Adding Phil Maton to my PotG scoresheet for this one forced me to delete Michael Peréz.

All good answers. And nobody even went for Anthony Young. This question was raised by a data set I found on my laptop that I left off right in the middle of crunching. It looks like i was trying to look at the ratio of innings pitched to an average of fWAR, bWAR, and WPA, but I left off in the middle, and so only had fWAR plugged in there for everybody. The answer, of course, depends on how you define "long period." And a lot of the data takes us back to Casey Stengel's Mets, when guys took their turn, stayed healthy, gave up a lot of runs, but didn't have anybody to replace them. [MetsBlue]300[/MetsBlue] If hanging in there for 300 innings is an accomplishment, then the grindingest grinder of a Mets starting pitcher has to be magazine cover model Jay Hook, who took his turn long enough to compile 376 innings, while being credited with a humble 1.1 fWAR. [MetsBlue]400[/MetsBlue] If you demand that such an animal prove himself for at least 400 innings, then please let me turn your attention to two-sport star Galen Cisco. Galen pounded out 479 innings for the Mets, bringing home only 1.5 fWAR. Galen had more success as a pitching coach and namesake of one of the characters in Planet of the Apes. [MetsBlue]500, 600[/MetsBlue] But I hear you saying, "Four hunnert innings? Is that really taking the punishment for that long?" Maybe it's not. That's why you're wondering who threw as many as 500 innings while taking it on the chin. Well that would be none other than 1976 Rookie of the Year Pat Zachry! Pat, costar of the cult classick film Midnight Massacre, threw 698 1/3 Metly innings, while raking up only 4.4 fWAR, a ratio that brings some sweet relief to Oliver Perez, who felt certain he'd enter into the conversation somewhere around here. And there he is! Do I hear 600 innings? Well there's no point in that, because the data above tells you that's still the recently departed Pat Zachry! Pat once appeared on Kiner's Korner, and for his trouble was given some Getty gas gift certificates, redeemable at Getty filling stations in the tri-state area. So he stopped to fill up on his way home, and the station wouldn't take them. Sorry, Pat! [MetsBlue]700, 800, 900[/MetsBlue] But then there's the 700-inning plateau. Can you imagine throwing over 700 innings, not quite helping your team win, but never being quite so hopeless that they put the next guy in there? What sort of Purgatory is that?! It's the Purgatory of Jack Fisher. Fat Jack ground out 30 or more starts for four straight years, piling up a whopping 931 2/3 innings, while banking only 7.4 fWAR. He carried the ball through all that muck and mire only to get dealt off just as Gil Hodges was arriving to turn things around and bring the Mets to a championship. There's taking one for the team, and then there's taking one for the team, and Jack took several hundred for the team, so much so that he's the answer at 700 innings, he's the answer at 800 innings, and he's the answer at 900 innings! When Gary Gentry and Jim McAndrew get together with Jack, after he kisses their championship rings, they have to thank him for keeping their names out of this conversation entirely. Jack OWNS the futility on a Mets mound over 700-1,000 innings category all by hisself!! [MetsBlue]1,000[/MetsBlue] Which leads us to 1,000 innings. And let's face it, if you lasted 1,000 innings as a Met, you must've been pretty good, and pretty healthy, even if you were the worst of that noble category. And you can hear all about it some night on a random Mets broadcast from TV analyst Ron Darling!! Ron threw 1,589 2/3 innings as a Met, garnering 15.8 fWAR. That's nothing to be ashamed of, but it's a higher ratio than your Bobby Joneses and your Jonathan Nieses. Thank you for playing everybody's favorite game show, Unproductive Staying Power! — aka Long-Term Futility!. I'm Johnny Olson, and for Bert Convey and all of us at Goodson-Todman Productions here at Television City Studios, we'll see you tomorrow!!

Alter Bridge, baby. https://not.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/01/Piazza-Head-Bang.gif>

Your Ed Lynch might actually be Ed Lynch, but probably isn't. Nonetheless, Ed's as good a stand-in for the rest of his colleagues as any. The question is — who is the Met pitcher who you think of as holding down a spot in the rotation for a long period, without being particularly productive, but nonetheless better-than-the-next-guy enough to persist in his role over and over again?

It doesn't not count, but one of our regulars here is a grad.

I like Nick. Upped his game every season in college, and got invited to play in a better summer league each year. Who is the forum's resident Binghamton Bear?

He's started 25 games in the majors.

Well, not the strongest version of the anthem. The young lady is sadly https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crgl2gw5868ochecking into rehab after acknowledging she was drunk during the performance.

Got in the game and made a modestly deft put out at first. Struck out in the ninth against a powered-up Emmanuel Clase.

The activation of David Peterson from the paternity list bounces the Mets roster up to 27, so somebody will have to be removed by Friday evening's game in Miami. While usual suspects like Danny Young and Eric Orze must be fearing The Reaper, we imagine somebody is taking a long hard look at Adrian Houser as well.

Hard to watch Teoscar Hernandez strike out with a runner on, and not want to retroactively throw some Nimmo in there.

That's a strong observation. The Northeast is pretty much living in GENERATION NICKY right now. Michael and Matthew are perennials but look at Nick elbow his way in!

Eighteenth-round selection Jace Hampson appears to be related somehow to Justin, though it isn't yet clear how. No word yet on whether 17th-rounder Jacoby Long is linked to Terrence, or if 15th-rounder Owen Woodward shares a close DNA match with Chris.

It would be a sin to cover that mane with anything but golden sunshine.

I think a broad range of skills competitions would be great, and I imagine they know it would be great, but can't bear the risk of guys hurting themselves in the Dash Around the Bases or the Outfield Arm Competition.

Welly, I should have known I'd see Elly on the telly.

I don't know. ESPN has had a lot of low points over the years. Like, scraping bottom.

Still haven't seen an announcement on a Mookie Betts replacement. Luis Arraez is also sitting out with a thumb injury.

He's wearing a du-rag under his had that makes it look like he's got silver hair. That combines with what's got to be the palest complexion ever for an outdoor athlete who plies his trade in Mississippi. Maybe he's albino? He's probably about 70 pounds less than Phil Niekro, but otherwise, yeah.

Please send telegrams of congratulations to Nate Dohm and Eli Serrano, righthanded pitcher and lefty swinging outfielder, respectively. Nate, a fourth-year junior out of Mississippi State, stacked high at 6'4" / 210, comes to the Mets in the third round. He missed time due to injuries which allowed Jurrangelo Cijntje (and how delightful it is to work his name into another post) to pass him on the depth chart, but he was an ace and a half this year when he could get on the mound, going 4-0 with a 1.23 ERA, striking out 37 and walking but four in 29 1/3 innings.

He's a fourth-year NC State sophomore, so you can see a pattern already of the Mets selecting some older dudes. While he's even taller than Dohm, coming in at 6'5" / 201, that hasn't yet translated into a ton of power. But he brings an evil mustache to the table which had to bump him up on a lot of teams' cards. Supposedly a terrific defender in center.

I got the idea that Martinez wasn't expecting to be called on at the end, and they had to go into the clubhouse and chase him out, or he didn't had to get his spikes on or something.
