A halfway decent throw and he's out by 30 feet. That's fair, on the other hand you've got 2 outs and MadBum dealing plus the Giants were fielding nervous, who says the LF doesn't spike it in a panic to get it in?

    The 'rule' is silly because it's so easy to leak the news and deny it publicly. Of course, this could've come from the disgruntled Renteria camp too.

    after arb which I think is 11/15. I mean, you can drop 'em now but on the off chance someone wants to give a +$1 to a guy you're going to drop, you save money by waiting. And before 1/31. That's the keeper deadline.

    TEAMS Brettanomyces Tart-ans (this is a beer joke) - Ceetar Greenpoint Lunchladies - mbtn01 Alpine Albatrosses - Mets Marathon smg58 - Not sure who this is. Stony Brook Devil Toads - seawolf Mohawk Red Flyers - mgmlax85 Muddy Chickens - ryanflc Hungrypup - j1mbo15 Giant Gay Liberal Media Deathship - LWFS Easton Assassins - bootlucky Snukes - SaltyGary Miracle Monks - transmonk I don't know if anyone's interested in a second league, but the other league I'm in appears to have an abandoned team (Spa City Nine League of Lev) http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams metsmarathon has found us a replacement for ABNS, but if anyone else is planning on dropping out, let me know? Also, Arbitration. Got another 2 weeks or so to make everyone elses rosters more expensive.

    well then, how about Ted Berg Kayaking in McCovey Cove? http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/10/mccovey-cove-kayaking-san-francisco-giants-world-series-mlb AND snapping a nifty cellphone picture while doing it? [fimg=300]https://usatftw.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/cove2.jpg[/fimg]

It was just a line from one of the recent stories about the wall (I forget exactly where) citing those 7 & 4 figures as coming from NYM sources. just reaching back into my brain, I think I read that on Metsblog and attributed to Mark Simon. Landing spots of 2014 HR have little relevance of 2015 HR anyway. particularly in random tiny stretches of track. Also, Granderson wasn't really bad last year, in fact, he was better than average. People are forgetting to adjust for park and offensive era since 2013-2014 seems to be a new low. Of course, now he's switching hitting coaches again (And he wasn't real great in 2013 with the new guy)

    There's a white panel on the CF wall by the apple. That's the difference between 2013-2014 dimensions and 2015 dimensions. prior to next year, the wall curve out a little bit before going across towards the apple. now it'll stay straighter.

Because if so, that looks like a major overhaul of dimensions. What is that ---- 15 ... 20 feet closer? like..4? look at the white on the wall. that's the difference.
  15. Ceetar
    I think it's just straightening the wall Look at the Xerox ad (The one in the left of the picture) it bends away from home plate. make it straight. Look atthe picture from the chopper. There's a wide spot on the fence which I imagine is before/after. 3 feet?

    The big scary slugger is Duda anyway.

    Oh, clearly. It's weird how sometimes teams seem to leak even the innermost workings of contract negotiations, and yet Maddon supposedly talked with 4-5 teams and we didn't hear a peep. Weird timing too, Friday afternoon? Maybe he really does end up taking a year to drum up interest.

    Frayed Knot wrote: Joel Sherman already weighs in with a piece citing the Mets as #2 guess behind only the Cubs as the 2016 landing spot for Maddon. The logical assumption, the Dodgers on account of the Rays President landing there recently, seems content with Mattingly but that could change in a hurry if they're not in the mix next season with that massive payroll. Dodgers and Mets have both weighed in that they're not switching managers. All this stuff happened days ago, this is just media catching up on all the angles.

    And those were good teams!

Presumed health and internal roster machinations haven't gotten the job done over the past 6 years. Am I being greedy for wanting more than a handful of extra wins? Has there ever been a season where the 12 of the 13ish offensive players from last year return for next year?
  22. Ceetar
    I mean, the Mets aren't going make only one move regardless. Even if Cuddyer is the 'main' acquisition, they're going to probably bring in another backup OF of some sort, even on a minor league deal. They'll be reaching out to MI guys. Pick up a reliever or two because he might be worthwhile. This coupled with a presumably healthy David Wright and Matt Harvey and all the other internal roster machinations that could easily net them a handful of wins, or more, than this year?

He's certainly worth a look and a discussion. There ARE probably a half dozen other guys with similar usefulness though. He's hardly the most singular or necessarily best choice. years, money, etc.
  24. Ceetar
    eh, martino. Cuddyer's the popular choice to talk about because he has that Wright-friendship angle.

Duda totally turned things around on his watch, and d'Arnaud and Niewenhuis started showing signs of life for the first time under his watch as well. Honestly, Hudgens having a job when this guy doesn't strikes me as a miscarriage of justice. Duda was already good, and was good last year too. Nieuwenhuis as well. He'd been 'good' all year, and since his call-up last year. just hasn't gotten much time. I mean, most of the ineptitude was more that the Abreu/Young Jr/Flores/den Dekker guys suck and can't/couldn't hit. Flores and den Dekker picked it up in late September, but, grain of salt there. They're probably looking at something deeper than strict 2014 performance.
