Mets Community Prospect List: #4

With 56% of the vote, the winner of round three is: Brad Holt

Welcome to the Amazin' Avenue Mets Community Prospect List, where you get to vote on who the Mets best prospects are.  Every poll will include eight candidates for the next spot on the list, as well as a separate group of testers.  Testers will be rotated into polls with each update, replacing each poll's winner and any name that's not getting enough votes.  For this poll, if someone is getting 0% of the votes I will consider swapping them out for a tester, assuming the votes seem to be getting a bit more spread around.  If there's a particular tester you'd like to see added to the poll, or a name not on the testers list that you feel belongs there, voice your support in the comments section and it will be duly noted.

The list so far:

  1. Fernando Martinez
  2. Jenrry Meija
  3. Brad Holt

To replace Brad Holt, Kirk Nieuwenhuis has been added to the candidates.  Since only four candidates received votes in the previous poll, this will be the only tester added in this round.  In no particular order, here are the candidates for the Community's #4 Mets prospect:

Testers -  Dillon Gee, Scott Moviel, Robert Carson, Jeurys Familia, Kyle Allen, Eddie Kunz, Brant Rustich, Francisco Pena, Eric Beaulac

Done

I pretty much flipped a coin between he and Nieuwenhuis, neither of them are getting #4 so it shouldn’t make a difference.

I think after this, it gets interesting.

Niese will probably win #5, but again, there are cases to be made for Havens, Thole, Tejada, and Marte as well.

Well, it seems it has been settled for #4.

Introducing Buddy Alderson, Sandy's dog, and the newest member of Puppy Avenue!

Embiggen here.
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.
