I had high hopes for him. Hopefully he'll do well in Baltimore (unless the Orioles face the Mets at some point).

Memories of Gabriel Ynoa

Organaization tries to simultaneously wiggle out of roster pinch and payroll pinch, dealing off short-time Met and current #7 or #8 starter to the Orioles for Norm Ca$h.

This to make room for Salas, I assume?

That's certainly the short-term benefit.

Took the ball and started down the stretch when needed. Surely wasn't in the gameplan.

And probably the motivation, too. I doubt that the Mets felt that they needed the cash more than the player.

Well, they certainly need the roster spot, but there is a reported payroll crunch due to the inability to deal off Bruce or Granderson before signing Salas and Blevvy. A lot of articles the last two days have reported that Lagares is being shopped again. If this deal not only gets them a roster spot, but helps save Laggy's skin, then well played.

I thought the Mets thought well of Ynoa. I don't like dealing SP's at the point.

Starting pitcher in highest combined uni number starting lineup ever vs. Minnesota last Sept. Offhand I think he's the only 63 in club history.

Yeah, I feel like he could be good too.

We've been trying to forget for years.

It'll be really interesting if Ynoa and Logan Verrett both manage to crack the Baltimore rotation after both being acquired for cash from the Mets this winter.

That photo makes it look like he has a big ugly penis.

Someone must have had fun analyzing your Rorschach Test results. Later

I liked Ynoa. He was serviceable.
|
| Edgy MD Feb 11 2017 04:52 AM Re: Memories of Gabriel Ynoa |

Looks like a game where he's being yanked. And if it's one of his two starts, then he's being yanked before going five.

It would be nice if Sandy traded for a player that could possibly help in the future rather than cash but he knows better.

I always got the impression Ynoa was a considered a fringe-MLB pitcher even if all went right, not that that's anything to sneeze at, but you really gotta consider this a "trade" of him for 1 year of Salas, since they're taking one another's places on the club.

Ynoa replaces former Mets wunderkind catcher Francisco Pena on the O's roster. Pena is "only" 27 and found his way into 23 MLB games with the Royals and O's the past three seasons.

IIRC it was this game, and he was pitching well. 8 Ks thru 4.2, 1 run & 4 hits allowed. I remember how shocked he was when TC came out to pull him. A card worthy moment. [url]http://ultimatemets.com/gamedetail.php?gameno=8853
