I'd go Choice "A" believe it or not.
But I underestimated the amount of power he generates from his legs. The velocity is down, and I guess it would make sense for there to be strain placed on his arm if he has to adjust to weaker leg power.

Think id actually go B. That 2015 team was so close and the Royals team had some lefties who wouldn't have liked Blevins.
All 3 options have merits.
zips just updated their projection for ROS and it was 78-84, so they see them as a slightly above .500 roster though that was with Diaz. without him id guess the projection trends closer to yours.

crappy injury but if it had to happen, it will give baty and vientos a chance to play ever day in big leagues.
2) Senga (who knows when he'll be back. Post All-Star Break perhaps?)
3) Diaz now (15 days)
4) & Drew Smith--no loss there lol (sometime in the next month or so I'm guessing).
Am I right? Anyone missing?
P.S. They need to do something with one of the backup catchers before Alvarez comes off the I.L.
*Now Pete looks hurt having been hit in the index finger of his right hand it looks like.
By the way, fuc@ the WBC....

1. believe dmm said alvarez starting a rehab assignment tomorrow? so he should be mid-June.
2. Senga is back at square one basically, so he is 4-6 weeks best case even with no other setbacks.
3. i would guess diaz is shut down for some amount of time (15 day IL to start likely means more than 1 week) so then probably needs at least a 2 week ramp/rehab. i doubt we see him again until he is in full form.
4. drew smith is back in rehab appearances, i think dmm said he'd originally had a set back.
pretty sure we are getting awfully close to a full on youth movement.

Yup. Tomorrow with Bing for Alvarez. Smith had a set back and restarted his rehab (made his first appearance on Sunday) for the Cyclones. We won't be seeing Senga or Diaz anytime soon.
He looks miserable and gives up on AB's which he never used to do.
1/3 of the way thru the season with 14 RBI's?
He picked a great year to win a batting title, that's for sure....
mcneil has shown very little this year and he has the partially torn elbow. im not sure anyone is going to be all that interested even if he's close to free.
marte has something in his bat still so there may be a team willing to take a flier but totally agree, mets have to pay almost all of his money (or maybe what they dont pay they eat in a contract the other team is looking to move).

and Marte both have negative value. Cohen would have to eat significant money to move either one. Not saying he won't but they are owed over 50 million AFTER 2024.

McNeil's reputation off the field is also not exactly that of a guy who is going to be cool being a part time player either. Not ideal for another team trading for a guy who looks awful right now. I don't think either one would be moved without Cohen eating big money.
Meant to write 76-86, not 74-88.
7 pitches over 95 just today.

David Peterson made his return from the IL today with a solid start against the Dodgers.
Peterson generated a good amount of chases and held the Dodgers to 2 ER. His stuff graded out about average, and his sinker limited damage.

David Fletcher -- yes, the infielder -- started tonight for Triple-A Gwinnett and pitched 5 innings of 3-hit ball with 2 runs, 1 walk, 6 Ks. Struck out Jackson Holiday among others. He features a knuckleball. They've used him to pitch a few times but this was his first start.

Jorge Lopez’s expletive-filled explanation of what happened with the 3B ump went a bit off the rails, he said the Mets are the “worst team” and he thinks he embarrassed them. He doesn’t regret tossing the glove.
No one should be off limits. Trade everyone.
I have nothing against Mendoza, but what a disaster.
good reminder why "you get what you pay for" is usually truism
good for lindor saying that the team meeting had nothing to do with lopez and losing that game had nothing to do with lopez. his comments re the meeting were interesting and seemed genuine.
big spotlight on stearns and mendoza to show something tangible beyond DFA'ing a reliever practically begging for his own release. in terms of clubhouse morale this feels like the lowest point of both rojas and mick the dick, minus the sexual harassment (hopefully). also a good reminder why a respected pro like buck was such a popular choice in the first place. something is rotten in there and they need to root it out.

