Pretty analogous to the Jed Lowrie signing. Plays second, third, and short; switch-hitter; in the back end of his career, but has somehow been a better hitter in his thirties than his twenties; two-year deal; can start or come off the bench. Probably not the most encouraging of developments for the Jonathan Villar Return Watch.

I watched the first half of the the first episode and: 1) Good God, the beginnings of the sessions at Twickenham are a slog. 2) The lack of authority is palpable — over the songwriting, over the recording, over the alleged concert this is supposed to end with. 3) They refer to Brian Epstein as "Mr. Epstein." At first, you think the deference is somewhat ironic, but it's clearly not, as they all continue to do it. They acknowledge they didn't all agree with his decisions but appreciate that it gave the four of them a unified direction. 4) Perhaps not having a proper studio to operate out of, George Martin is mostly absent, robbing the group of another authority figure, and perhaps the organization and direction they'd have in a proper studio. 5) Glynn Johns tries to step up and give them musical feedback. It's mostly solid direction, but he's young and doesn't project the authority for them to listen to. He's more of an engineer than a producer at this point in his career. 6) David Lindsay-Hogg is both young and posh, and his overtures for them to commit to the direction of the project — as they rebut that they can't commit to anything if the sessions aren't productive — is fruitless. Even Paul rebuffs him. 7) Paul is the centerpiece, as he's trying to establish a process in the absence of another leader. They even acknowledge what has happened to them as boys in the absence of a father, and he's trying to step up. He's even grown a beard for the occasion. But officious Paul is nobody's favorite Paul, including himself, and he's very sensitive about how the others are reacting to him, and constantly tugging at his beard, as if he's not sure he's fit for his new role. 8) Nobody's communicating very well. There are a lot of incomplete sentences and empty pronouns. They've been together for the better part of 15 years, so sentences like “That's … you know … if you do the other thing … like that …” probably makes more sense to them than myself, but I have no idea what the fuck they are getting at. 9) Ringo is mostly mute as the other three try to hammer out a process for getting their songs together. 10) It's terrific to hear John spontaneously coming up with a countermelody lyric for “I've Got a Feeling” and Paul liking it right away. It's also astounding how, on Day Two, John is a little late, and Paul starts fooling with a bass lick that germinates into “Get Back” really quickly. George and Ringo immediately recognize that a genuine song is happening (it would in fact be a single), and start focusing on what they can add. By the time Lennon arrives, seemingly 20 minutes later, they've got a good chunk of the song finished, though the chord-change hook isn't there yet, and neither are the verse lyrics. They put the song away quickly, like they don't want to lay it on John until Paul's got his lyric down, and it's almost like a secret among the three of them. 11) It's kind of sad to hear George's early contributions to the song, because he would later walk away from the sessions, and one of the results is that John ends up playing the lead guitar in the rooftop concert version. 12) They instead work on “Maxwell's Silver Hammer.” Paul seemingly thinks it's a real forward-thinking piece, but John thinks it's more granny music despite the serial killer lyric. Nonetheless, everybody is committed to it, and the arrangement quickly has more structure than the songs they were working on the previous day. 13) Massive roadie Mal Evans is brought in to bang a hammer against an anvil during the song. He also transcribes the lyrics for “I've Got a Feeling” as John is coming up with them. You could re-cut the whole film to just tell the story of how badly Evans wants to be in on the group's creative process, but is kept just outside the circle, with the men fetching sandwiches and drinks and lighting cigars and ciggies. 14) It's old hat to blame Yoko for the breakup, but her presence here is almost spectral — like she's the abstract representation of the new directions pulling them apart (the pull on George is also represented by a Hare Krishna disciple sitting in the corner, who at some point seems to undergo mitosis and split into two Hare Krishnas). She's inside the circle, but always sitting over John's shoulder, often sewing or knitting, shifting seats when he shifts from guitar to organ to piano. She's not always my bag, but I love her jumpsuit. Whatever her presence was in the White Album sessions and the later Get Back session joining the four of them on the recording studio floor, here in the big film studio, with a big gap of space in between the group and the world, her presence among them is almost comical. 15) I bailed at that point because my wife was growing disengaged. I know they will be turning a corner, but I know from reports that Paul thought he had a single in “Maxwell's Silver Hammer” and he poured everything into it until the others were ready to take a hammer to him. It's pretty funny to now realize that this all took place while they had a genuine hit single simmering on the back burner.

Minor league pitching coordinator and rookie-level pitching coach Carter Capps has left the organization to become pitching coach for The University of Seattle, only a year after having been recruited away from biometric training agency Driveline to join the Mets. Some idle chatter has projected ex-Met Buddy Carlyle as a fit for the role, as he had previously been hired by Billy Eppler in Los Angeles. Driveline founder Kyle Boddy was also supposedly a person of interest earlier in the fall. Capps was known for a blazing fastball and unconventional motion that helped him to a 1.16 ERA for Miami back in 2015, before tearing his UCL and standing by helplessly as MLB explicitly outlawed his pitching motion during his rehabilitation. The two combined to ffectively end his career, but he was looked at as a forward thinker with a big future last year when he joined the organization as a coach and coordinator at just 30.

