The Mets put in defensive substitutions for Vientos plenty of times last year.

While it isn't a memory, per se, I'm not sure I see a reason why Maton would be a better bullpen piece than Stanek, or why Stanek would be better than Maton. Like Casey Daigle before him, Phil is a reliever who found a wife in the amateur softball ranks. He also has a brother Nick who is a utility infielder currently with the White Sox. That isn't bad for a family from Paducah, although the Matons had lit out for Chatham, IL, by the time Nick came along.

We slept through it, but back on Thursday, the Cardinals swooped in and signed Phil Maton to a major-league contract. It was, of course, the least swoopy swoop in the history of swooping, as the Cards had, amazingly, gone the whole offseason without signing a free agent to a major-league contract, until finally concluding on March 13 that Phil was their missing piece. As Gabe Kaplan said about his Aunt Rose, Phil was really great, but he was eighty-eight.

The final score of the prospect game was Junior Mets 5, Wannabe Nats 1. Game was stopped after seven and a half innings. Shortstop Seaver King led off and got two hits for the Mets. I usually ain't about trades, but I propose the Mets send Boston Baro to the Red Sox and get Seaver King from the Nats. Boston can complete the three-way trade by sending the Nats a prospect named Washington, or DC or James Madison or something.

Well, that is news to Mets Roster Central, but as (a) he hadn't yet appeared, and ( Carlos Mendoza had treated Jeff McNeil's injury as a pretty dramatic turn for the team, we were about to remove him from the projected roster anyhow.

Nick Morabito, cf (2 for 3, SB, 2 RBI) Carson Benge, rf (1 for 2, BB, 2B) Jett Williams, ss (0 for 2, BB, SB, RS) Ryan Clifford, 1b (1 for 3, HR, RS, 2 RBI) Jacob Reimer, dh (0 for 3, 2 SO, shame Eli Serrano III, lf (0 for 3, SO, less shame) Kevin Parada, c (2 for 3, RS) Boston Baro, 3b (2 for 2, 2 RS, RBI) Jeremy Rodriguez, 2b, (0 for 1) Now at 5-0. Mets pitchers are mocking Nats hitters by lobbing balls underhand.

Mets prospectos with a 3-0 lead on the Nats prospectos. 2024 Draftee Boston Baro with two hits including a homerun.

I snost and lost.

Stockard Channing and Carol Channing aren't the same person. That's the kind of exchange that traditionally drew replies of: RMPL With dozens of republications of that Big Al essay, it is amazing to think any Crane Pooler would need to be told who Stockard Channing is.

Well, I typed Mike Marshall a few hours ago but did not hit Submit.

Jesse Orosco.

The story should less be about the man overcoming the adversity, but rather about the billionaires who author that adversity. But, yeah, go Hayden!

True, but (looking at his stats) only 45 at-bats all season long, and nearly every time he got on base, you needed to pinch run for him. 2 runs scored in 1985, and one of them was on his only HR. Pinch-running for him was no big whoop. Sending an off-day starting pitcher in to run for a player/coach with .400 on-base percentage was a wonderful problem to have.* Bench players tend to have their limitations. It doesn't discount their assets. * It was a win-win. Some of us got to give Rusty one more round of applause as he came back into the dugout, and the rest of us got an eyeful of Ron Darling when it wasn't even his day to pitch.

Edgy MD wrote: What is interesting is how consistently poorly second tenures tended to go for people not named Staub. And Rusty's second time was not really so impressive. He was beloved, and he was a great pinch-hitter, but he was a sliver of his former self (except in actual girth) on the ballfield. By the end, I kind of thought of him as a wasted roster space, a sentimental gesture towards team chemistry, and memories of him in his prime, and just plain affection for an excellent human being and restaurateur but I would have preferred a player who could, you know, field a little, and run the bases, slug a HR now and then, all that good stuff. Strange. He had .400 on-base percentage his last season, with a 126 OPS+. We were lucky to have him.

Greg McMichael is a rare Met who left the team and returned within the same season. There is at least one other such animal — a back-end reliever who cycled through several teams in one season, continuing to get DFA'd and claimed on waivers. I'm thinking around 2008?

What is interesting is how consistently poorly second tenures tended to go for people not named Staub. Or, I guess, worse is the Jason Vargas pattern, where a guy is a Met who isn't really yet able to perform in the big leagues, moves on and becomes a successful big-leaguer to some degree, and returns to the Mets when he is no longer really able to perform in the big leagues. I guess Carlos Gomez is another guy where his Mets tenures were two thin, stale, crusty pieces of bread holding together an otherwise robust sandwich.

