Present and appreciative of the work that got us here.

Gary Sheffield, Marlins?

As the poster who first proposed Willets Point, I still like it best. And not for nothing but Mets Grand Central feels/sounds better than Grand Central Mets to my ears.

2, then 5.

Is there a problem (trademark?) with using the Mets script?

In a nod to an old poster, Willets Point Mets?

Meet the Mets.

Soto's gotta be in there.

Canha signed with Texas. I always like Tommy Pham and think Joey Lucchessi was badly under-utilized by the Mets.

Mark Canha gets to sample the cuisine in Texas, inking a minor-league dealio with the Rangers.

Bat Soto leadoff---he has the OBP and the ability to steal bases, and you want your best hitter to get the most at-bats. I saw the Mets social media posts, where the players hold cute chalkboards like they are kindergartners, this week. Vientos listed 1B/3B as his positions, and I think we see more of him at first than we'd like. Williams has to close, and he has to perform well.

Verlander (back) to the Tigers. Thats a formidable rotation in Detroit!

Glad to see the Pirates (and White Sox) making moves this off-season. It's good for their fans and for the game.

I've soured alot on Alvarez. This is a make-or-break year for him in my estimation. I'm not holding out hope. And again, for all the talk about improving the team defense, having three guys (Polanco, Bichette, and Baty?) potentially play new positions on opening day does not inspire me.

Seeing social media posts that Soto is leaning on the Mets to bring back his friend and mentor, Starling Marte. Could SM be this year's Iglesias and keep the clubhouse light?
