No Carlos Alvarez?
I wonder if the Mets have forgotten about Elvin Ramirez...
I was thinking the same thing.....I bet they will have to trade cash or something for him once he proves he is fit...recall this happened a few year back with a kid from the Reds....I got his autograph at Spring Training and sat with him at lunch once...oh hell I will look it up....Terrell Young...
I am think I will burn some miles this fall and catch a some games.....FL Nat...you out there...any thoughts on best weekend to do this? I will buy you a beer.....
Anybody know the condition of McGeary? I know that he is getting over TJ, but has he appeared in any minor league games, or is this his first real action?
Go Italy!
Wow what a roster! Years ago it used to be the outcasts who were looking for a position change or rehab guys ad now it is some of re brightest prospects we have!!!!
Now this is different than the Arizona Fall League, correct? Are the dates of the two different as well?
