Fernandez and Ross Jones. January 17, 1984 New York Mets signed free agent Rafael Santana. January 27, 1984 New York Mets signed free agent Dick Tidrow of the Chicago White Sox. January 30, 1984 New York Mets released Dave Kingman. February 22, 1984 New York Mets released Mark Bradley. March 17, 1984 New York Mets signed free agent Jerry Martin of the Kansas City Royals. April 1, 1984 New York Mets traded Tucker Ashford to the Kansas City Royals for Tom Edens. Missing here, somehow: January 20, 1984: Tom Seaver chosen by the Chicago White Sox from the New York Mets as a free agent compensation pick.

    I'm not sure what the discussion is centered around here.
