    Winter reading.

    Mets are foiled by the Rockies as Carlos Gonzalez wins the left field Gold Glove and rookie Nolan Arenado wins at third. A quick check suggests they made the right choice (unlike last season) at third, as Arenado's metrics are Ordonezesque, worth three wins or more on defense, while he's barely a blip on offense. But... who is he? Was he in the lineup when they played the Mets?

    Yeah, if you didn't grab that shot, I woulda.

    He's clear that he doesn't consider them set at first. Of course he doesn't. There's nothing particularly revelatory or objectionable here (save for the half-evasive "point of need" thing, which Chuck reasonably qualified). But folks have to file stories.

    If Alderson showed up, it could have gone down as Sandy vs. Sandy.

    Worst thread title ever.

    Gold Glove winners and chicken dinners to be announced tonight at 8:00 PM.

    Too bad the season's over, considering the way dino j. is swinging the bat.

    Hey, I love doves as much as (more than!) the next guy, but let this not eclipse the fact that LaTroy stepped up and stood tall in a dangerous situation.
  10. Edgy MD
    Doves have never been safe around Hawks.
  11. Edgy MD
    Breaking on the Instagram (of all places), but LaTroy Hawkins has apparently achieved minor hero status, according to American Airlines, after he and another dude subdued ("dude subdued"?) an unruly passenger on a flight to Chile.

    Yes, but I spoke explicitly about "online-only" outlets. The dailies still have the high profile of their centuries-old brand, and I'd rather be a columnist for the Daily News than Gotham Baseball (or even a more national site like SB Nation), even if I'm getting most of my readership online either way. ESPN.com, similarly, has the authority of being linked to the unbreachable broadcast anchor-entity. I therefore imagine it's tough for columnists to jump from one local paper to another anymore, as the main value of their name brand is their association with the paper's brand. Would Newsday jump at the chance to grab Bill Price if he became available? If he worked for something like an entry-level wage maybe.

    The Blurb wrote: Bill Denehy was at the top of his game . . . until he threw a pitch that changed the course of his life. A home-run bio about a gifted pitcher whose National League career held promise until a hard slider to Willie Mays injured his shoulder, Rage chronicles Denehy's injury-plagued career in major league baseball and the loss of his vision due to injections used to keep him in the game. Denehy holds nothing back as he shares the rage he felt his whole life, his lost dreams, his descent in addiction, and eventually finding peace when he entered recovery. His experience will resonate with athletes, baseball fans, those who struggle with addiction, and those who know someone who does. Bill "Baseball Bill" Denehy is a former major league baseball player for the New York Mets. He later coached the University of Hartford, was a minor league pitching coach for the Boston Red Sox and a radio announcer. He is now in long-term recovery and belongs to the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association.

    I understand the nausea, but don't worry, I'm here to help. Coming December 13: Coming in April 2014: Carter Content, coming in March: April Fool's Day: Also in April: Re-Releasing in April: Cool, Denehy! Shit, Golenbock! Coming April 15: Coming in May of 2014: Coming in Some Other Month, 2014:

    Not only hard to detach Davidoff from Newday in my mind, but it's surprising to think of sports columnists still jumping papers. If he was going to jump anywhere, I'd figure it'd be to an online-only outlet.
  16. Edgy MD
    Ken Davidoff takes advantage of a trip to St. Loo to catch up with an overall-clad Ron Hunt. Hey, since when is Davidoff with The Post?

    Hatefully selfish and soft Carlos Beltran wins the Roberto Clemente Award.

    I figured. Hard to be sure from two syllabubs, though.

    After the tying run scores, another voice in the booth says "Oh, boy." on a foul liner by Mookie, and you realized that Scully had a partner all that time, who just sat there and let Vin completely over. I imagine there are other interjections that were edited out, but still.

    That strange Simmons peg is the best example of his throwing prowess, in that it demonstrates him taking an infielder's approach into the outfield. A shortstop knows instinctively that it doesn't matter how strong or accurate your throw is if you don't get to the ball and release it in a timely manner, giving the receiver a chance to make adjustments and finish the play or come off the bag to stop a wild throw, as needed. While others might have set themselves and aired the ball out better, the thrown would arrive be two beats later. That ball had double all over it.

    BB-Ref Defensive WAR: Laggy: 3.5 Young: -1.3 (-1.3 all with the Roxx, 0.0 with the Mets) Fangraphs has Lagares 25.4 units (runs?) above average on defense, and Young -6.3 (-6.6 with the Rockies and +0.3 with the Mets). Congratulations to Young. You've got to nominate some guys just to lose, I guess. But I'm guessing he earned at least some of his defensive reputation by stealing a lot of bases.
  22. Edgy MD
    David Wright and Eric Young are nominated as Gold Glove finalists. I don't know that these awards will ever fulfill their mandate with a comfortable degree of accuracy or meaning. Young certainly did an acceptable job in left, but it's hard to think of anybody watching the Mets more than twice and not thinking his positioning left the overall impact of his defense closer to the mean than you'd want to see from a Gold Glove candidate. More importantly, whither Lagares?

    Don Wakamatsu is the new bench coach for the Kansas City Royals. Interesting Factamatsu: Don made nine career starts as a major leaguer, all at catcher, all for the 1991 White Sox, all on days that Charlie Hough was pitching.
