Benjamin Grimm wrote: Those two words caught my eye too! Re-reading, I just noticed that they spell it "lucious chick." Also, the next-to-last paragraph quotes Dave Marshall as saying "There was no doubt in my mine I'd make the club when I came here." As I wrote, that's some top-shelf journalism.

The thing about looking for a firstbaseman is that everybody is a potential firstbaseman. And everybody who is so defensively talented somewhere else that he would be wasted at first can knock some other catcher, leftfielder, or thirdbaseman over to first.

The term "luscious chick" appearing in a story is a good indicator that you're reading something better than run-of-the-mill journalism.

The underlying statue may bear little resemblance to GTS, but the execution of the uniform elements is rock solid. The angle is a little odd, though. And a little strawberry discoloring seems to have compromised the white paint. [fimg=475]https://i.etsystatic.com/37799822/r/il/c80636/4518353705/il_794xN.4518353705_n6qr.jpg[/fimg]

I had an email conversation with Gaspar, inviting him here for part of our series of interviews that ultimately encompassed perhaps two or three people. He was kind enough but a little standoffish and suspicious, which makes some sense, and wanted to know if "Crane Pool Forum" meant Ed was involved. Negotiations broke down and we went our separate ways, I to my life, him to his. I definitely got that read from him that he felt he had fucked up his career. It's pretty sobering to read a quote from a guy whose meal ticket was being a defensive sub for a team with two strong hitting/bad fielding guys platooning in right that he couldn't judge a fly ball the next spring.

The main lefty out of the pen right now is 2024-breakthrough-ish guy Danny Young. Cabrera is probably the leading candidate to get a second spot, but he has some righties to beat out. They're currently lined up to carry 13 pitchers, but if they go with the maximum 14, he would be the guy. Other lefties who are in a position to get a good look during the spring are Anthony Gose and Daniel-san Juarez. Speaking of lefties who allowed baserunners, the late Ron Locke's one campaign of MLB action seems like a masterpiece of living dangerously, walking 4.8 batters per nine innings while striking out only 3.7 in his 41 1/3-inning stint. Somehow, he not only escaped with his life, but wove a respectable 3.48 ERA in Shea Stadium's inaugural season.

Ron was a predictor of MLB's huge latter-day sponsorship from buildsubmarines.com, having worked on subs for big-time US Navy contractor General Dynamics before being scouted pitching for the company team.

This appears to be less about bad data and more about one bad reference. What is being displayed here is data from a column listing the year in which the players would be eligible for minor-league free agency, should they, you know, find themselves off the big-league roster. For most of these players that is hardly a primary concern, and the next update will correctly list their soonest year of potential eligibility for MLB free agency. MRC apologizes for the mixup and thanks you for your eagle-eyed review.

If that $90 million offer is for reals, It beats the socks off of a one-year $21.05 million qualifying offer.

See this is how to tackle the market. Boras has a job to get two teams bidding his client up, but Stearns works it so he has two sluggers bidding the Mets down.

Also, it's great that despite DiLauro not getting to appear in the series, he got the spotlight moment with Sully. I had seen the clip 100 times but never with the DiLauro bit included. Either that, or I had always clicked out at the end of the song.

Sullivan without Gilbert makes for some crappy Pirates of Penzance.

The way I remember it, Rickey's dream gig was to be a halfback on the Oakland Raiders, but despite a bunch of football scholarship offers, his mom convinced him that baseball players have longer careers.

Andrew L. and I weren't tight back in our school days. He was clever and confident and I less so. He played third base on the AOT team that beat my Halperin Shoes team two games to one in the 1980 championship series of the Rockville Centre Little League Minors Division. We were 14-2 during the regular season that year and should have won the series pretty handily, but our star pitcher and my best frenemy Eric G. was dealing with a scrotum infection and was fading over the last two innings. With one out to go, Andrew hit a two-run triple to tie things up, and a double by Henry F. plated him with the go-ahead run. We went down in order in the bottom of the inning, and that was that. Andrew also successfully defended me from a wife-murder rap in a mock trial in seventh or eight-grade. I knew he had the bug, and he would grow up and be a successful attorney, and indeed he has. During our trial prep, I learned he also had a baseball-card collecting bug. I loved my cards, but there was no way I could go after special rare ones, and try and complete sets like he did. Decades later, Andrew and I are Fezbook friends. We rarely engage, though. I saw him at a thirtieth anniversary reunion, though. I was actually catching up with frenemy Eric, whose scrotum had long since healed, but he was really in the bag when I arrived, and talking out of school. He sees Andrew and says something ridiculously anti-Jewish. I didn't know where it had come from. Both these guys were Jewish, though and I briefly thought, hey, I guess, maybe, this is OK to say among themselves? Maybe they'd kept in touch and regularly talk to each other like this. It wasn't, though, and they hadn't and didn't, and Andrew looked at Eric like he was trying to come up with a reason not to kill him, and then walked away. I resigned myself to the sad reality that frenemy Eric had not improved over the decades, and getting drunk and stirring the pot was probably a pretty regular thing for him, and not that different from the guy I hadn't seen since 1992 or so. I wrote Andrew an apology that night before I went to bed. "Hey, I was with the guy, but I wasn't with him, you know?" That's far more than you need to know about Andrew L. (or Eric), but about a year ago, his brother friended me. I didn't really remember his brother Jon at all, except that Andrew caught the card collecting bug from him. Turns that Jon has become the nuttiest of memorabilia collectors. If you suddenly remember an actor from who is out of circulation like Richard Benjamin, Jon will tell you that Benjamin married Paula Prentiss and they were both in movies about robots that look like people — Westworld and The Stepford Wives, respectively — and they've been together 60 years and he has an original print of their wedding photo signed by both. You can't get Lou Klimchock's autograph to complete your 1966 Mets collection, because Lou never appears in public and his address isn't listed? Jon has you covered, as he tracked Lou down through one of his old marine buddies and has been to his house. Stuff like that. Turns out the prize of his Rickey Henderson collection — and you just know he has a Rickey Henderson collection — is the yearbook from Rickey's 1976 senior year at Oakland Technical High School. (Go, Bulldogs!). And he of course got Rickey's signature. And so we learn that Rickey was a Capricorn.

It's bad data to be sure. We should just kill that row.

Canning doesn't lose his gig. Not yet, anyhow, according to current projections.

Well, let me fixed that. Wrong grid imput.

Jussie was half the haul for Mark Cahna and cash, so this marks the end of any value that the Mets got out of the original Cahna deal from 2021. Marks the end of any value from that cash, too.

As for now, though, there are a whole bunch of relievers ahead of him on the depth chart. As he is a lefty on a team short of them, he could move up fast if he's healthy.

That suggests that the return of Sean Manaea should lead to the dropping of a reliever. The Mets Roster Central has been diligently researching the status of Tyler Zuber and our work suggests he does indeed have a remaining option year, and that makes him far and away the easiest character to remove from the roster, as his alleged lack of options was his only claim to be an opening-day Met. Having an option puts about seven other guys ahead of him. Sorry, Zulander.
