Around SBN: Jeremy Lin Sets Assist High In Easy Win Over Sacramento

Kevin Goldstein ranks the top 20 RHP prospects

Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus ranked the top 20 right handed pitchers in today's article.

The Mets placed three pitchers on the list.

Star-divide

Mike Pelfrey came in at #7, Phil Humber ranked 14th, and Deoilis Guerra ranked 19th.

Good news for the Mets faithful.

Goldstein also mentioned that Pelfrey and Humber should compete for 07 rotation slots.

Imagine a rotation of Pedro, Pelfrey, Humber, Perez and Bannister.

4 young guns and Pedro.

Maine, not Bannister
Bannister hasn't impressed me, Maine has.  Pedro, Pelfrey, Humber, Maine, Perez.  That would be cool.
John Maine for Cy Young!

that would be hot,
but I think it's a better 2008 rotation than 2007.  Humber and Pelfrey might still be a year away from being productive in the majors, and rushing them might do more harm than good.  I'd like to have at least one of Glavine, Trachsel, and El Duque (preferably Glavine), or a new hired gun, in the rotation next year to solidify things.

I agree with that, and
I'd like to see Glavine back next year. I think Pelfrey will be ready by next year, but I'm reserving judgment until after spring training. If he's ready, yeah, a rotation of Pedro, Glavine, Maine, Perez and Pelfrey would be awesome.

I have resigned myself
to the fact that Glavine is gone after this year.

Hahah
Ten extra points to you for witty and apropos historical reference!

Just don't forget Poland, too.

Has been called up.

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. 

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.
