Bean signed an autograph for me through the mail in 2017. He also sent a short note. Jim Umbarger, who played in the 1970s, died in July. No articles yet, but Baseball Almanac has him listed as deceased.

Megill should've been traded. Blackburn did better than I expected.
-
Finished his pro career with a 15-6 record and a 1.90 ERA.
-
All these years later, he's still going. Eight seasons into his pro career and he hasn't even reached Triple-A. But—he's also still just 24!
-
One of these days he'll make the majors. He's gotta. .306/.363/.441 in 2022. .298/.346/.425 at Triple-A in 2023. .328/.376/.428 at Triple-A this year. .294 career average. .312 Triple-A average. The fates must align at some point.
-
He missed all of 2023 and 2024 (so far), but supposedly he's due back pretty soon.
-
He's still around, currently at Triple-A. Great K rate in the minors this year (13.5 per 9) but awful ERA (10.38).
-
It was a horrible March/April that really hurt him. March ERA: 15.43. April ERA: 10.13. May ERA: 5.47. June ERA: 4.26. July ERA: 3.86. ERA since beginning of May: 4.59. Since beginning of June: 4.05. His season ERA has declined nearly every appearance since his first one.

Need 5 teams for my fantasy league
Cowtipper replied to Cowtipper's topic in Crane Pool Forum Fantasy League
I have taken over the team for now to try and improve it...we've gotten it to move up a place in the standings. Someone come and take this while we're on a hot streak! -

Here's what the team currently looks like. I removed Diaz because he wasn't getting many points in this league. -
"Accidental Fentanyl Intoxication" is being cited as cause of death. Sounds like he bought what he thought was the good stuff, but it was laced with the bad stuff.

I've done a little work on this team to improve it. Surely someone must want it! Consider all the possibilities! Edwin Diaz is on the team. -

Looking for someone to adopt an abandoned team. It's a fixer-upper, but could be a fun project for the latter half of the season. The top players are: Marcell Ozuna Vinnie Pasquantino CJ Abrams Will Smith Kyle Tucker Corbin Burnes Maikel Garcia You could slam your team full of starting pitchers and ascend up the ranks quickly that way, as you have a TON of team innings pitched left to use up. If you want it, send along your email address and I'll transfer the team. -

06/08/24 St. Lucie Mets placed RHP Zebulon Vermillion on the full-season injured list.

An audition is when you give someone a tryout at something.
-
You are cherry picking your responses I'm showing there is considerable precedent for what I've said about Alonso and that it doesn't just happen now and then. Feel free to come up with your own evidence-based rebuttals instead of just issuing five-word critiques of mine.

More hyperbole No.

Players since 1980, 240+ lb., 150+ HR, .260 or worse BA (not exhaustive): G. Stanton: Declined markedly at 32. A Dunn: At 31. R Howard: At 32. C. Davis: At 30. G. Sanchez: At 27. M. Sano: At 27. P. Alvarez: At 30. J. Bell: At 30. L. Duda: At 32. C. Carter: At 30. J. Gallo: Outside of power, never really got good enough offensively to have been capable of declining markedly. To answer your question about trading people, yes, I'm all for it if that means building a core that will actually win in the future, more than one year in a row at a time. But they've been chasing that ghost since I've been following the Mets so maybe that will never happen.
