To a lesser extent, I wanted Murph to change the subject to the Mets during Bowling For Dollars. But, really, it's not like there was a subject during Bowling For Dolalrs. Every once in a while I'm flipping channels in the car and catch Gary doing whatever college bball team he does (Seton Hall?). I briefly get a surge of excitement, then curse and continue flipping channels.

WSJ, since covering baseball, seems to get as much wrong as anybody, but I applaud them for taking new angles and asking new (and often bigger) questions. Well yeah, they didn't want to make waves by not getting half of it wrong.

abandoned. go go go http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams way up top of the page is the link to edit team if you prefer a less mechanical team name.

Another factor is it'd be foolish to spend all of Bay's and Santana's money at once. Bay's is a waste, but Santana's money will actually be need to replace what's probably/hopefully a somewhat productive player. But either way, with all that money coming off, it's going to look bad even though it shouldn't, if the payrolls lower in 2013 than 2012. A way to offset that is to bump it up a little _this_year, as then you're workingwith a 2-year subset of players.

Adam Rubin, to himself: "Run with the "They're broke angle. You might not have to write a bunch of posts about possible ways to get Justin or B.J. Upton. You can probably just repost something from last offseason and take a vacation. Or spruce up your resume for Jeff."

I don't want, say, some Cleveland radio station to say "this guy's amazing; give him whatever he wants to come here." Indeed. It also sucks when guys miss games for other jobs. Jim Duquette is not horrible, but after just one season I feel that losing Josh Lewin to football even a few weekends a year is too many. This was especially noticeable as the absence of channel 11 had me listening to the Mets while watching football on mute a couple of Sundays. Fortunately, Howie is rarely called upon to extend his Islanders gig into the playoffs. ouch. Of course, Islanders fans say the same thing about his Mets gig into October..

just waiting on metsmarathon to abandon the team then. Trying to remember if he was up in the air about it being the bot or him or I'd do it for him. Then you can simply click 'claim' on the abandoned team page.
-
Ah. This is some sort of open online league that we all jumped in together on? I'll do whatever we need, if marathon and I need to do it together, or if he can just change the e-mail address on the second account to mine or whatever. What's the link to the league? no changes to account names are permitted though. (fangraphs account) this is the league: http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/209/home this is the 'claim abandoned teams' page: http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams I could probably email niv about simply switching the team to a different account, but timing it is probably easier. Worse case scenario we force-abandon the team if someone else sneaks in and claims it and we try again.

Don't remember the date, but leaving after the second of Dickey's one-hitters in a row with my wife and noting how she'd had yet to see the Mets bullpen in two games and realizing Dickey had a chance to have a really magical season.

I'm not going to just dismiss what he writes/speculates just because it's him. I dismiss what he writes because his arguments are, always, based on asserting things which I don't find to be tautologies.

giving you the easy ones, but perhaps one day the greatest Met ever, David Wright.

metsmarathon wrote: i don't want the moral ambiguity of having to go through the arbitration process twice. i don't think it would be fair to let me assign arbitration dollars against myself (or to allow me not to assign arbitration dollars to myself on behalf of the new owner of the clockwork orange and blues). it also muddies the waters of how i would assign arbitration values to the rest of everybody, i should think. I don't see an easy way to transfer a team without the abandon/claim timing method of you clicking the button while seawolf is clicking refresh.

Dickey and Wright could get raises in lieu of options, but it seems unlikely. Sandy's got plenty of work to do, but there are good pieces too. Even without a significant payroll increase, although I suspect from his comments it could go up some, acquisitions he wants to make coming through and all. No reason to write off 2013.
-
It depends if you want to do arbitration twice, or want seawolf to do it. I believe the renewal date stays, so the transfer is easy. I'm not sure how to do the transfer yet, i assume there's a way to do it without releasing to teh team to abandonment and having him claim it.
