Different coaches and medical yet same injury issues so far. Swarzak, Cespedes join the other 10 guys w injuries.
And pitching looks like it has A LOT of work to do already. This zen master Callaway is either going to back his talk w an epic career or become a complete joke in 2 years.
Neither are eligible.
And Nimmo off the Wall rbi double
Plaw. Nuff said. Double off the wall
"Fortunately, I feel better about my knee," Rosario said though an interpreter. "Maybe I was trying to take care of my knee so much that I felt something sore in my groin area."

Initially when Rosario departed Saturday's game, the Mets called his issue knee weakness. The groin issue did not arise until about two days later, Rosario said, preventing him from holding to his original plan of returning to the lineup Tuesday. The shortstop continues to call himself "day to day," noting that "in a couple of days I will be back for sure."
I'm not even mad anymore, I'm really just impressed!
It doesn't sound serious, but.. well, with the Mets, I can never say that with true confidence

Noah Syndergaard struck out the side -- Trea Turner, Bryce Harper and Anthony Rendon -- in the third inning Thursday, highlighting 3.1 shutout innings against the Nationals. His spring ERA dropped to a cool 1.08. #Mets
stop ignoring my thompson questions.
And the field
Was a low-risk move to begin, but I agree that Bruce @ 1B and Nimmo getting regular PT is probably the best option.
Safe. But ump gave him the call - he earned it

who is this Guillermo? Is it Guillorme on auto-correct?
LOL, I wasn't being picky, seriously wondering who Guillermo was.

Spring training win/loss record may not mean everything but...man...it sure aint a good omen being dead last in the league after 14 games.
Very inspiring. Good to see Plawecki doing well though! Personally, I hope he puts TDA out to pasture.

Its Thor, so you mean 163-0
Im sick of the hype. How bouts getting in 25-30 starts first
But I cant remeenr the last spring training the Mets were actually good to be honest.

I mean he's already done it before.

2015, ironically. 2008 they had a good spring training record as well. Every other year down to 2006 they were mostly a .500 team or less. Sounds about right if you correlate to regular season production.
Thor is so beyond special, its ridiculous. Someone mentioned none of his games have been televised, which is an absolute shame. Even some highlights would be nice for Mets fans to see. His growth this spring has been absurd.
Other than him and Nimmo, it isnt exactly an exciting spring. Not Uber prospects to watch. The three young guys to watch havent played much (Conforto, Dom and Rosario). The lack of rules, refreshing yet concerns me. Thats the negatives - which lets be honest, wed all sign up for that negative news. Its a real boring team with some incredible SP talent to drool over. I like pitching, speed and defense. One out of three aint bad.
The positives. A very professional, workmanlike spring. A ton of learning and growing. Kids are getting a chance to play. A lot of optimism from day one. The team is really enjoying the below the radar afterthought, that they know can cause some damage if everything falls the right way.
One year $6.5 million with a 2nd year mutual option for $15 million.
Still would have been too rich for the Mets. Lol, gotta laugh.
80% tho
Guys like Stephen Drew and Jason Varitek.
Mets could have used Moustakas, but he's not their biggest need right now and would have cost their 2nd round pick.
Who cares that the team would have given up a post second round pick. Moose is by far the most underpaid player in baseball (non rookie deal of course) and its just a 1/2 year deal. Short and cheap. Thats insane. Who here wouldnt trade noodle armed Frazier for him 100/100 times?

Obviously pre-Frazier it made a lot more sense, but you need to have a better backup plan to not sign Frazier and wait out Moose.
Can't fault Sandy on this one. At least I can't, some people will.
It talk about an offseason of reading the market and playing it well. Royals arent done yet, but for a whopping $13mm theyve signed John Jay, Lucas Duda and Moose. Short term and cheap. No stars, but three serviceable major league players for short term, dirt cheap deals. For literally one of the three years of Bruces deal. For a little bit more money than Ramos will cost that is a MAGNIFICENT offseason.
That one I do fault Sandy for, as sellers the Mets should not have "bought" Ramos for anything close to as valuable as Merandy. Even if Merandy becomes a total bust.
Put it this way. Both free agents. And Swarz, a crappy career bullpen arm with a few good months signs for si liar money as Moose did. And everyday, quality player at a tough position. Crazy, yes. But thats what the market is overpaying for right now.
and some players simply don't settle (see Stephen Drew), when did he sign?
Mid-May?
I wasn't bothered that the Mets traded Merandy Gonzalez (their likely top 5 prospect this year) for a reliever who had closing experience and the extra year normally would be a plus, I was bothered it was for Ramos who has been a shitty pitcher (mostly) for almost 2 years. He had 1 good year.
