Edgy MD

Murphy's analysis is fine. Could use a few teaspoons of personality.

I approve of the "Pitching is Overrated" philosophy and have long been a member of Team P.I.O. You want to edit the "is" out of your first sentence above, Edgy MD, or shall I read it a dozen more times to see if I can render some sense out of it? I did that just now after not making sense of it myself.

It looks like we have something like an Opening-Day Roster in place!

Although Blackburn seemingly bounces Dedniel Nuñez out of the picture, he is still in camp and on the 40, so there may be a spot for him yet. The return of Billy McKinney may have been an over-reaction to a temporary injury absence by Jesse Winker. Billy's second coming is still very welcome because (1) he gave the Mets the best month of his MLB life, just when they needed it most, (2) has been bad or terrible everywhere else, except a modest mediocrity with the Yankees, (3) he now has three organizations with which he has had two tenures, which means folks like him, and (4) is generally a terror in the minors.

First is that Hayden Senger has beaten out three guys with higher profiles for that backup catcher slot. Kevin Parada shouldn't be much of a surprise, as more reps would certainly seem to be the plan for him, but Chris Williams and Jakson Reetz are both dudes with MLB experience, but he knocked one to the left and one to the right and unless he hurts himself in the next couple of days, he will be going north. Second is that José Ureña, who has had a pretty low-performing camp, has decided to stick around and be the first early-season emergency option for the Mets battered rotation. So don't hold your breath waiting for a Julio Teheran reunion.

I think his data also tells him to not invest big in starting pitching when the seemingly 30-35% annual chance of a long-term injury makes the difference between Max Fried and Frankie Montas increasingly negligible. I think its also more fun to GMs to give themselves the room to be nimble.

He may have been the Mets' biggest offensive grab at the deadline, but ZIPS has given this Mets outfielder the same projected fWAR (1.2) as Jakson Reetz, currently fighting for a chance to be the Mets backup catcher for a few weeks until Francisco Álvarez comes back. That may be in part due to the Mets currently crowded outfield picture, and it may be in part due to his relative lack of production after coming over from Washington. And it may be due to the limit utility a corner outfield player has in general. If he ain't hittin', he better be sittin', and all that. And it may be a combination, of all that. The predictions are a month or two old or more, so it likely isn't about him leaving the game with a leg injury a few days ago, but that may be something you consider. But he had some big moments for a team that needed them, and had a strong post-season, when J.D. Martinez was close to MIA. So it may be a small role he is looking at now, but a long season has a way of opening up opportunities. And a HWHTi25? thread has a way of opening up opinions. What is yours regarding Jesse Winker's coming 2025 season?

I totally did not see Blackburn getting enough innings in spring to break camp with the team, but suddenly he's got five starts and 12 2/3 innings. Maybe this six-man rotation is going to play out after all. I think it is more likely to be some sort of hybrid, to use Senga once a week (or so) for the first month (or so), but maybe they want to keep Holmes on long rest too until they see how he bounces back.

Like many players, Trey McLoughlin has been floated up for games, but has never been listed as an official camp invitee.

An update for today as the staff of Mets Roster Central tries to figure out how and when Luke Ritter's face got put in Starling Marte's spot on our grid.

Andrew Carson, you may remember, was signed only six weeks ago taking one of the most roundabout routes to gaining his first professional contract at 24, having played for three different colleges and universities, the last one as a grad student, and having particpated in five different summer amateur wood bat leagues. Hopefully he pockets some condiments on the way out the door. Eldridge Armstrong III's release is of particular concern to uni watchers who hoped to see a "III" appear for the first time on a Metly back. Having already suffered through the release of St. Lucie reliever Nick Bautista III, their despair is palpable. Outfielder Eli Serrano III, expected to start the year in Brooklyn, is the last, best hope for this group, and the Cyclones are reportedly adding staff to accomodate the expected upswell in ticket demand. The real story of the day is Chris Williams bumped aside in the battle for backup catcher. Jakson Reetz takes the catbird seat, but Hayden Senger is still in the picture. Anthony Gose is unlikely to actually open the season with Binghamton, but he staffers need to add a bunch of guys to the Injured List before we can confirm there is Syracusean room for him. Ten guys hit the 60-Day IL yesterday, along with two more hitting the full-season IL, so there is likely AAA room for Antonio.

