In one of the all-time great exercises in futility, I batted .120 when guessing numbers in the 2012 Roster Thread. And that was only after a really strong finish. Player New Number I Had Fernando Cabrera  58 53 Robert Carson  73 50 Ronny Cedeno 13 4 Matt den Decker  68 16 Juerys Familia  75 46 Wilmer Flores  71 1 Frank Francisco  48 50 Matt Harvey  70 49 Reese Havens  74 12 Jeremy Heffner  53 47 Chuck James  36 44 Rob Johnson  16 33 Juan Lagares  76 13 Adam Loewen  20 39 Lucas May  62 22 Mike Nickeas 4 13 Kirk Nieuwenhuis 72 -- Garrett Olson  38 33 Cesar Puello  67 22 Omar Quintanilla  6 6 Ramon Ramirez  52 52 Jon Rauch 60 60 Vinny Rottino 33 44 Andres Torres  56 56 Jordanny Valdespin  61 62

Bob Geren listed on the roster as #7.

That would be ripping off the Band-Aid brand bandage in one quick pull. But the "coaches" section on the mets.com roster now has a blank next to Geren. Perhaps he'll go with something not as Geren but more Generic.

Mike Nickeas as a 4 is going to take some getting used to.

No hesitation, says an MBTN-uncrediting Adam Rubin. Geren in 7. Sort of tacky, sort of not. More than not. He's a coach.

I was thinking they'd maybe reclaim it by bringing in Ed Kranepool or Hubie Brooks or Jeff McKnight as a spring training guest instructor.

I say, use the number right away! Rip off the band-aid! And issue number 24 as well. It's long past time to do that!

7 on a coach is almost a compromise, the more I think about it. Kind of hiding it in plain sight.
