Memories of Billy McKinney

The Dodgers have poached Billy McKinney. There go a bunch of clutch hits and catches, albeit wrapped in a low average.

June 28 at Nationals Park: Billy follows Pete's 2-run HR with a PH HR to bring the Mets within one. I'm sorry that the Mets lost him.

Quite liked him, hope he doesn't bite us in the boo boo down the road...

Did a perfectly fine imitation of a lesser Michael Conforto while the genuine article was injured. (Still sports a stat line with an OPS about 100 points above the genuine article, in fact.) Was hoping he'd be the team's lefty bat off the bench (LBotB) for the pennant drive. For now, the role falls to Travis Blankenhorn or a veteran to be named later (VtBNL). The Dodgers, should he appear for them, will be his fifth MLB club, and seventh MLB organization, which isn't bad for a 26-year-old.

Rincon is a righty hitter and has shown 15-20 HR power in the minors, but never higher than AA. Later

Accidentally realized he was potentially valuable as an emergency roster-add in the CPF Fantasy League (which thanks on part to him, I'm fucking dominating). I imagine Zack Scott had the same experience. Odd batting stance where he leaned back. Really stupid uniform number of 60.

That's also a terrible number for a skinny guy.

You mean the Mets didn't get Rincon from Oakland? McKinney stepped up and provided some clutch hits. Billy will get a decent share when the Mets win this thing.

Billy's primed to collect checks East, Central and West. [tweet]https://twitter.com/andrewsimonmlb/status/1418278304545640450[/tweet]

Nice way to guarantee yourself a playoff share.