Neither of his names may seem spelled quite right, but he's pretty much even money now to be the Mets' Opening Day backup catcher. I'm as surprised as you are, but there's something to be said for being a cornfed Nebraskan who looks like a World War II sergeant played with an unflappable toughness by a young Ed Harris. He's now on at least his fifth organization at 29 and maybe he's just been biding his time, waiting for his moment. He didn't start showing his power until 26, his career got sidelined by the Covid pandemic, but hey, he is the 2022 MVP of the Southern League, and that is the sort of thing nobody can take away from you. He's got a spring training grand slam in his Mets highlight book and he's looking for more. What more will there be? [FIMG=379]https://a4.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=%2Fmedia%2Fmotion%2F2025%2F0309%2Fdm_250309_reetz_grand_slam%2Fdm_250309_reetz_grand_slam.jpg[/FIMG] [FIMG=321]https://athlonsports.com/.image/t_share/MjEzMzY4MTk5MzM5NTgyOTI3/jakson-reetz.jpg[/FIMG] Only two photos for this guy because I've got to go grocery shopping.

Look at the sparse-assed crowd in those first two photos above, which appear to be from his April 4 walkoff hit against the Tigers. Possibly the interview shot as well. That was the first win of the season after Carlos Mendoza Willie'd himself to an 0-5 start. They went into the ninth down 1–0, with all of one tick in the hit column, before Alonso tied it with a leadoff homer, Baty walked, Marte advanced him with a bunt, and Taylor drove him home. Officially, there were 15,020 peoples at the game, and the weather was listed as "47° F, Wind 10mph in from Leftfield, Cloudy, No Precipitation." I'm guessing that, by the ninth, the number of patrons more likely numbered in the hundreds, and the wind chill factor took things down to about 15 degrees. I guess what I'm saying he kinda saved the season right there and few people knew it, and fewer still were there to see it.

The fifth outfielder at the start of the year was pretty much the #1 centerfielder by the end, as well as into the playoffs. It was a less-than-ideal situation. He will never be mistaken for Carlos Beltran, but if you squint enough, he might make you think of Angel Pagán, and that ain't nothing. After a strong start to the season, he was never really great, but he played hard and was consistently mediocre with a diversified enough skill set that he hung around in the rotation while other guys fell away. It's a delicate balance, and delicate balances are hard to maintain. With the crowded outfield picture, a bad start could have him DFA'd in May. But José Siri replacing Harrison Bader at the top of the centerfield heap, and Brandon Nimmo still tender in the feets, Tyrone could reclaim the starting job in just as short a time. That is a wide range of outcomes. Only you can pin it down.

Will Paulson, Paul Billsipher, and Izz Jasonringhausen, together, make up Keneration G.

I really can make it up. It is very, very easy. The last thing this administration is is creative. I will be kneeling through the National Anthem at any game I attend this year, and I hope you join me. It probably will go beyond this year.

"Woke cultural Marxism" is a newly coined construction to me. And an utterly meaningless one, of course. I guess we will see how much MLB is willing to kowtow on April 15.

Former Pirates/Diamondbacks/Twins infielder Diego Castillo was signed by the Mets to a minor-league deal a few days ago. In a total Bobby Jones move, Diego was one of two Diego Castillos to play for the Twins last year. This one is Diego A. Castillo, not the other one. This one looked like this: https://www.baseball-reference.com/req/202412180/images/headshots/0/005712ba_mlbam.jpg> He probably still kind of looks like that. Both Diegos have wide heads, but the other one pitches.

Every season, the Mets get enough starting pitchers to knock him back to seventh or eighth on the depth charts, and sometimes injuries conspire to open a door for him. Sometimes he performs well in these opportunities, and sometimes he doesn't. Either way, the chapter tends to end with the Mets pushing him back through that same door. But opportunity has a arisen again, and the hero of Opening Day 2022, and the starting pitcher in the Mets' second-ever no-hitter (didn't remember that, did you?), is still hanging around. Somehow, he still has an option, but the chances are running thin. Will he have the punch to climb over the Griffin Cannings and Frankie Montas the Mets have indifferent set up in front of him? To climb over them and stay? Surely you know the answer. Because there are a wave of people trying to climb over him as well.

