OK, not a lot of Luis predictions. I'll go with a bullish .284 / .352 / .389 // .741 in 106 games. Four homers and four steals. He'll be a 4/4 guy.

OK, let's align our ducks. Also, somebody sign Terrance Gore already.

There aren't any big surprises in the first cuts. Certainly Orze, Hartwig, and Walker were among the bottom-ranked hopefuls in camp. Parada might have stuck around a little more, as catchers do, but best to get him out of Álvarez's way. The interesting part here is the Mets giving up on Zach Greene. This opens up room for John Curtiss, who was out of options, so they might have saved a guy by tossing a guy back.

David Peterson, Elieser Hernández, and Joey Lucchesi all have stronger track records than Tylor Megill, but Megill clearly made an impression on the right people (Buck, mostly, we would guess) with his opening day start and strong first half, because all the indicators suggest that he's first in line to get Quintana's rotation spot, despite his prolonged absence in last season's second half, and his ineffective performances upon his return, helping the Mets blow his division lead. He's mostly looked like he's back in form so far this spring though, so hey, let's go!

A reclusive and reluctant romance novelist finds herself swept into one of her own tales as she is kidnapped off to a jungle island, with only her agent and her regular cover model in pursuit to rescue her. There may be hyjinks. [FIMG=500]https://i.etsystatic.com/41365720/r/il/b79dfc/4646813872/il_794xN.4646813872_hymq.jpg[/FIMG]

The numbers game wasn't really conducive to Coonrod making the roster as it was. Rest up and get strong Cooney. Take a knee for a while.

Diamond Sports Group, a subsidiary of the Sinclair Propaganda Corporation, owner of 14 Bally Sports regional sports networks, has filed for bankruptcy. The announcement includes the insistence that they still have assets in place to keep the networks operating, but you know, Silicon Valley Bank had assets too.

My belly may bloat and my legs may stumble, but my hands are as good as any in the game, and I aims to test how far that can get a man. I'm Luis Guillorme, and I'm the number-two guy (at least for now) at three infield positions. My sweet and soft hands may not get me into the lineup every day, but apart from my shiny ballhandling on defense, I've been able to generate some offensive utility out of them as well, which at least is more than Rey Ordóñez could say (until he left the Mets). I'm not dumping on Rey here, I'm just telling my story. And seeing me get more playing time in spring can make a person wonder exactly what I can do with more regular playing time. For it was in spring that I hit that mammoth homerun to center. It was in spring that I made a plate appearance last all day. It was in spring that I plucked a flying bat out of the air as it tomahawked toward my teammates. I'm like the springVP, but when we talk about Twenty-Three Skiddoo, we're mostly talking about summer, and how I fit into the Mets' summer plans remains to be seen. And how I respond to whatever time I get is what we're here to talk about. So start talking. I've got some balls to juggle. And some facial hair to grow.

I think that's become pretty close to standard since Grease. You're supposed to pay more attention or something when the names and faces aren't corresponding, forcing you to match them up.

You may think of Los Angeles' Crenshaw High School as the place where great ballplayers come from. But what of Crenshaw Middle School? Well, that's where great spellers come from. At least, that's where one great speller comes from. At least, it is in the universe this movie is set in. Akeelah is that middle schooler — an indifferent overall student from a single-parent home, afraid of standing out in the harsh social structures around her. But her principal sees her talent as transformational — something that can not only turn her life around, but perhaps create some ripples radiating out around her, and so he hooks her up with a mentor who is working through some shit of his own. And while her family, friends, and classmates are initially unsupportive embittered by her standout skill and the snooty spelling crowd she hangs out with across town, eventually they become part of her quest to spell her way to glory. GLORY! [FIMG=500]https://i.etsystatic.com/41088122/r/il/eeb575/4700354810/il_794xN.4700354810_r76u.jpg[/FIMG]

You may want to copy and save that post for the array of threads I'm going to put up over the coming weeks to jumpstart this sub-forum.

My name is José Quintana, and myself and my rib are here on a two-year deal to start some games and eat some frames. I'm not the biggest acquisition of the offseason, and I'm not the second-biggest. I'm, in fact, the third-biggest. And if you want more specificity, I'll clarify that I'm in fact the third biggest starting pitcher acquisition. That may not be much. But don't go overlooking me like just another empty Funyuns bag blowing across the Mets' St. Lucie complex. I matter. I'm kind of the Omar Narváez of the rotation. David Peterson or Tylor Megill (or Blade Tidwell or Calvin Ziegler) may take my job at any point, possibly tomorrow, but rather than definitively rely on the notion that they're ready, the team has brought me in to stave them off as long as possible. Quintana is more or less the Colombian word for "operational redundancy." But I'm more than that. I'm a tough mofo who brings it from the portside. I'm a person. I'm a person with a cool haircut, a sore rib, more career wins than Jacob deGrom, and seven organizations on my résumé. And I expect to make myself known before the Mets become just another one of those. While reports yesterday say I've been shut down until further notice, that hasn't been confirmed. ZiPS says I've got 1.8 WAR to distribute over 2023 and maybe more in my future. That's one opinion. Well, actually, it's two. It's three if you count the Funyuns-bag thing, but I don't count that, so we'll call it two opinions. What's yours?

The classy ones fade too soon.

The interesting part for me is wondering what the Mets want to do with that roster spot. Rule V-ers usually make it to the end of spring training, if nothing else, with the team delaying as long as they can before making an all-or-nothing choice. Aren't waivers a secret thing that you tend to not to officially find out about until after the guy is claimed or clears?