Eneas Alexander is a Bahamian prospect who has spent most of his teenage years in developmental academies in the US, ultimately showcasing his skills back in his native Bahamas at a tryout event organized by Antoan Richardson. Eneas follows Bohan Adderley (please let his nickname be "Cannonball") as the second Bahamian infielder the Mets have signed in as many years. So if you are wondering what qualities to look for in a first-base coach, maybe consider finding a guy who adds value having an inside track on a distinct scouting territory. Trace Willhoite is seven years older, signing his first pro contract at 24, having played three full seasons at Kentucky's Lipscomb University, which a quick survey reveals none of the Mets Roster Central staffers believe they have heard of. It's a Division I school in the Atlantic Sun Conference, so they are a real thing and everything, so the shame is on us. He didn't debut with Lipscomb until he was 21, however, presumably having missed the COVID season and perhaps a second to injury, ultimately playing his final season as a graduate. Along the way, he played in five different summer wood-bat leagues (a record, we are presuming), and really hit and hit with power most everywhere he has gone. The final league he played in was the MLB Draft League, but what good is such a circuit when a guy can put up a .986 OPS at third base and still not get drafted?

While we've been treating Ronny Mauricio as the leading candidate for the fifth (and only reserve) infield spot, that has always been far from a certainty, as it is unclear whether the Mets think of Mauricio as recovered enough for the day-to-day grind of MLB action, under an MLB spotlight. In that sense, the McNeil injury has possibly made it less likely that Mauricio joins the OD squad, and the fact that he has yet to see any game action really puts the status we have been projecting in doubt. But there are three guys on the roster pushing on him, and the first two — Brett Baty and Jared Young don't really play the middle of the diamond, so there is some real helium underneath Luisangel Acuña right now. Young is in minor-league camp already, but Baty started at second today, going 1-for-3 with a double, so we may well see him displace Mauricio in our next update. Non-roster players Luis De Los Santos and Donovan Walton are also still camping with the team, and so remain in the picture, but who would be shocked to see José Iglesias arrive from San Diego's Cactus League training site in Peoria, perhaps in exchange for one of the Mets excess outfielders? Nobody at Mets Roster Central would be. That much is for certain.

I would assume Canning and Megill, but I guess that Senga not being ready for Opening Day doesn't necessarily rule him out of the entire series?

He was the big get in the Max Scherzer trade. Or maybe he was just the get. He had a big name, but maybe that was just because it was his brother's name. His steal numbers were high, but his walk rate started crashing since he arrived in the Mets system. He was versatile defensively, but maybe he was just another prospect. He could hit, or maybe he could totally miss. Maybe he was just another flash in the pan with speed. And then he got called up. At the very worst time, with the Mets hanging on to a playoff spot by their fingernails, he was put in the thankless position of having to replace Franciso Lindor in the stretch run of an MVP-quality year, and ... he prospered. It was only 40 plate appearances, but he went .308 / .325 / .641 // .966 when the team and you and I needed it most. He didn't even have to prove himself by stealing bases because six of his 12 hits went for extra bases. He was almost always right where you needed him to be. Just a dream start to an MLB career. But 40 plate appearances are but ... 40 plate appearances. Small samples mean less than bigger ones. But similarly, MLB stats mean more than International League stats. So what is real and what is illusory? And will the injury to Jeff McNeil open up a second door through which this young man will again step mightily? It is the drama that is about to unfold before us. Spoil it all for me, if you will, and tell me how it ends.

You just know that Yogi, if he bowled at all, was maddeningly great at it.

Second base Baty is an interesting wrinkle.

On the other hand, "Miller-Huggins Field" was actually "Miller Huggins Field" with no hyphen, as Miller Huggins, unlike Huggins-Stengel, was actually just one guy.

When they and the Cards shared a complex, what was the percentage of the spring schedule that the two teams spent playing one another? 35%? 40%? Probably not so high, but it sure seemed like it. It probably also triggered a disproportionate number of deals between the two teams, and probably meant their coaching staves hung out and golfed together.

I dinna understand the "pressure to sell." Either they are meeting their obligations or they are not.

Yes it is NPB legend Warren Cromartie.
