I like how Dusty is shirtless and the Piazza boys are dressed for a Norristown snowball fight.

Jeff Kent is a strong candidate from where I sit, but his position sure reads like sour grapes to me. Who or what are "non-voting stat folks" that "keep comparing those players to players already voted in from generations past"? Also, it's highly misleading to write that Kent "racked up 377 home runs (most all-time for a second baseman)." He hit 351 homers as a secondbaseman, 17 as a thirdbaseman, seven as a firstbaseman, one as a shortstop, and one as a designated hitter. It's a perfectly impressive amount without distorting the record. The next highest, Robbie Canó, has 316 as a secondbaseman, and he clearly cheated, so it's not like 351 isn't plenty.

I think most options are club options. They also tend to guarantee 10 or 15 cents on the dollar. So if you don't pick up a guy's $20 million dollar salary, you have to pay him to or three million to go away. It gives both sides some security.

Man, MISERY is killing me.

Jose Lind? Doug Flynn? Robbie Alomar when not a Met? Frank White, Bobby Grich, and Lou Whitaker are up there, and those last two should totally be Holla Famers. As much as folks raved about Ryne Sandberg, I really didn't like the way he played.

Yeah, third base has historically something of a shortage in HoF representation, I think. I imagine that Adrian Beltre is going to be a first ballot guy.

#HundredDollarHeroes baseball-reference records a https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=hugelm001nevNeville Hugelmeyer who pitched in 1959 and 1960 at the D and C levels, with little success. That's more than likely our N. I'm tempted to say that, yeah, but I'd bet he's the only guy on those two teams who got a post-season share. But of the grand total of four of his teammates from those two teams to make it to the bigs, but two of them were Cesar Tovar and Jim Bouton.

Part of me wants to ask if that's the Mets lineup or the Marlins.

We guessed that they were trying to sort out how to open up the roster space, but ultimately, the DFA'd Tayler Saucedo, which seemed like the likely move a week ago. The move not only puts Jeff McNeil in a strong position to take most of his turns at second, where his bat is more valuable, it also completes the roster with an Established VeteranTM in every spot. This effort (the Mets have equaled their record for most major league free agent contracts given out in one offseason) has knocked Francisco Alvarez, Brett Baty, Mark Vientos, Ronny Mauricio, David Peterson and Tylor Megill all out of the picture for the time being, despite having opened the offseason as projected Mets. That picture, of course, is all but guaranteed to change by April 1.

When you visit the https://www.mlb.com/mets/rosterMets roster page, Eduardo Escobar is identified by the number 10, which he wore for the team in 2022. BUT, as first https://www.mbtn.net/?p=3668scooped by Mets by the Numbers on December 26, we see that https://www.mlb.com/player/eduardo-escobar-500871Escobar's MLB.com profile page lists him as wearing #5. One would be a fool to think this is a preview of 2023, and not some sort of clumsy error, as #5 has all but assuredly been placed on eternal mothballs for the Mets. As Escobar previously wore 5 for the Brewers, Diamondbacks, and Twins, it's quite possible his profile page never had his correct Mets number, and it took until December 26 for an eagle-eyed MbtN staffer to pick it up. The real surprise here is that the roster page and the profile page reference two separate uniform number columns in the MLB player database. One would think that the failure is at the league office and not with the team, although perhaps team personnel are tasked with making updates to MLB's data. Anyhow, your assignment is to figure out who needs to be poked to get this page updated. Ten cranebucks to whoever buzzes the right desk. What kind of 5-and-10 operation are they running?

He was number six with Syracuse, but his brief tenure with the big club saw him outfitted in the infrequently assigned 43. Six belonged to Starling Marte this season. https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/screen-shot-2023-01-25-at-11.08.01-am.png> Hey, look! The guy won a Gold Glove playing second for the White Sox in 2019! No wonder he got called up when Guillorme was hurt (I think)!

Yolmer Sanchez was a 2023 New York Met. You may not believe that and I may not believe that, but the digital records on the Web of World Widiness say otherwise. Yesterday, Yolmer signed a minor league contract to be part of the Braves organization. Today, three contestants in our studio, members of our studio audience, and you playing along at home will be competing for BIG PRIZES as we try to reassemble Yolmer's Met legacy from memory as we play ... YOLMER! SANCHEZ! MEMORY! CHALLENGE!!

2021 Met and 2022 rehabilitator Jordan Yamamoto has signed a 2023 minor league deal with the Dodgers. With the DFA of reliever Taylor Saucedo, this leaves the Mets roster's Hawai'i Chair vacant for the time being. It also closes the book on the dramatic, intra-division Federico Polanco/Yamamoto deal with the Marlins. Wore Zach Wheeler's number like he tore it right off the guy's back, and set a new team record for ratio of beefs with Mets fans on Twitter to innings pitched. [FIMG=600]https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/Yz8SXIJPFHgpiOiE2i.yVA--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEyMDA7aD04MDA-/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2021-05/e86d0bc0-bc9d-11eb-bcf7-8aad6b58d601[/FIMG]

They did. And he certainly was a disappointment, additionally aggravated by Ryan's instant success. But the Mets needed soldiers that summer. Harrelson was hurt and unproductive when he was healthy enough to go. Boswell was forced by Millan's arrival to mostly play third, and he didn't hit either. Teddy Martinez got a lot of PT and Ostrosser and Barnes got an additional sprinkling. It might have made nickles worth of difference if some of those plate appearances went to Fregosi, as disappointing as he was, so I'm curious if things had gotten hostile for him, and the Mets had to move him just to close the book. One thing I notice from 1973 footage is that the stadium seemed to have a lot more volatile atmosphere than 1969.

A couple of 1973 questions. Was switching Staub to first and Milner to the outfield an option that Berra considered? Rusty hadn't played first since 1968 at that point, but it would have been a temptation for me. How bad were things for Jim Fregosi that the team traded him mid-season for cash, despite being injury strapped on offense for the second straight season? Was he booed out of town?

Hard to say, but it would seem that the Murphy deal woudn't have worked out much better. It would have opened up third for Gregg Jefferies, but HoJo still had two Silver Sluggers ahead of him and Murphy had about 95% of his career productivity behind him. You're killing me, McIlvaine.

Yeah, landscape photography isn't exactly a story, but a Met winning a batting average title is a story, ... and it's a story they kind of blew. I didn't feel great voting for either of these.

Buddies? Listen — buddies don't take buddies to see the Knicks, knowha'imean?

In fairness to Johnson, that article has him more mealy-mouthed about the deal than the excerpt I posted. It also includes the following: ''I don't make the trades here,'' Davey Johnson said, sounding shocked himself. ''In the fourth inning, Joe came down the runway leading to the bench and told me: 'I got you a new player.' ''I'm happy and I'm sad. It's bittersweet. Roger has been a mainstay of the bullpen, and Lenny's been a hustling center fielder. They've been a big reason for our success." The interesting part here, to me, is whether the trade goes down on Cashen's ledger or McIlvaine's. Cashen was still GM, but Mac seems to own the transaction.

A big leaguer using an aluminum bat, even 20 years after his retirement, just feels wrong.

Mets manager Davey Johnson said, “Juan Samuel is an impact player. Whenever I thought about the Phillies the last four or five years, I thought about Juan Samuel. He reminds me of Bobby Bonds. People don't realize what kind of impact player he is.” https://www.nytimes.com/1989/06/19/sports/mets-get-samuel-for-mcdowell-dykstra.htmlDurso, Joseph. New York Times. June 19, 1989.
