Poor Tauchman. He went from "probable starting outfielder" a week before opening day to "13 for 61 with one RBI in the minors and released."

The 1995 New Hampshirean is Don Florence.

I had very low expectations. I honestly thought it was a very risky signing, expecting him to move seamlessly in to a key spot in the rotation after being a short man. But he was really excellent here.

I mean, sometimes guys fall off the cliff. It happens. Nobody's an ace forever. You hate to see it, because Freddy seems to be a very good dude, but you just don't know.

And that doesn't even factor in fan sentiment. There are probably still more ALONSO 20 shirts in the park on any given day than there ever will be BICHETTE 19 ones.

But hey! Senga's rested!

You just made up "Jimmy Yacabonis." I call shenanigans.

I am super excited for this guy. He's nuts. The others are Nate Lavender, making his MLB debut; Dedniel Nunez, back from injury; McDermott, who was the Rortvedt trade; and Christian Pache, into the Tyrone Taylor Memorial Fifth Outfielder Roster Spot.

I like this idea too. Just fuckin' ghost fork the shit out of guys.

I'm with Radar on this. They're right - this team is demonstrably worse now than it was when he took over, and the future overall looks grimmer too. For a team that is supposed to be able to afford the best and the brightest, they're just... not. I saw it in one of these threads here yesterday from someone, and it's spot on: If Stearns' preference is for short-term deals so he's not hamstrung moving forward, then you're going to get guys who will sign short-term deals. Superstars... don't sign short-term deals. They just don't. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it. And I don't like it any more than you.

Curry is back according to mets.com, but the other additions haven't been officially announced.

We've got at least five guys coming up tomorrow.

This feels like a solid deal.

The thing with Arraez is that it's really his *only* skill. He's not a good fielder, he can't run, he doesn't have any pop.

I mean, hey, there's a chance this team finishes the season 96-66. Wouldn't *that* be a story!
