Stupid Poll One: the McGraw Spot

Who gets the mantle?
A Memorial Roster Slot should be like a university chair, and be retained as long as the person is on staff. This is not a question. 3 votes
Wagner retains the mantle on merit, not on rules. 3 votes
Sanchez is goofier. Give him the chair. 3 votes
I don't know either of these guys yet. The position should go to somebody who has established his goofiness in a Met uniform. 1 votes
I don't know either of these guys yet. The position should go to nobody until I do. 5 votes
Can we not have two guys share the role? What woul we have done in the Cook/Wendell era? 1 votes

The Tug McGraw Memorial Goofy Reliever Roster Slot currently belongs to Billy Wagner? Should he be forced to yield it to Duaner Sanchez?

If you want to give one out now, Sanchez' haircut/goggles ensemble says it all.

But I'd also be OK waiting for deeds and actions to determine the true TMMGR.

On what are we basing Sanchez's goofiness? His goggles? Gonna need a lot more than that, folks. I was going to vote "university chair," but since that spot is vacant now, it stays vacant until we know these guys.

I voted for Sanchez but leaving it vacant is also ok. Wagner just doesn't seem goofy to me.

I voted for vacant. A chair should remain vacant unless someone is truly deserving.

'tis a pity Mr. Koo is gone, I'll vote vacant , I have to see these guys in action first.

There is no option for "Wagner deserves it more?" Oh well. I think he does. They guy owns llamas for goodness sakes. There arent many things goofier than llamas.

That would be option two.

I voted for 1.
The last choice should not be an option - only one person should occupy a slot.

But if the Mets have two pitchers deserving of the "goofy" mantle, this could be a fun year.

Later

Ah. I thought by merit that just meant "decide by who's the better player". Option 2 it is then

I'm feeling pretty dumb because in the blizzard of personnel transactions that the Mets have conducted this winter, I've become completely lost.

Who the hell is Sanchez?!?!?!

[url-http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/team/player.jsp?player_id=400093]Duaner Sanchez[/url], the primary player acquired from LA for Jae Weong Seo.

Google hits for "Duaner Sanchez" + "goofy" = 192

Google hits for "Billy Wagner" + "goofy" = 522

Well that's not much in the way of scientific evidence, that's because Wagner is so much more well known.

Voting all over the board on this one.

Especially considering the esearch for "Tug McGraw" + "goofy" = only 328 hits. And the chair is named for him.

Yeah, I think that's pretty evident.

Also, 'cause probably every town has a goofy kid named Billy Wagner.

Didnt know there was such a slot, but
I love this kinda stuff you have here at the CPF.

I say vacant until someone brings the goof.
