THE SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016 PLAYER OF THE YEAR The Schaefer Mets Player of the Year for 2016 is first-time winner YOENIS CESPEDES.

This year, since all votes were stored in database tables, we're able to award our first "perfect participation" awards. There were four forum members who voted in every game, and as a result G-Fafif, TMF, Benjamin Grimm, and OhSheaCanKC will all receive a virtual copy of this lovely button: Wear it with virtual pride! (Also, we'll be sending a virtual box of Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco Treat, to Ashie62, to thank him for almost achieving this honor. He voted in 160 of the 162 games!) Honorable mention to Johnny and TransMonk (138 games each), Zvon (95 games) and LWFS (62 games).

Another year, another great job. Kudos for the hard work you put into this. Later

Benjamin Grimm Oct 13 2016 09:12 AM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

Thank you, but it really wasn't such hard work. (If it was hard, I wouldn't do it!) But that reminds me that I meant to say that the new system that was introduced this year made things much easier than they were before. Instead of spending a few minutes per day I'm now spending a few minutes per month. As a result, I'm officially announcing that Schaefer will resume in 2017 for its 13th season!

Centerfield Oct 13 2016 09:23 AM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

Yeah, this is just terrific work. I'm amazed that you are able to do this year after year. Thanks BG. I promise to vote more next year. Love the Cespedes card. The look on his face makes it seem like he knows he just won player of the year. As to the results themselves, no surprise on the winners. A little surprised that Granderson is as high as he is, but I think this is a testament to his durability. Seriously? Rice-a-Roni? A reference to San Francisco? I suspect someone in marketing is going to lose their job over this gaffe. Not cool Stockholm. Not cool.

Yoenis Céspedes, Player of the Year while never winning Player of the Month. If game 163 counted, Syndergaard would have taken it.

d'Kong76 Oct 13 2016 09:50 AM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

Congrats to the players and thanks to Ben for running it year after year. Loved the new voting format, made it easier to catch up when I regularly fell a dozen games behind all season.

I also wanted to take a moment to thank all of our wonderful Schaefer spokesmodels who did such a great job throughout the year. They'll all be back in 2017, along with a few new friends. Let's give them a big hand!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 13 2016 10:36 AM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

My favorite is the Octopus Fighter, followed by Backpack Girl

Edgy MD Oct 13 2016 10:45 AM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

Octopus Fighter looks like Matt Harvey. Backpack Girl looks like Backpack Girl.

Frayed Knot Oct 13 2016 11:35 AM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

I was going to say that all of those folks need names, or titles, or at least nicknames of some sort. I mean some already have names, Casey is Casey and Paul Schefer is easily identifiable and I'm not suggesting that we give Henry VIII or Boticelli's Venus new monikers here. But I think if these folks are going to be spokes-folks for an important CPF project then they should be known as something other than 'Octopus Fighter' or 'Girl with Flower in Hair'. So I think suggestions are in order here although our beloved Backpack Girl will forever be known as Backpack Girl and I'll fight anyone who tries to say otherwise.

Centerfield Oct 13 2016 12:03 PM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

I think the Indian Girl kinda looks like Selma Hayek. I propose "Indian Selma Hayek". On Edit: The last one is Bette Davis no?

Benjamin Grimm Oct 13 2016 12:07 PM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

I think she's just an unidentified flapper. The girl with the flower (in black and white) is Lillian Gish.

d'Kong76 Oct 13 2016 12:16 PM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

Ostrich could be called Armando Reyes Fan.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 13 2016 12:24 PM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

I'm not sure if that's an ostrich or an emu. We may need to summon an expert on ratites.

Zvon Oct 13 2016 12:31 PM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

Love the GREAT WALL OF CARDS. You're like me, more stuck in the 70s than any other decade. Not a bad place to be. Fav banner: WARNING! DANGER APPROACHING!WARNING!WILL ROBINSON! So even Grandy beat Cabrera. That's interesting. And this is one of the better reflections of NY player performance out there. Maybe THE best. Great job as always Grimm.

Edgy MD Oct 13 2016 12:38 PM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

Grandy was healthy for 162.

I think there is something magical about that time in a boy's life. My idea of "baseball cards" look like Topps cards from 83-87. (ages 8-12).

