I am still hoping that the Mets and Alonso can come to terms on a 4-5 year deal. Having Bregman at third and moving Vientos to first is a good plan B. The line up would definitely miss Alonso's power, but the overall drop off in offensive production with Bregman not as significant and one might expect and the infield defense would definitely be improved. I hope to see Pete back manning first base this season, but if he goes elsewhere and the Mets get Bregman for third base, then I believe they will still be in good shape offensively.

When it comes to Pete's free agency, Boras works for Pete. Boras will advise him and do all he can to get the best possible offer for Pete, but the ultimate decision of what is enough and where he wishes to sign is Pete's. Most players opt for the most money, but some do consider where they wish to live and play. The Mets need to be competitive with their offer, but they do not need to bid against themselves, or necessarily be the biggest offer when it comes to money and years. If Pete truly wishes to remain in New York, then they should be able to come to terms that should be satisfactory to both sides. It would be great to have him back next year to team up with Lindor, Vientos, Nimmo, and Soto, but not if he is expecting $30-35 mil. /yr. over 5-7 years. Pete is a valuable, but he is not nealy in the class (imho) of Lindor and Soto.

Nice to have soupcan make an appearance. I endorse his plan and hope the Mets do as well. Slotting Pete in the 4 slot behind Soto would really make the Mets lineup pretty scary.

I went with Ichiro. CC Sabathia is the only other one on the list that I gave serious consideration. It is the Hall of Fame, it is supposed to represent greatness and sustained excellence. I personally feel the HOF has been watered down by the inclusion of too many good, but not great players.

Don't forget to factor in Sean Manaea who declined his player option, thereby making himself a free agent. Personally, who I wish to see the Mets keep or let walk, depends a great deal upon who they pick up from outside the current crop of Mets free agents. For isntance, I am fine with letting Severino and Manaea go if the Mets were to sign Corbin Burnes and Max Fried. Otherwise, I'd prefer they hold on to who they had. Decisions don't occur in a vaccuum. Who is expendable, greatly depends on who you have in their place.

I know the Mets just drafted him in the second round (46th overall pick) last night, but I have watched him pitch (on TV) a few times for Duke during the ACC season, so I wanted to watch over him. He has a fastball in the mid-90's (93-95) and a very good slider in the low 80's. His third pitch is a change up, but he doesn't rely too heavily on it. His main issue has been command and consistently throwing strikes. Hopefully, that will get better with time and he can improve his change up to give him 3 legitimate MLB quality pitches. During his career at Duke opposing hitters batted .208 against him. This season, opponents hit only .188 against him and he racked up 90 strike outs over 58 innings of work.

With today's rainout of the game against the Gaurdians , I figured it was a good time check in to see how Jett was getting along with the Port St. Lucie Mets (A). Through 26 games he has 20 appearances at shortstop, 4 in CF, and 2 at DH. He seems to be struggling a bit at the plate thus far. In 119 plate appearances he has 18 hits for a .209 average. He has however drawn 23 walks and been hit by 8 pitches so his OBP is a healthy .412 and he is 9 of 13 in steal attempts. He has 8 errors in 70 chances at shortstop, but he is young, so hopefully he will get steadier. He has all the tools to be a good defender.

Florida Complex League season was completed on 8/28/22. Jett played 10 games (8 at SS & 2 as DH) after signing.

Well, the Avi was here renewed the activity of the thread which then let me post in it. I don't know if it is my settings (or something else), but I can only post in threads that have active recently (or since I last logged in). I can only see and respond to new posts, even in long threads that are 4-5 pages long. Very frustrating.

Thanks for the assist, KC. Jett is off to a pretty nice start in the Rookie League. In 32 ABs he has put up .250/.366/.804 with 1 HR and 6 stolen bases.

I believe COVID-19 allowed all NCAA athletes an extra year of eligibility.

He already has some great walk up music just made for him when he reaches the show. [YOUTUBE]ZwRXxtwcJus[/YOUTUBE] Damn, I never can remember how to post youtube videos. Anyway, the opening of "Jet" by Paul McCartney & Wings would be a great walk up for Jett Williams.

At 5'8" tall and a stocky 175 pounds, Jett may be short, but he isn't exactly small. He is an 18 year old shortstop out of Rockwall-Heath High School in Texas that is signed, sealed, and delivered. The 14th overall pick in the 2022 draft has agreed to terms ($3.9 Mill.) with the Mets and will be heading to Florida within the week. Jett brings a right handed bat that has proven to be proficient at barreling up pitches. He is a line drive hitter with surprising power. Most scouts considered Jett one of the best combinations of hitting and speed available in the draft. He has good hands and is considered to have the defensive chops to be a true major league shortstop in the future. Many scouts believe that he could also slot well defensively at second base or centerfield if need be. His father and uncle both attended Stony Brook University and Jett lived on Long Island as a young child, so he has a New York connection. Welcome to the Mets family Jett.

My wife, daughter, and I have watched all of the Marvel movies in their chronological order (not order of release) from Captain America: The First Avenger to The Avengers: End Game. We only have Spider-Man Far From Home left to watch. It is amazing how much the movies tie into one another and make more sense when watched in this order rather than the order of the actual production and release.
