Old Mets strength and conditioning coach Rick Slate: New Mets strength and conditioning coach Brad Andress: Everbody, get Andressed!

An x-college football player who was a strength trainer throughout the 1990s and 00s. That'll show the folks out there the Mets are against PED use.

Speaking of doctors, I was goofing off on Twitter the other night and shot Jim Duquette a message. He said soething about his opinion on Vald to Baltimore and I asked why he passed him over in a soft market in 04. I didn't realize he replied to me till just now: Jim_Duquette Jim Duquette @ @Springer66 - the same doctor that said Kazmir would blow out said Vlad's back wouldn't hold up. 0 for 3. Overlooked VZ injury too.

Old Mets strength and conditioning coach Rick Slate: New Mets strength and conditioning coach Brad Andress: Everbody, get Andressed! He looks like a former Met, not coming to me though. Good quote from Duke....

Eh, it's easy to blame the doctor. I was hoping he was going to savage the Wilpons for taping the piggybank shut so as to raise $$ to buy out the Cablevision contract.

Donnie fucking Wall, how did I forget him? Good call Wolf.

Too bad Kurt Russell did'nt take out the "Duke of NY" before he got here.

Valadius Feb 08 2011 10:23 AM Re: Clearing the Slate

What's his record with player injuries?

metirish Feb 08 2011 10:37 AM Re: Clearing the Slate

Not trying to defend Jim Duquette but he was considered a good baseball person before that trade.

Speaking of trainers, I saw an HBO piece last week on the health of football players in their post-careers and it largely featured interviews and comments by Mackie Shilstone.

Speaking of x-football players (and injury treatments) x-Jets QB and SNY host Ray Lucas has checked into rehab for addiction to painkillers.

Edgy DC Feb 08 2011 10:54 AM Re: Clearing the Slate

In defense of Brad Andress, he's taken a lead professionalizing the profession, with disgust toward Brian McNamee and his brand of interlopers who have sullied the reputations of all. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/s ... id=3159523 Or, looked at differently, he's taken the lead in building a facade of professionalism into the profession, so to better shield miscreants.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Feb 08 2011 11:02 AM Re: Clearing the Slate

Yeah, I guess I was unfair. I also should never doubt that if a profession exists a trade group for them also exists: [url]http://www.pbsccs.com/ So has Donne Wall signed your card yet? I was weirded out to see that card indicate partial season results already.

seawolf17 Feb 08 2011 11:10 AM Re: Clearing the Slate

Haven't sent it yet; only got his address the other day. I'm so close to 700 autographs I can taste it. That's a 2001 Topps Traded card (T80), hence the updated text but no updated stats.
