Chris Williams, as noted above, is immediately behind Torrens in the depth chart. He is guaranteed to make you forget Mike Nickeas, but Jakson Reetz and Kevin Parada and Hayden Senger are all in the mix as well, despite Parada being sent to minor-league camp already.

Met win 7-6 on a Travis Swaggerty triple and a run scoring sacrifice fly. Connor Overton came on for the save. Couldn't have mattered more.

All tied up. Hard grounders getting through all inning.

Mets fourth-stringers not holding up their end as the Nats cut the lead to [CROSSOUT]6-3[/CROSSOUT] 6-4.

Chris Suero just came very close to breaking something as he steps over a bat running down a bases-loaded foul-out to end the sixth.

José Siri: Well, I may not be the strongest offensive player, but the offense is deep enough that I'm probably going to bat ninth. Francisco Álvarez: Hold my beer. José Siri: What? Francisco Álvarez: Seriously, hold my beer. I just broke my hamate.

For a good part of 2024, it was looking like a breakthrough season for former first-round pick David Peterson. But quality starting is an elusive thing, and breakthoughs are too often followed by crashes to earth. Is that the fate of our handsome lefthander? Are there conclusions to draw about his post-season, in which he did fine out of the pen but got kicked around in his one start against the Dodgers, despite being given a big early lead. DP's season started late last year after offseason hip surgery, but he should be coming in healthy this year. Should is never a word you can bank on with pitchers, and 1.7 WAR prediction from wherever I got these predictions seems to be doing very little banking at all. It is your opinion, though, that really holds sway.

It certainly curious that we are spilling so much digital ink over what might be the status several years down the road (by any measure) of this guy as if he is the consensus top prospect in baseball. What we should write about is that sweet way he wears his socks high ... in the here and now. Now more than ever, tomorrow isn't guaranteed.

Yes a player can and does accrue service time from partial seasons which can and do combine with each other. A guy who gets 60 days each of his first three years and then plays five full seasons has six seasons of service time under his belt, and is eligible to become a free agent if his contract has expired.

Sweet and sneaky move, Mets.

Not everybody can have a marquee name like "Blade Tidwell." My guess, though, is that the rotation just tended to break with him catching a lot of cold spring Tuesday evenings and hot summer Thursday afternoons.

No, he is not doomed.

acclimations. Some of the suprises, however, include: ... Kevin Parada, who has lost virtually of his first-round luster, and is now sent off while a several other catchers of obscure provenance remain. ... Rafael Ortega, who had little chance of elbowing his way into a crowded outfield picture, but might have expected to last deeper into camp based on his age and bountiful MLB experience. ... Sean Reid-Foley, who pitched effectively at the MLB level and showed some new velocity before getting hurt last season. I am guessing that they don't see him as likely ready for opening day, but neither see him as stashable on the 60 after appearing already in the spring, so they want to sneak him through waivers while rosters are squeezed tight. His apparent waivering is according to reports, but remains unofficial, as waivers don't get publicly announced unless/until somebody either clears them or is claimed. Huascar Brazobán had started the offseason, like, third on the Mets' bullpen depth charts, but then spent the winter getting bounced lower and lower as the Mets added veteran pieces without options, so a sudden roster opening has to be a breath of fresh air after being on the outside looking in since about the new year. He not only has Reid-Foley's waivering to thank, but also the injuries to Sean Manaea and Frankie Montas.

Well, he could always bump MV to DH.

Handed the Opening Day third base job in 2024, BB had a moment or two, but fizzled through the first 50 games. Meanwhile, given a chance to operate under the radar, his frenemy Mark Vientos came on strong, overtook him, and never stopped coming. Maybe — and this is merely a maybe proposition — this dynamic can work the opposite way as well. Now that the heat is on Vientos, Baty finds room to grow. It's a complicated business, turning young men into baseball heroes, and there is no one formula. Room for two thirdbasemen has always been hard to find, but with DH slots and a little versatility on defense, it can be done. The 1986 Mets had three third-baseman for the whole year. The 1969ers had at least two, and sometimes three as well. It is a new year with a new number on his back. Brett and his little auburn ducktail may end up establishing themselves yet, or they may turn into an occasionally useful journeyman package, or they may play themselves into obscurity. But they are not done yet. Are they?

I wish the A's and Rays were in different leagues, so I could root for an all-minor-league-ballpark World Series.

I'm not saying the projection guys are pessimistic on Kodai Senga, but the guy at the top of the pitching staff coming out of 2023, after missing most of 2024, is projected for the same amount of fWAR as José Siri. Yeah, that's a mean of 1000 or whatever simulations, and presumably that mean is dragged down by the 300 or however many simulations in which he gets hurt early and misses all or most of the season. But (a) he hasn't gotten hurt yet, and ( his injuries last year weren't of the kind that required reconstructive surgery or anything, so if you have a more optimistic prediction than that, I am all ears.

It just makes no sense that a guy folks are sending mail to, asking for autographs, is also a guy whose death is so overlooked — sometimes by those same persons.

Well, it may be more about him getting to ballz that Marte and Winker don't get to. Maybe Soto, too.

The Mets reportedly did offer him an MLB deal for a year but they weren't particularly close on terms and they pivoted to Madrigal.

San Diego is still kind of the team made up of all shortstops.

If he joined the team for another year/year and a half or so, he might have been the all-time 11. [media=youtube]MGNyozXDzPs[/media]

That would be unfortunate, especially on the verge of his tenure ending.

Footloose Observation #11: While the [MetsBlue]| I - - IV | I - - - |[/MetsBlue] chord riff of the title track has likely been around forever, the song seems substantially ripped off from "Funk 49" by The James Gang. Kenny Loggins went to #1 for three weeks, but when one rips off Joe Walsh, one does so at one's own peril.
