    An all-time Met, by any metric. One of the Metsiest Mets who ever Metsed.

    The center fielder is McCutchen?
  3. seawolf17
    The catcher has to be Yadier Fucking Molina.

    YA. GOTTA. BELIEVE. 95-67, going all the way.

If he remains a Met, he'll be on the 60-day DL during the course of the 2018 and 2019 seasons, but if I understand correctly, he'd take up a 40-man roster spot during the off-season? Correct, as far as I know.

    If you move one of the outfielders to center, you could still make a team out of the guys on ESPN's list: Carlos Ruiz C Geovany Soto C Mark Reynolds 1B Michael Morse 1B Brandon Phillips 2B Stephen Drew SS Mike Aviles SS J.J. Hardy SS Yunel Escobar 3B Franklin Gutierrez LF Jayson Werth LF Melky Cabrera RF Jose Bautista RF Seth Smith RF Andre Ethier RF John Jaso RF Matt Holliday DH R.A. Dickey SP Scott Feldman SP Ubaldo Jimenez SP John Lackey SP Matt Garza SP Joe Blanton RP Jason Grilli RP Greg Holland RP Zach Putnam RP Trevor Rosenthal RP Drew Storen RP Huston Street RP

    Traded him. Felt like gutting the MFYs, so I threw an offer at them for Rickey Henderson and Dave Righetti in an attempt to eat some salary and they bit: Ojeda (who they made into a serviceable bullpen arm), Dykstra (who gave them 4.0 WAR in '88 and 1.7 so far in '89), Tim Teufel, and a draft pick. (I always enable draft pick trading.) Made out like a bandit on the deal, but we've got Rickey at big money for a few years and he's the weak link right now in an otherwise strong lineup, with just a .343 OBP.

    Apparently, all the 1988 Mets needed was to swing the Mark Langston trade -- I acquired him for McDowell, Aguilera, and a minor leaguer -- because my 1989 Mets rotation is unreal right now: Gooden 9-3, 2.01 Langston 6-3, 2.77 Darling 7-1, 2.16 Fernandez 8-1, 2.81 West 9-0, 2.61 And those are the five *highest* ERAs on the team, as my bullpen has pitched 133 2/3 innings in our first 63 games and has a 1.08 ERA.

Could you imagine if he was in PSL with those stats? People would be going bananas.

    John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: I'm telling you guys. 7 inning games in the minors would much more efficiently solve all the problems this gimmick purports to solve. If it wasn't auditioning to be a mlb stunt it wouldn't be like this. This makes an enormous amount of sense, actually. If you've ever seen minor league middle relievers, you'd know why. Every Ducks game we ever go to, for example, gets through the first six innings in an hour and then grinds to a halt.

    Edgy MD wrote: I think we have it backwards though. It's not OK to cheapen minor league baseball because no one cares about the results. No one cares about the results because we have so cheapened minor league baseball. Correct. I get that running a MILB team is tough; there's not a lot of money in it, I'd guess, and you have to deal with the whims of your affiliated franchise stocking your roster in ways that are probably largely out of your control. A friend of a friend raised a good point -- this is a money move because there's no money in extra innings; your beer sales are done, but you're still paying all your staff. Let someone score and shut it down. I say FUCK THAT. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_professional_baseball_game