Alderson says there re two types of currency, grouping players and prospects together. I think there's a lot more.

Last worked for a big league organization about five years ago with the Orioles. Popped up a lot in the press in the memorial stories about Pedro Feliciano. I kind of like Rick, but in talking about Feliciano, he couldn't help making himself the hero of the story. It's funny that you still meet folks who sing the fired-in-the-middle-of-the-night storyline about Willie Randolph. Nobody seems to care that Rick bought it that night too. Heck, he probably got fired a little later.

Good grab. There's a player where once there was none. I wouldn't make too much out of six innnings for Colorado in 2020.

On the verge of disbanding, the world's greatest rock band returns to the studio attempting to compose (largely), arrange, and record an album in a matter of three weeks, live with no overdubs, with plans to end the session with a concert. Filmmaker Michael Lindsay-Hogg documented in the proceedings with 1970s Let It Be film, but Peter Jackson returns to the 55 hours of footage (and 140 hours of audio) to re-cut and re-tell the story. To air in three two-hour parts over Thanksgiving weekend. [fimg=350]https://images.bonanzastatic.com/afu/images/822a/595f/897a_10817632024/W_1265_.jpg[/fimg]

In the latest of his portrayals of iconic historical Brits who were neurodivergent social misfits, Benedict Cumberbatch stars as the titular Louis Wain, the celebrated illustrator of anthropomorphic cats, whose whimsical work somehow rose out of a life of tragedy and struggle, but (or so it is argued) changed the place of the cat in Western Anglo culture.

So, if and when he appears for the Mets, he becomes a potential answer in the First-Rounder Kwiz.

Solid Scott Hairston-y footballi-playerish frame, but lefthanded swinger/thrower. Plays center as often as he plays the corners. Seems like a good and thoughtful move, but one good minor league season gives us no reason yet to bump him ahead of Lee or Payton on the depth chart. They are coming off good seasons also, and weren't so bad before that.

Take that, Steven Matz. I can't really see how that profile is worthy of a major league deal, but then I realized that a year ago (almost exactly), the team signed Sam McWilliams to major league deal despite little experience (and no success) above AA. This guy may be the offensive version of that — a guy on the minor league free agent market without a successful track record, but has been identified as ready to turn a corner. McWilliams ended up DFA'd and claimed by San Diego, but perhaps this is a market angle the Mets focus on.

That's a pretty terrific legacy for a pitcher who never quite seemed to have it all together. Sort of like the Darryl Strawberry of pitchers, in that you could get so lost in how great he might be that you don't fully appreciate how terrific he is. Same height, too.

I would conclude that the Mets do have a functioning communications team. It's just that Stevie don't care. Jesus Christmas, this guy isn't going to be the new Steinbrenner, is he?

Steve is unhappy this morning: https://twitter.com/StevenACohen2/status/1463505594887852032 And, ya know, he's been in the baseball for decades and has seen some shit. I LOLOLed.

I'm not sure what lifetime of experience with player agents Mr. Cohen thinks he has had. He's a quillionaire, so he doesn't need advice from me, but if he feels like he got played, I wouldn't recommend making a public display of crying over it. Very Trumpy, as a matter of fact.

I'm not sure a website called IsSteveCohenHappyToday.com would get as many hits as Steve thinks it would.

Well, I guess neither Loup nor Syndergaard were the Mets' top priority.

We're catching up on scoring some buttered bonus questions! broken open question: brooks & dunston Well, that's just operating out of order. Answer the regular question first!! Under any circumstances, no, Brooks and Dunnie are not the two Mets drafted in the regular edition first round first. Hubie would be an excellent guess, generally, as he was drafted a whole bunch of times, but back then, once you opted not to sign the first time, you fell into a secondary draft pool. We're only looking for guys picked in the first round of the primary phase of the draft. regular bonus question: 178 Assuming this is the "How many first rounders have been Mets?" question, this is a healthy guess but you're coming in high. The good news is that we have a high guess and a low guess on this question. We now have a finite range of possible answers.

Nor do I think it's a case of only being able to focus on one priority at a time.

Started his managerial career in the Mets system, including several future World Champions with https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/team.cgi?id=695b9940Williamsport in 1966 and https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/team.cgi?id=7ba56317Jacksonville in 1967. Also gets a slot on the UMDB for putting himself in the game a few times in '66, reaching base one time in eight trips for Williamsport.

Senger upped himself to fourth on the organizational depth chart, and he has a very good chance of being snagged in the Rule V Draft.

Story apparently broken by an announcement from Greg Swindell, who reported COVID complications as the cause.

One thing the Mets did well amid all the 2021 injuries was to continue bringing in minor league vets to fill the depleted upper ranks of their farm system and keep players in the bottom ranks from being forced into premature promotions. The fact that there's seemingly a Luis Gonzalez or two in every system also made this one easy to miss.

This leaves the Mets top lefty reliever under contract as Andrew Mitchell, who threw 29 innings for Bingo last year and another 10 for Syracuse, and would be about the 16th man on the Mets relief depth chart, if you don't factor in for handedness. A handful of changes to the minor league free agent table below, as new information has come to light.
