As it stands now, the only Spring Training drama will be whether Vientos or Baty (or someone else) gets the last roster spot. Also, the Mets, who had the smallest roster in baseball as November turned to December, have now fillled up (unless our counting is off) all but one of their slots on the 40.

It strikes me that selecting the full option of 10 guys and none of them being Joey Mauer is unusual.

Canha's back is beating Canha's front handily.

=DocTee post_id=144211 time=1704390654 user_id=85] He's a local, at least. Horace Mann Prep if I'm not mistaken.

I don't think it's about what Steve Cohen can afford. If opening the season with Stewart and Taylor DHing is the route they take, it likely isn't about what Cohen can afford; but more about who's available and what the roster limit and what their strategic process of roster-building can afford.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: But as Marshmallow said above, they need to add a big bat, a DH who can give us 30 homers or so. I'm not sure that's happening. I think we might have to bend our heads around DJ Stewart and Tyrone Taylor opening the season at DH. I think the main focus right now is a starting pitcher. It looks like their approach on offense (and defense) has been to shore up rather than remodel.

Won a Gold Glove in 2021, prompting the Yankees to trade for him in their ongoing comical quest to move Aaron Judge out of center. His subsequent failures for them have been a gift to mankind. I associate him as the embodiment of the modern ballplayer — simply elegant in his perfect conditioning, walking away from the plate utterly flummoxed about how this "hitting" activity is supposed to be undertaken. [FIMG=600]https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/licensed-image?q=tbn:ANd9GcQpxSGS8b77QoX-coL28ZlTkpEZAz-dfV_skR295ZWIgU3eqCKEWiR45FQlnOcVeaAqEE596U1NZM-K-kA[/FIMG]

Flying Francisco has a damn good chance to take home the whole banana. That photo pretty much captures where our hope must lie in 2024. That's the guy he was for a decent chunk of the season last year — a quarter to a third. if he can be that guy for half of the season or more, he's a deadly force.

Blue and black is always going to be a hard combination. I'm not sure why they haven't gone full New York Giants with an orange insignia on an all black hat, with no outlines or shadows, unless there's some ownership by or agreement with the modern day Giants that doesn't allow for that.

I may be off base, but I think Omar Minaya's first flip was landing Felix Heredia in a challenge trade for Mike Stanton.

This is exactly as slow a news day as it seems, so no, no transactions have occurred, but here's one we missed from earlier in the year when a short-time Syracuse reliever was signed off to the American Association. Transactions, 7/28/2023 [th]Direction[/th][td90]GOING[/td90][th]Transaction [/th][td90]Signed away by Kansas City (American Association)[/td90][th]Position Group [/th][th]=#FF8000]Relief Pitcher[/th][th][/th][td90][fimg=90]https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-photos/image/upload/c_fill,g_auto/w_180/v1/people/657745/headshot/milb/current[/fimg][/td90][th]Name [/th][td90]Bubby Rossman [fimg=50]https://thecranepool.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/US-flag.png[/fimg][/td90][th]DoB[/th][td90]4/12/96[/td90][th]B/T[/th][td90]R/R[/td90][th]High Level[/th][td90]MLB (2022)[/td90] Bubby "Made a Babka" Rossman has bounced all around, including netting all of one day of MLB service time thus far in his 31-year life. He's even played for Team Israel in the WBC, which I guess means he's cool with his nickname seeming to mean "Grandma."

David Altchek got the call. I've come to associate Altchek with shoulder surgeries. He did Edwin Diaz' knee, also, but hey, Edwin still hasn't re-appeared.

I generally vote against spring training-based covers because it's often a mismatch when an off-brand spring training uni top goes head-to-head against the real deal. Here they have a jersey that's part of the regular-season rotation despite its springtime provenance, but they had to go and give Senga a silly-string insignia on his cap.

The bullpen depth is one of the things the Mets have been aggressive about this offseason. The personnel haven't typically been brand names, but many of them are on major-league contracts, so I'm not sure the Mets will be continuing to feed that engine going forward. But there's the other hand — that there isn't an obvious backup plan if Diaz doesn't re-emerge in star form, so maybe they're still looking.

Picture Jacob deGrom, except with a devastating hook, finishing his own games.

Some dark horse juice ought to go to Ryan Clifford, Mike Vasil, and Christian Scott. Clifford mostly had a rough time after coming over from Houston, but they were reportedly reluctant to let him go and he'd prospered wherever he'd been before that despite being well younger than the league. I'm watching him close.

I went for the first one, but I don't think we need the quotey-quotes around "GHOST."

Andruw Jones in the Post-Season: .273 / .363 / .433 // .796 in 279 plate appearances. That's nothing to sneeze at. Carlos Beltrán in the Post-Season: .307 / .412 / .609 // 1.021 in 256 plate appearances. How does this stunning performance get buried in Carlos' story? Yeah, we have a lot more in post-season opportunities these days, and even though some of it is against lesser competition, the greater volume should be expected to normalize high slash numbers. But Beltrán put up post-season numbers that Reggie Jackson wishes he had. He also went 11-for-11 in stolen-base attempts.

And 4 is Kelvin Torve. I wish I wish this wasn't so much a litany of players saying that they stink. The very nature of recalling more obscure personages is that they are players who didn't stick.

I like to think of Local Hero of the godfather of all these types of movies, but some may see precedents much earlier, in films such as Sullivan's Travels. What's clear is that Britain and Ireland (and Scotland and Canada, etc.) generally do this sort of film much better than the US does, as an American leading man leaving it all behind to join a community of neighborly people trying to live decent lives always rings false from the get-go. This film nonetheless feels over-formulaic, with too much of the cinematic story — like Moneyball, but moreso — superimposed onto a non-fiction book sold in the business section. The protagonist of the source memoir — the titular Dave — is even shoved aside in favor of building the story around Dave's young solicitor, who may or may not be entirely fictitious. It's got enough good will for its audience, certainly, that you likely won't turn it off, and that's not nothing. The appearance by (insert big-shot dinosaur butt-rock act here) feels a little like they went to turn the film into the studio, but were told that they needed a marketing hook, and so they were sent back out to re-shoot a couple of scenes with (insert same big-shot dinosaur butt rock act here). As an aside: The Dave of the title is played by Rory Kinnear, son of great British character actor Roy Kinnear who plays nervous, dishonest, glad-handers in all almost everything British and funny from 1964 to 1990.
