Friends of Rico: Mets in Retirement in 2014
Edgy MD replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
Hey, Paul Lo Duca. Shut up nine times. -
Got the size of a power forward, but kept getting his shots blocked. "Get out of here with that Wieck-assed shit!"

Mets who were Seton Hall Pirates: Charlie Puleo Rick Cerone John Valentin Mo Vaughn

I'm guessing that the whole PtBNL-will-arrive-after-the-draft is merely unconfirmed speculation, but I'm teeing this thread up now. I'm growing susceptible to the notion that the answer is sluggy shortstop Alen Hanson, who has been at AA for about 90 games now, searching for his lost shaker of ObP, but otherwise looks to be a well-rounded shortstop, if not a leadoff hitter.

Eudor Garcia-Pacheco, round four, JuCo thirdbaseman. EUDOR MAN! Supposedly rakes, but may ending up sliding over to first.

I like his quick release in the video above, and yeah, he does seem to have some creative flair even fielding those dinky practice grounders. Got a wide stance and looks like he may be able to drive the ball. But the future is unknowable. Mets getting fat on shotstop prospects. Maybe one turns into an actual real-world shorstop.

Milton Ramos is a 2014 SS/2B with a 6-2 165 lb. frame from Hialeah, FL who attends American Heritage Plantation HS. Slender live bodied athletic build, lots of room to get stronger. Did not run 60 but has run down to 6.53 in the past. Very smooth and clean defensive actions, plays with flair and creativity, especially good charging the ball and on the move, tends to get flat footed when laying back, fun player to watch play the infield. Right handed hitter, open stance with a leg raise load, foot doesn't always get down in time, short quick line drive swing, will expand the zone at times, aggressive hitter, tools to improve with additional strength. Good student, signed with Florida Atlantic.

Mets take HS shortstop Milton Ramos round two. May be best defender of the class. You want to see him take batting and fielding practice? I guess you might!! [youtube:tac7o3r3]D2DqiY4kwBU[/youtube:tac7o3r3]

Hopefully it means he gets the first interview.

MFS62 wrote: Why pitch your closer in a non-save situation, especially when losing? Later Because using save situations to dictate when to use your closer is succumbing to a false hierarchy of values. He had already missed three days while pitchers of lesser status toiled. It was the Mets last best hope to win a game, and saving their allegedly best available pitcher for a save opportunity would have been counter-productive.

I conflate Andy Green (2b, 3b, 2009) with Andy Phillips (1B, OF, 2008). I do the best I can to keep them distinct and separate, and then I wake up some morning in November, and find they've again merged into one entity in my brain. I try mental exercises to keep them apart --- recite their career numbers, their prior teams, their disparate birthplaces --- placing them in separate mental rooms, but there is no cure for gravity, and they sadly keep sliding into the same dark mental basement. Occasionally, I find Andy Tomberlin down there with them.

I just means to make a point that a missed tag cost us big. Obviously, less than perfect defense and pitching wouldn't matter so much if the team would hit a little.

Hessman recently joined an exclusive club, pounding his 400th minor league homerun. Even now, he's slugging .552 for Toledo in the International League.

Nice work, and a great lede. You could have made this a quiz. Who would have guessed Marrero? That guy was funny. The Mets traded him for Matsui, because I guess Minaya felt he had to get something for him. He was talented, but had health problems, and everything about his Mets tenure was like, "I guess I'll play out the year --- you're paying me and all --- but I'm just kinda not feelin' it anymore."

You just bravely jumped right back in there. I salute you. Keith has loved Cain since he first saw him.
-
Wait... have the Mets been going around and telling folks how tired they are? I was getting the Cubs feed.

I meant for me, dear d'Kong.

This is quite the test here.

Wow, he found a spot! Go Wrightage.

Oh, great the overshift against Granderson.