The years that I'm most nostalgic for are 1971 through 1973, when my age ranged from eight to ten. Same here, 70 to 77, when Seaver moved on, I decided to grow up. And then Mookie (around '80) came up and I was tempted to get in touch with my inner child. But that wasn't enough. Strawberry had me at least grabbing a few packs in 84 (I wasn't aware of traded sets until around 1986). When Doc came up in 84 I dived backward into my childhood and went crazy collecting his cards. And then all the Mets. That reignited my collecting bug. I didn't hurt that the Mets were fielding a great team those years. That dimmed thru the '90s as the hobby became a bit of a circus (now it's WAAAAAAAY beyond that). And then with Matt Harvey in 2013,..it was like with Doc in 1985. Then all these new pitchers coming up that were showing so much promise, I had to try and get those rookie cards. I didn't go crazy. A blister here, a blister there. I've done good as far as regular issue cards go. Don't care much for the more recent fancy stuff (parallels and relics and whatnot). If I get one great, if I don't, I don't. As far as Mets go, I usually don't. But when I do it's a kool rush. I'm to the point I think I'll start to ween myself off the hobby again. I don't like that it's marketed towards older folks like you & I w/$$ to burn instead of kids (well, rich kids can get into it). Topps don't give a shit. They are laughing all the way to the bank. For now. When the children of today grow up Topps will have to shift gears. They won't be buying baseball cards. I see creepy clown cards in the future.

Trading cards in general, I think. Before baseball cards (age 9,10,11) I collected Rat Patrol, Outer Limits, Man From Uncle cards, and those Batman cards that were all paintings. I also had some kind of Monster cards. Not the TV show. Movie Monsters? I vaguely remember these. I'll have to do a google.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 13 2016 02:00 PM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

I remember I had Planet of the Apes cards! I think they were based on the short-lived TV series.

I see the movie cards at the flea market every so often.

Same actress in a different role, though. Simonetta Vespucci.

I looked it up. (It's amazing what you can do these days.) It's Constance Bennett, a movie star from the 1920s and 30s.

Zvon Oct 13 2016 02:39 PM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

Ha, they must have been these: I don't recall them being funny at all but then I thought the '66 Batman TV show was like the most serious and dramatic show EVER! I was eight. An Outer Limits cards. If you can name who is behind the make-up you win a bonus card. The guy is still working. He's currently on a TV show that uses in initials for a title(ha, like half of em do these days).

She's ferocious, and she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush. All the boys think she's a spy. She's got Bette Davis eyes.

I started collecting baseball cards in 1961, when I found about 50 out them on the sidewalk. I took it as a sign and collected seriously through the 60s. I still kept buying a few packs each year, and picked up representatives of Tools from every year they were made (except for 1951 blue backs, which were too expensive). I stopped after 1994. I don't care for modern cards; the glossy backs are just plain wrong.

Congratulations Yo, Noah, Jeurys and KelJo. You, too, Grimm. Thank you for breathing new life into an old classic. As they say in Chicago, it was a pleasure voting 162 times.

The "new life" appears to have been successful. There was a chance that it would cause a decline in participation, but that didn't happen. We seem to have had an increase that was sustained until about the last month of the season, when the Mets started playing well and voters, apparently, stopped paying attention! Either way, I'm satisfied that this will be worthwhile continuing into 2017. I believe I kept up. Its a matter of pride. You missed two games: May 23 and July 28. Next year I am giving 6 points only to the player who did us the most good, as in the PLAYER of the game. I'm not sure what that means. Are you saying that for each and every game you're going to give 6 points to one player and none to anybody else? If that's your plan I'll have to ask you to please not do that. It's not in the spirit of Schaefer and, with so few voters, would abnormally skew the results. I'm afraid I'd have to treat such votes as extreme outliers and discard them, and I really don't want to have to do that.

d'Kong76 Oct 14 2016 08:46 AM Re: SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR, 2016

I agree, 6's are for special game performances like a one hitter through eight or three homers or six RBI or something.

Next year I am giving 6 points only to the player who did us the most good, as in the PLAYER of the game. I'm not sure what that means. Are you saying that for each and every game you're going to give 6 points to one player and none to anybody else? If that's your plan I'll have to ask you to please not do that. It's not in the spirit of Schaefer and, with so few voters, would abnormally skew the results. I'm afraid I'd have to treat such votes as extreme outliers and discard them, and I really don't want to have to do that. No sweat. I will spead it out.

I can't recall the last time I put out a 6. Santana? I'm not adverse to it, it's just that you really have to work to get a 6 from me. A pitcher goes 82/3 of shutout ball.... 5.9999 If he K's 10 or more (for 82/3) he might get that 6. Batters really got it rough. I always try to give a reliever something. Pinch hitters as well, if they do their job. The PH had one job. If he gets a hit he gets a full point from me usually. See, I'm a difficult dick, but I'm a considerate dick.

This chart shows who awarded 6 points in a game during the 2016 season. The last column indicates the actual number of points that the player ended up getting for that game. So I did it twice, once for Syndergaard in May and once for deGrom in July.

I have to go back and look, but I think I threw a little extra suds on Gs'man for 9/25 for some added-appreciation sentiment or such.
