Numbers Assigned
Just as we suspected, the Mets this morning posted new uni numbers:
73 Robert Carson
75 Juerys Familia
48 Frank Francisco
53 Jeremy Heffner
52 Ramon Ramirez
60 Jon Rauch
Mike Nickeas switches from 13 to 4 and Ronny Cedeno takes 13
71 Wilmer Flores
74 Reese Havens
61 Jordanny Valdespin
76 Juan Lagares
67 Cesar Puello
56 Andres Torres
72 Kirk Nieuwenhuis
Non-roster Invitees with new assignments:
58 Fernando Cabrera
70 Matt Harvey
36 Chuck James
38 Garrett Olson
16 Rob Johnson
62 Lucas May
6 Omar Quintanilla
68 Matt den Decker
20 Adam Loewen
33 Vinny Rottino
Worth noting: Still no 17. 6 back in circulation again, and belonging to a scrub who's likely to see at least a few innings on the big league roster this year. Top prospects occupying the 70s.
Coaches Tom Goodwin, Tim Teufel, Bob Geren and Ricky Bones still have not received assignments, although its kind of interesting to see Ramirez and Heffner occupying traditional coaching numbers. More on this soon!
Matt den Dekker favors 17, so
Matt den Dekker favors 17, so his promotion will be a big test in that regard.
Flores, Havens and Nieuwenhuis all with 7* numbers. I wonder if it's a "race" to the big leagues for them to drop the second digit and just keep 7.
Good thought
Remember, we have a beer riding on that.
I guess it's still worth
I guess it's still worth pointing out that 8 remains on the shelf.
Backman seems to me to be absolutely the kind of guy who would try to read something into Quintanilla wearing number 6.
I don't think there's
I don't think there's anything to read into this except that Quintanilla wore #6 with Colorado.
Oh, I remember. I always
Oh, I remember. I always remember beer.
We got a couple of new coaches to ponder about too right?, although I don't imagine them taking controversial numbers.
what I meant was, Bones
what I meant was, Bones should really get 11. Snake Eyes. right? Tell Tejada to switch.
Are you kidding?
WTF is Matt den Dekker, and why should anyone care what number he favors?
Matt den Dekker is a
Matt den Dekker is a prospective player who is known to particularly favor 17. So if he's denied that assignment, one might reasonably understand that 17 has been taken out of circulation deliberately, not coincidentally.
"I don't think there's anything to read into this except that Quintanilla wore #6 with Colorado."
I don't either, but Wally might feel differently.
Teufel's gotta get 11!
Cute idea for Bones to have 11, but if any coach gets it, it's gotta be the Teufel Shuffle!
Just seeing all these names
Just seeing all these names in print reminds me thatt....Wow this team looks awful!!!!
Seriously?
Matt den Dekker hit .235 at Binghamton. Nobody who hits .235 in AA ball has a right to "favor" a particular number. He should be happy just to have a uniform. If the Mets don't give him 17, it means nothing.
Take it easy
You've got to take the hostility down a notch here, gored. I've asked you before. If you want to carry on aggressive arguments with other Mets fans there are plenty of other places to do that.
Sorry
Sorry it came across as hostility. I just meant to express my opinion that it's silly to take a player like den Dekker that seriously. Nothing personal against anyone here.
Backman has announced that he
Backman has announced that he is switching to #8 in Buffalo this year.
#7
One of the coaches down! New bench coach Bob Geren will wear Kevin Mitchell's old Mets number #7!