Boddy Ojeda's hedge clipper has entered the room.
And what happened today won't be the last bizarre thing that happens this year, I think we all know that.
He has to show some kind of pulse that he can handle the clubhouse.
110 games to go is a lot of baseball.
Mendoza? Can't blame him for the ugly numbers the highest paid players are putting up, but you've got to wonder how long he lasts.
Buck is probably thanking his lucky stars he's not a part of this mess.
Meanwhile Cohen seems most interested in the issues he's having with building his casino and entertainment center....
And what happened today won't be the last bizarre thing that happens this year, I think we all know that.

he doesnt strike me as in over his head as callaway did at this point. i remember pretty clearly thinking very quickly that callaway was a mistake they needed to get rid of to the point of wanting terry collins back.
this feels more like luis rojas in august 2021, when ironically they got swept by the LAD with diaz blowing either 1 or 2 games. watching a wreck happening in slow motion with a manager frozen in time.
there's time for mendoza to save himself, all he has to do is find a way for this team to not continue shooting itself in the dick.
Lopez is another notch in the growing list of his piss poor signings. This team is also full of proven players that continue to be worse players. Get a hold of your team, David.

I'm pretty sure the answer yes with 1 caveat - what is the internal opinion of Callaway? Rhetorical question, unless you want to answer. His comments/behavior the last couple weeks may have cratered the entire clubhouse when it may have just been a down period due to injuries. If I had the opinion that he's a guy truly in over his head and not just a rookie manager making some mistakes, I'd seriously consider giving Collins a month before the deadline to see what happens.
This roster is highly highly flawed. But if they get to the halfway point of the season with a healthy Thor/JDG/Familia and Matz/Wheeler are still pitching well and they're within 3-4 games, this shithole roster would still have a better chance at a miracle run than most others this franchise has fielded this decade. And a better chance than the rosters in the future since I highly doubt they are signing a better closer this offseason and there are only so many years left with JDG/Thor together.
spoiler alert, the mets did only get 1 more season with jdg, thor, and wheeler together healthy, and it was with mickey callaway.

Somehow, I don't think so...

I'm pretty sure he has a hold of the team - keeping in mind he basically has been here for 6 months. You need to simmer down.
And why don't you mention Severino, Manaea? Two very good signings so far. Imagine where this team would be without them? Shudder.
Lopez and Wendle were nothing more than filler signings. Do I love that they didn't give Vientos a shot right away, sure - but he's here now, isn't he?
This team stinks right now because Diaz is back to being a headcase with physical maladies that may or may not exist. Their 5 or 6 highest paid players generally comparative to their contract value, and expectations altogether, have just all have sucked tremendously.
I put this entirely right now on the players - it's on them and put the metrics aside - really there's something going on off the field or that needs some shaman magic to resolve but I think it exists between the guys like Alonso/McNeil who came up here and the guys brought in on big deals. I think you are going to see McNeil and Alonso jettisoned but probably stuck with Lindor and Stearns has to find ways to quasi build a new core with him as part of it with Alvarez and other prospects.
i think they are in different situations but i do agree that there is probably some form of a rift along these lines.
this is just a theory to try to unify some of the weird problems across so many different leaderships since 2021, but i think there was a natural jealousy that probably emerged between homegrown players who werent paid (and all hired Boras) and guys cohen was bringing in and handing record deals to.
it is a natural human emotion to want "theirs" but the problem is many misjudged themselves. started with conforto who turned down a rumored 100m+ offer from mets. then played poorly in a contract year and ultimately got less. and now we have pete doing the same thing after 2+ years of rumored extension discussions he passed on.
mcneil actually took the reasonable extension off his batting title year, i think his problems are more wear/tear and maybe personality related. he seems to not handle struggling well.
i think nimmo and lindor were good extensions but created a false hope that everyone was going to get paid top dollar when that's just not realistic. and while both are comfortably all star level players neither has risen to the mvp level of a judge/soto. if alonso truly cared about winning as much as he says he would have quietly signed a deal along the lines of what olsen got. imo that in part is why braves are braves and mets are mets. they have chosen guys who care more about focusing on baseball without distractions even if it costs them a little $.
alonso/boras wanted to (and have) portrayed him as the met version of judge, but when it came time to do what judge did in his walk year he obviously hasnt done that.
he was referring to himself. that he looked like the worst teammate in mlb for getting himself thrown out.
what he said was honest and not wrong, sny did a shit job portraying it when he didnt have a translator with him and was clearly not communicating his thoughts the clearest.
