  1. On second thought, adding Valdespin certainly won't improve the defense of this team too much. Maybe adding Lutz might.
  2. Times like that, you miss the color of Shea's seats.
  3. Collins: Holding off on DL decision, probably until Friday. If Wright's to be disabled, will probably move Murphy to 3b. The latter could mean Valdespin is called up, but not necessarily.
  4. So, we got a pinkie fracture. That's no fun and it could be an issue all season. I guess they should DL him, but they'll probably wait a few days and then do it. With five-man benches, that's no good. I suppose they could call up an infielder and send down Gee or Parnell for a week. Give Batista the next start and do another transaction if they feel a pinch in the bullpen. The Uni-Watch blog has been popping up with folks who wear a hand-protector while on the bases. Maybe they'll be universal someday soon. Here's Posednik's makeshift thingie from 2010: Here's Rafael Furcal in a more formal thing last week. Looks goofy, but I suppose they should be perfectly legal as long as they don't artificially extend the hand too much.

  7. Can we submit Cede�o votes with and without the tilde?
  8. I pass the IGT baton at 4-1. I was hoping to make it to tomorrow. With one of the main things working against the Mets being a division full of aces and near-aces (kings?), tomorrow we face our first one.
  9. And hey, Mets are on the board.

One of the cool things about Murphy at second is that it sneaks a better bat in at a position where lesser bats typically play. I accept that may be fool's gold, but it's no more-so or less-so today then yesterday, and it's no more-so or less-so with Wright at third or Lutz.

  12. Dillon Gee, showing us how a bunt is fielded.

  14. That was me, baby. I like his versatility and I think he's got big league aplomb, unintimidated by anybody. My thinking is that Turner becomes the thirdbaseman and Valdespin becomes the infield reserve with outfield utility too. But the argument that they need righthanded batsmanship is indeed compelling. Still, I don't see it as a particularly Ceetarish vote
  15. David Wright's injured pink should give anybody pause. Maybe it's nothing. Maybe it's the end of the world. (It's probably not the end of the world, but maybe.) Last year, when Wright and Davis got injured in the same day, they moved Turner from second to third, and Murphy from second to first, and called up Ruben Tejada to play second. It was amazing to see, as they essentially replaced one of their two best hitters with a guy with a career .588 OPS to that point, and the other with the weak-side inverse of the Murphy/Turner platoon --- and survived on that diet for a while, if not prosperously so. So I don't know if they'll do it again (and again, it's if Wright is down), but Murphy looks more or less like the fulltime secondbaseman this year, which makes Turner more free to move, so maybe he gets the hot corner, or maybe a callup, but who are you calling up to join the Mets?

  17. Correct dimension, too.
  18. Initial reports said x-rays were negative on Wright's digit, but he said in his little media klatch that he's awaiting an x-ray technician and he still fears it's broke. Always gives a man pause when an athlete "vows to be back tomorrow."
  19. Terry appears to be over-committing to not moving starters out of position.

  21. David Wright a late scratch with a bruised Wright pinky. Seriously!
  22. Truly, I'm sucking today. Head not in the game. Time to swap in a reserve.
  23. It strikes me that we're within striking distance, and Wright could crack this record on any given night. Mets Career RBI 1) Darryl Strawberry: 733 2) David Wright: 729 3) Mike Piazza: 655 4) Howard Johnson: 629 5) Ed Kranepool: 614 6) Carlos Beltran: 559 7) Edgardo Alfonzo: 538 8) Cleon Jones: 521 9) Keith Hernandez: 468 10) Kevin McReynolds: 456
