Mets Count 2014

The all-time number of Mets players was 968 at the close of the 2013 season. We'll probably fall a little short of getting to 1,000 this year, but we're almost certain to get there sometime in 2015.

So what are the rules again?
|
| Benjamin Grimm Mar 31 2014 08:04 AM Re: Mets Count 2014 |
|
I think it should go by the lineup position, but I don't think that's universally accepted. My feeling is that they're officially in the game when they're announced, and the pregame announcements go in lineup order. Fielding a ground ball doesn't put a player "in the game".

With Young not in the lineup, looks like that debate will be moot for now. I think it's been [crossout:2k9njvhr]a while[/crossout:2k9njvhr] since there was only one new Met debut in the starting lineup of a new season.

| Benjamin Grimm Mar 31 2014 08:26 AM Re: Mets Count 2014 |

Actually, not that long at all. The last time there was only one new Met making his Opening Day debut in the starting lineup was 2012, with Andres Torres. In 2009, there was nobody!

If the Mets are at home, and therefore opening on defense, their appearance is in order of the defensive numbers.

971 = John Lannan

972 = Chris Young (or at least I heard rumors of him being in the game. I don't think I actually witnessed it)

We're actually at 974; you forgot Bartolo Colon.

D'oh Next Thursday then. #972 - Bartolo Colon #973 - Chris Young #974 - Kyle Farnsworth

Is Seņor Wall-Repellent #975?

I believe he is.

#976, Eric Campbell.

we're getting really close to Mets 1000. Nimmo?
|
| Edgy MD May 15 2014 07:56 AM Re: Mets Count 2014 |

Met Count Central is predicting Binghamton righthander Cody Satterwhite, currently burning up the Eastern League with a 0.89 ERA in 20 1/3 innings.

Figure on another handful this season, including September callups. That brings us to 985 or so. Add another handful in the offseason, and we'll probably hit 1000 some time late next season, probably with someone we claim off waivers in September for the playoff drive.
|
| G-Fafif May 16 2014 09:44 AM Re: Mets Count 2014 |
|
14 Mets made debuts from this date forward in 2013, 12 from this date forward in 2012, 8 from this date forward in 2011. Predicting Mr. 1,000 makes himself known to us no later than trade deadline 2015, probably before All-Star break.
|
| Benjamin Grimm May 16 2014 09:54 AM Re: Mets Count 2014 |
|
He'll probably be some barely-hanging-on veteran. My guess is that number 1000 will be a 39-year-old relief pitcher.

You must be thinking of Met #979, Buddy Carlyle, debuting today, May 31, 2014.
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket May 31 2014 07:15 PM Re: Mets Count 2014 |
|
They say Dana Eveland is on the way? Maybe Buddy is back down?
|
| Edgy MD May 31 2014 08:27 PM Re: Mets Count 2014 |
|
That may be the best, if the cruelest, way to go. I was thinking they might stuff deGrom back down for a spin.

980. Dana Eveland
|
| Edgy MD Jun 02 2014 08:50 PM Re: Mets Count 2014 |

In light of the two weekend promotions, Met Count Central is now projecting Bronx-born Binghamton righthander Jonathan Velasquez as the future [crossout:38q964rv]Met2K[/crossout:38q964rv] Met1K. Jonathan is currently 3-2 with a 3.52 in 23 innings over 19 games for the B-Mets. He has struck out 22 and walked only four, for a 0.91 WHIP that'll play anywhere.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Jun 03 2014 05:00 AM Re: Mets Count 2014 |
|
If he's gonna be the 2000th Met, then there's going to be a lot of churn over the next year or two.
|
| Edgy MD Jun 03 2014 05:07 AM Re: Mets Count 2014 |
|
Yoops.
|
| seawolf17 Jun 03 2014 05:47 AM Re: Mets Count 2014 |
|
I'd be way more impressed if Met Count Central accurately predicted as Mr. 1K a minor leaguer in someone ELSE'S system who we're going to pick up in trade (or sign as a minor-league FA) between now and 1000.
|
| Edgy MD Jun 03 2014 05:54 AM Re: Mets Count 2014 |

The chance of being correct is unlikely enough as it is.

#980 = Dana Eveland

Did they pronounce it the German way, with the invisible R?

Tip your hats to Met #984, Dario Alvarez.
