Mets hire Bob Melvin as a Scout
The list of internal Manuel-replacement candidates grows.
The New York Mets today announced that Mookie Wilson has returned to the organization as the team’s minor-league outfield and base running coordinator. Wilson, a former Mets player, coach and minor league manager, was last with the club in 2005 as the manager of the Brooklyn Cyclones (A) of the New York-Penn League.
"It’s good to be back," said Wilson, 53, who makes his home in Eastover, S.C. "This is where I started and I’m anxious to do whatever I can for the young kids in our system."
Felipé Lopez anyone???
"Lopez ranked fourth among all free agents with a 4.6 WAR in 2009, but Boras has been unable to drum up a market for the second baseman. Now, matching last year's $3.5MM will be tough enough. Odds are Lopez won't sniff the contracts signed by Placido Polanco, Mark DeRosa, and Orlando Hudson, and he might not reach the $4.5MM level of Garrett Atkins and Pedro Feliz." - MLBtraderumors.com
If Lopez can be convinced to sign a one year deal for around $2.5mil with incentives worth around $1mil, is there anyone (except Omar Minaya and Jeff Wilpon) who will not take him on? It will be a killer when Castillo lets another 50 or more ball trickle through the infield like last season.
With Reyes back, and hopefully fully fit, it makes a lot of sense to sign a guy with Lopez's ability and 4.0 WAR. This is probably why we won't!

Super Bowl Coverage @ SB Nation

It's Super Bowl Sunday and SB Nation has you covered from a killer guac recipe to this sweet retro graphic.

There's plenty of great Super Bowl coverage around the network, so here's a quick rundown of what we have going on.
SB Nation Colts blogger, BigBlueShoe from Stampede Blue, was credentialed by the NFL and has been on the ground in Miami for the media days providing incredible coverage and interviews from a Colts fan perspective. He has setup a special section on his blog that gathers all his reports together:
http://www.stampedeblue.com/section/stampede-blue-at-super-bowl
SB Nation Saints blogger, Saintsational at Canal Street Chronicles, was also credentialed by the NFL and just landed in Miami to cover the Super Bowl for the Who Dat Nation. Check out his coverage:
For you stat heads, mgrex03 on Stampede Blue has a stats preview series:
I: http://www.stampedeblue.com/2010/2/2/1288192/super-bowl-statistical-preview
II: http://www.stampedeblue.com/2010/2/4/1291893/super-bowl-statistical-preview
III: http://www.stampedeblue.com/2010/2/7/1299171/super-bowl-statistical-previewBigBlueShoe got a really interesting interview with Peter King including some back-and-forth about sports blogs:
Part I: http://www.stampedeblue.com/2010/2/5/1296896/stampede-blue-has-a-beer-with
Part II: http://www.stampedeblue.com/2010/2/5/1297717/stampede-blue-has-a-beer-withWe also have Joel Thorman from Arrowhead Pride credentialed at the Super Bowl and covering it for SBNation.com. This is an excellent single big PREVIEW link that pulls everything together:
http://www.sbnation.com/2010/2/1/1287184/super-bowl-colts-saints-coverage
Go, football team(s)!
3:55pm: SBNation.com has a network-wide gamethread going for the Super Bowl. Will it unite fans from across all teams and all sports to amicably discuss the biggest entertainment event of the year? Or will it be an utter sh*tshow of unrivaled size and scope? In either case, probably awesome.11 comments | 0 recs
Updating the 'Diamonds in the Rough'

You may remember the Diamonds in the Rough piece last fall where we looked at potential 'under the radar steals of typically cheap, young pitchers that for whatever reason become available.' Just wanted to update a couple of interesting turns with a few of them:

Mariners Re-Sign Erik Bedard, 1 Year/$1.5 Million Dollars
Pending a successful physical (in Seattle, they do those!), the Mariners will have supposedly re-signed Erik Bedard to an incentive-laden 1 year contract, with a base of $1.5 million dollars, with incentives bringing it up to $7 million dollars. According to most reports, Bedard is not going to be able to pitch until late June or early July.
Bedard is one of a few injured pitchers who the Mets should have gone after harder, in my opinion. If push came to shove, I think we could have outbid the Mariners, especially with such a small guaranteed sum (that is, if he was willing to come here, which we can only speculate about, really). He's likely only to be able to pitch anywhere between 12-15 games down the stretch, after coming back to the mound, but, following his career numbers, he'd likely be worth 1.5-2 WAR during that stretch. When he's "on", he can pitch to the tune of a 3.19 FIP; when he's not, it's about 3.90 (research care of Lookout Landing's Jeff Sullivan). As we all know, our "collapsing" problems have come primarily down the stretch. Given the health concerns of John Maine, and Oliver Perez being Oliver Perez, I'd think that having a fresh and rested Bedard, who will likely contribute the above numbers, would be a very positive thing.
When he becomes active, he gives Seattle a very potentially dangerous 1-2-3 pitching combination, in King Felix-Lee-Bedard. Some poor team could face three genuine and certified "ace" pitchers in a series.
