MLB.com says it's Freddie Freeman...? https://www.mlb.com/awards/player-of-the-month Wow... the Mets haven't had a Player of the Month since David Wright in June 2010.

Tomás Nido has been named a finalist for the Gold Glove at catcher, alongside Travis d'Arnaud and J.T. Realmuto.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 20 2022 01:32 PM Re: Award A Met In 2022

Nice! A Met, a former Met, and a several-times-rumored Met.

Surprising not to see mcsquirrel nor Guillorme on the list…

bmfc1 Oct 20 2022 01:40 PM Re: Award A Met In 2022

In the newly created "Utility" category you will not find Luis Guillorme or Jeff McNeil but you will find Tommy Edman who is nominated at 2B and Daulton Varsho who is nominated at RF. To me, if you've played enough at a position to be worthy of a nomination at that position then you should not be nominated for the award created for players who move around the field. https://www.mlb.com/news/2022-gold-glove-awards-finalists

Edgy MD Oct 20 2022 01:46 PM Re: Award A Met In 2022

I like that the nominees for the utility player included a classic 2b/3b/ss utility infielder (Tommy Erdman), an infielder/outfielder (Brendan Donovan), and a catcher/outfielder (Daulton Varsho). Sorry not to see the Mets classic 2b/3b/ss utility infielder (Luis Guillorme), or infielder/outfielder (Jeff McNeil) there. I agree that nominating a guy as both a specialist and a generalist would seem to be beyond the spirit of the category.

But I feel like the GGs are the awards most often botched over the years in terms of awards given out.

In case you're wondering, there IS a Marvin Miller Award, and Lindor has been nominated. The Marvin Miller award was created in 1997 as a players' choice award and recognizes the outstanding on and off-field performances of players. https://metsmerizedonline.com/francisco-lindor-named-finalist-for-marvin-miller-award/ Later

The above description sounds slightly like that of: The Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence.

Mets shut out of the GG but former Met Andres Gimenez won at 2B for the Guardians. Not surprising, the kid could always stick it out in the field.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 02 2022 07:24 AM Re: Award A Met In 2022

They already announced the winners? I thought that they'd wait until after the World Series.

Outfield prospect Omar De Los Santos is your Florida State League MVP. Omar hit .272/.339/.459//.798 with 23 2B, 5 3B, 16 HR, and 62 RBI. He also stole 70 bases in 85 attempts. Both the power and the thieving represented breakthrough numbers for him as he led the circuit in both hits and stealz. https://metsminors.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/omar-de-los-santos-e1651835043975.jpg>

[BLOCKQUOTE]'dians grab franchise-record 4 Gold Glove awards[/BLOCKQUOTE] I hadn't seen this way of describing the Cleveland franchise ('dians) but I guess its a way to "honor" both the new name (GuarDIANS) and old (InDIANS)?

MFS62 Nov 11 2022 06:07 AM Re: Award A Met In 2022

It will be interesting to see how high (and even if) De Los Santos ranks on the Top Mets 20 prospect lists. He may have the "old for his level" label that lowers the ranking of some prospects who turned out to be just fine(e.g.- Wade Boggs). I hope that was because of the reduction of playing opportunity when the minors contracted during COVID. I think this guy can be very good. Later

This just in: Jeff McNeil won the Silver Slugger Award for second base. https://sny.tv/articles/mets-jeff-mcneil-silver-slugger-award?fbclid=IwAR1FHdqk_uh1q9x2ZumLO0nORRbsS6UYXRqzbvjfhttsQetOGNKWr1qjXnk Later

McNubbin becomes the first Met to win a Silver Slugger since Yoenis Céspedes in 2016. He is the first to win the award as a secondbaseman since Edgardo Alfonzo in 1999. Catcher Mike Piazza has won the most Silver Slugger trophies as a Met, with five. Ex-Met Brandon Drury becomes the first-ever National League winner of the award as a utility player for his work as a Red and as a Padre. Seeing as he hadn't hit a lick for three years before joining the Mets, I think there's some small reflected glory on the Mets organization for that one too.

One night after Buck Showalter is named NL Manager of the Year, Edwin Diaz collects a second place vote and a pair of fifth place votes to finish ninth in NL Cy Young balloting.

Max Scherzer finished 5th in WAR for NL pitchers. Got no votes.

Diaz won the Mariano Rivera AL version back in 2018. Adding the old Rolaids Award and the short time concurrent DHL awards, Diaz is the 22nd multiple time winner, and the sixth to do it in both leagues. The others; Rollie Fingers Padres 1977-1978, 1980 and Brewers 1981 Craig Kimbrel Braves 2012-2014 and Red Sox 2017 Lee Smith Cardinals 1991, 1992 and Orioles 1994 Jose Valverde Diamondbacks 2007 and Tigers 2011 Randy Myers Reds 1993 and Orioles 1997

Benitez in 2001, and Franco in 1990 are the only other Meryl winners.

I read that Diaz was named to the First Team, All-MLB team, and Lindor and Scherzer were named to the Second-Team, All-MLB team. I'm all in for giving Mets recognition. But I don't think I've ever heard of this before.

It's been a thing since 2019. MLB trying to do an All-Pro/All NBA sort of “After the season All-Star, all encompassing roster” set of awards



Metly selections;



2019

Pete Alonso First Team 1B

Jacob deGrom First Team SP (5 starters, 2 Relievers on each of the two 16-man squads)



2020

Jacob deGrom First Team SP

Michael Conforto Second Team OF (three OFs selected regardless of dominant/main position)



No Mets in 2021

One last batch of Met awards for 2022: Jay Horwitz honored with the Gil Hodges Unforgettable Fire Award earlier this month at the Queens Baseball Convention. Starling Marte named Richie Ashburn Most Valuable Met by a relatively reputable local outlet. Something Short of Satisfaction recognized with the Nikon Camera Player of the Year Award (a.k.a. the definitive Met vibe to emerge from the past twelve months).