Boxcar Resinbag. Am I doing this right?

Wyatt has played 77 games for Syracuse over the last three seasons. No doubt they have all been on the road. His full name is Wyatt Hee-Wah Asami Young. And he's an alum of Honlulu's famed Mid-Pacific Institute, the same school that produced Isiah Kiner-Falefa. You should invite him over for a hang.

He has certainly hit for average. Last season in the Eastern League, he hit .288 when the whole circuit (including him pulling up the numbers) hit .237. He only played 16 games in the International League, but hit .283 against a .255 league-wide average. He may not be the goods — he probably isn't — but he hasn't been getting by on charm alone either. And he'll almost certainly get a crack at the bigs with somebody.

Sometimes, guys with no prospect label just frustrate the hell out of scouts and keep advancing. Often they are infielders, without the apparent speed for the middle of the diamond or notable power for the corners that might allow them to keep climbing unless they perform unslumpingly at every level, and damned if they don't keep performing unslumpingly. The Justin Turner model of ascension. But, you know, it's been a mediocre-to-good year-by-year climb for Wyatt. No really terrific seasons, and as mentioned, no flops. And while he has himself on the cusp of MLB duty, projected by ZIPS to produce the same fWAR as Luisangel Acuña, and more than Tylor Megill, among other higher profile players, one still might get the idea that he is one flop away from the end of the road. He has heard that before, though. But with his Wally Backman build and lefthanded opposite field stroke, he is too busy getting his uniform dirty to pay attention. He is more interested in your opinion than my own, I think. Jett Williams isn't the only five-sixer on the rise in the Mets system.

Do you remember who that was according to? Here is MLB's top 100 going into 2015, and it includes a lot of Mets prospects — Syndergaard (#10), Kevin Plawecki (#63), Steven Matz (#66), Brandon Nimmo (#72), and Michael Conforto (#82) — but no Dilly.

I don't see feel you are getting your vibes from. Nor do I recall when Dilson Herrera was ever a particularly big piece. He had a moment, and God bless him for it, but he was acquired by the Mets as they were dumping off an outfielder that a team hoped had a few drops of juice left him, and sold off when the Mets were grabbing an outfielder that they hoped had a few drops of juice in him.

The longest. But he did get an MLB contract, and it was with the favorite team of the Paducah, Kentucky native. Phil was the last option out of the bullpen for the Mets for much of the offseason, improving as the playoffs progressed, logging a 27.00 ERA in one inning in the Wild Car Series against Milwaukee, a 5.40 ERA in one and two thirds innings in the NLDS against the Phils, and a 4.91 ERA in three and two thirds innings in the Championship Series against the Dodgers. The pattern suggests that, had the Mets advanced to the World Series, he might have advanced himself into the realm of effective, but he actually has a long-established record of post-season success across his career, adding up to a 2.57 ERA in 28 innings under the October glare, even counting his ineffectiveness as a Met. That may not be particularly likely to help the Cards this year, though.

While Jared Young has a touch more established versatility than Brett Baty, he has already been banished to minor-league camp, so unless the Mets find a way to get Yonny Hernandez or Donovan Walton onto their big-league roster, they are going to have to go forward with Luisangel Acuña and Brett Baty sharing second base, while Baty does defensive subbing for Mark Vientos and Acoonie provides Francisco Lindor insurance. This is workable, and can even get some important at-bats to players who could be well served by them, but it is perhaps sub-ideal, depth wise. Coming up later ... three heartbreaking releases!

Is that sarcasm I detect?

I don't know that I have enough information to conclude (1), or that perhaps any of us do. The main thing, I think, that gives Mendoza and other managers the courage to go forward with five infielders is that, if a late-inning injury forces them to go with an outfielder or catcher grossly out of position and faking it, almost all games are over after 10 innings now, so you only have to fake it for three outs or so.
