Szymborski: “ZiPS suggests an eight-year, $57 million contract to buy out two years of free agency, and I think given the upside, you can certainly go higher than that.”

Would jump at that chance if I was Elias/ Rubenstein.

Missed 14 bats today..struck out 7 and had a 65% str%.
 

Jones missed 21(!) bats today.  1/3 of his strikes were missed bats.  That kid has some great stuff.

Just saw that he missed 22 bats in his last (first career) start.

Who is Jones?

He was super impressive.  

Grayson did really well not have his A game.  He leans on his CU and it wasn't working today.

I thought Bradish had a Wyatt Earp vibe.

Wow, you're right. I had not seen him at all this year in any photos, etc. But here he is in February tossing some in FL. Weird, though, all last year is was the look of a guy who isn't quite ready to shave yet. 

But I do think he and Caleb Landry Jones have a striking resemblance. Seems he often plays a scuzzy character like in "Get Out", "Twin Peaks" Season 3 and other dramas and it made me chuckle as Bradish seems a good kid by comparison.

Based on Grayson later call up last year and being optioned in the first half, would he still be eligible for ROY status this year?

No, the rookie threshold for pitchers is 50 IP or 45 days on the MLB roster, so Grayson surpassed both.

    • There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.
    • I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.  
    • It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.
    • The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.  
    • This.  I grew up in Northern VA and it always took 1 hour to drive to Memorial or Camden no matter the time of day.  It was always easy to find parking as well.  Now that same drive takes 2-3 hours, and finding good parking is a pain.  Plus, the cost of parking, tickets, food/drinks, souvenirs has skyrocketed.  So the choice is to sit in traffic, fight for parking, pay tons of money for the hassle...or sit on my comfortable couch and watch the game on a huge HD screen for free...
    • Unfortunately it doesn’t sound like anything will be done before next year. The speakers at the park are an embarrassment.  
    • If they keep Ryan they can still get Mayo 350+ at bats. He can be full time DH vs LHP and play some at 1st and 3rd here and there.
