Memories of Chasen Bradford

DFA'd yesterday, claimed by Seattle today. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/01/ ... -mets.html Please tell me your memories of Chasen, as I have none, and I will pretend yours are mine.

A whole lotta beard. Whole lotta. Not the longest but perhaps the densest thing I've seen on a Metface since Pete Falcone. Also part of a strange subset of young Mets in recent years (along with Paul Sewald) who've come through Las Vegas who are actually from Las Vegas. As a guy who put up a sub-4.00 ERA in 2017, even with a lot of luck, I kind of knew he'd get claimed as soon as he was DFA'd.

He was Black Bear that weekend players wore nicknames on their dopey fake Little League jerseys. Wasn't terrible for a 2017 Mets middle reliever. I was surprised they DFA'd him, not shocked he got picked up.

It strikes me that filling up the roster early in December to protect players from the Rule V draft, rather than leaving two or so spots open, may be counter productive. If you lose a guy in the Rule 5 Draft, a team has to carry him all year long or offer him back. If you have a full roster, you frequently have to put guys through waivers when you sign free agents later in the winter, and if a team claims one of those guys, he's gone for good. By reaching the bigs, Chasen made good on a 35th-round draft pick from 2011, the first under the Alderson/DePodesta/Riccardi/Ricco regime, the 13th player from that draft to make the Show, with nine making it as Mets.

My memories of Chasen Bradford are hazy as I tend to conflate him with Chasen Sanborn, even though Bradford is much more mellow. Sanborn always played like he was overly-caffeinated.