Wow, and that's without Daniel Murphy.

Listen. I wasn't passed by Brett Baty. Don't let people get away with saying that. The only reason BB got called up before me (after six games at AAA, FFS!) is that the Mets were short on lefty hitters. I got a up a few weeks later and I earned my promotion. I'm Mark Vientos, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. I'm also having a solid spring, have put together a strong minor league career, and have kind of gotten sneakily better as I've progressed, even as most prospect rankers keep me at arm's length. As they say in those movies and TV shows where an ambitious young man has his talents overlooked, I'LL SHOW THEM! I'LL SHOW THEM ALL!! But what will I show them? ZiPS says I'll show them about 1.9 WAR, but only the Crane Pool Forum knows for sure.

When a party of Canadian miners get trapped after a cave-in, their air begins to run out. Somewhere in the Northwest United States, a trucker and his mechanic partner/brother find themselves down-on-their-luck, and sign up for the rescue mission, a not-so-great-big-convoy carrying needed rescue equipment across a frozen lake ... in April. Even in Canada, that's a risky way to go, but it's the mission they've signed up for. The perils of nature and the underhanded designs of man increase their danger every mile. [FIMG=450]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZDFiZTE4NWEtMGNkNC00YjhlLTk0YjMtNDA3NWRhMjc3MTM2XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyOTA5NzQ0MDQ@._V1_.jpg[/FIMG]

My brother was invited to a luxury box in YSII. Pepitone was apparently employed as a guy whose job it was to go from box to box and schmooze. My brother didn't know that, and answered a knock on the box door with, "Can I help you?" to the leisure-suited bewigged guy on the other side of the door. "Can yoo help me? Eggscyoose me?" he answered before the regulars in the box all turned around with "Hey, Joey Pep! C'mon in!" sparing my brother and the dubious legend of Joe Pepitone any further embarrassment. "Hey, Joe, what's up with ... " said one of the regular box denizens before they all finished his sentence with "... Hideki Irabu?!" "I dunno," replied Joe. "I could never figure Japan out."

Pete's in the lower right. Shmescobar is going to have a good season, his totals only kept down by other folks invading the lineup and giving him more days off than his performance might otherwise warrant. .271 / .330 / .490 // .820, with 18 homers and 62 RBI.

Man, that flirtation with Carlos Correa was a kick in the ballz. Yeah, I was only an asset half the year last season, but seeing Billy Eppler flirting with some other guy while I'm just standing here was demeaning. I'm the Mets incumbent thirdbaseman, WHETHER MANAGEMENT CARES OR NOT. Yeah, I've got three infield prospects and a Gold Glove-quality reserve pushing me from below and a profligate owner above threatening to replace me with the flavor of the month. What can I say? It's a competitive game. But I had some memorable highlights last season (along with some admittedly deep shlumps), including some of the most memorable performances of the season by ANYBODY on the team, and as far as today goes, I'm the king of the hot corner. What do you say to THAT?! Seriously, what do you say to that? Because who knows how long it's going to last and how 2023 will look? Nobody. Nobody knows until you tell us.

Some combination of Tylor Megill, Eliesor Hernández, and Joey Lucchesi angling for the starting opportunities created by the Quintana/Senga/Peterson crisis. If the rotation survived the spring intact, Peterson had a good shot of going north as a reliever, so his foot may or may not be triggering jockeying in the bullpen as well.

Great recap. With Yoenis Céspedes bringing it for Cuba, Matt Harvey getting his Itallian on, and Ruben Tejada donning his Panama hat, I love the fact that the tournament is filled with these figures from the Mets' 2015 pennant run still chasing the cup years after their last MLB appearances. What this tournament needs is some Daniel Murphy.

The Southland Conference has suspended the umpire in question indefinitely.

Joey Lucchesi spending his second appearance giving up three runs in one inning is ominous for all Lucchesi followers.

Angel Hernandez is a legend, but I suspect that, if you ank the players, he wouldn't come out on the bottom for them. Angel blows a call, and the players' attitudes seem to be, "That's just Angel being Angel." But when C.B. Bucknor or Brian O'Nora blow a call, players seem to take it more personally, and their attitude seems more like "I'm gonna kill this guy."

Jeff McNeil sitting on an 0-3 as the US leads 5-1. Vance Worley, who hasn't seen MLB action since 2017, throwing three innings without an earned run for the glory of King Charles. Unfortunately, two unearnies slipped in there.

Rather than going big at catcher two years ago, the Mets went for a transitional figure. James McCann. McCann had a moment here and maybe there, but any transition to a better future that the Mets enjoyed in the meantime sure didn't happen at catcher. They ended his tenure early. It wasn't a deal, so much as a deal-off. Transition aborted. So here they are, reasonably hoping a better, not-batting-ninth, backstopping future is on the horizon with Fernando Álvarez, Kevin Parada, and possibly others. It could arrive tomorrow, possibly later, possibly well later, and possibly not at all. But rather than pushing it further down the road by going big this time, they replaced their transitional figure with another transitional figure. And that's where I come in. I'm Omar Narváez. Like McCann, my career has had a few bright spots, my defense has been a feature (at least in recent years), but there probably ain't a lot of kids that are excited when my card appears in their pack o' Topps. But I'm Venezuelan, a respected vet, and hopefully I can impart some wisdom to the more talented youngsters while squeezing what's left out of my lesser — but perhaps more fully realized — talent in my own person. I don't know what's coming of that. Everything might go silky smooth, or you might be looking up how to say McCann in Venezuelan by mid-May. I just don't know. But you might.
