Memories of Travis Jankowski

Claimed by the Mariners. Pinch-ran a dozen times as a Met. All but guaranteed to lead the team in 2022 despite his new residence.

That's a tough pill. Didn't get a lot of opportunity to find whatever stroke he might have since coming off the injured list. Loved how he ran the bases.

Yet another Seawolf Met, so I was quite pleased, even if the dream didn't quite get completely fulfilled.

Of the dozen times Jankowski pinch-ran, he brought home a run five of them.

I don't think he'll ever amount to a good enough hitter to hold down a starting position on any team much less a good one, but its a shame that he's always seemed to get just enough injuries to virtually guarantee that.

The injuries have been such a problem for him. He's never been able to get consistent ABs, anywhere he's played the last few years. Part of me wishes the Padres had given him more of a shot, but at the same time, he kept getting hurt. Also, as to specific memories here, the whole "nobody's buying my jersey" thing, which felt like it caused a ton of his fellow Seawolves to do exactly that. Freddy is a very good dude.

Ex-Mets on the Mariners right now: Chris Flexen Paul Sewald Sam Haggerty Jared Kelenick (let's count him for this exercise) Travis Jankowski.

=bmfc1 post_id=101841 time=1659443519 user_id=73] Jared Kelenick (let's count him for this exercise)

He's back in the bigs actually. Got called up over the weekend for the first time since mid-May.

Started both Sunday & Monday: went 0/7 w/3 Ks. Dropped his season totals to .129/.204/.269 in 93 ABs

The Mariners, of course, also have honorary Met Luis Castillo. Plus Tommy Milone is on the injured list. I move that we just rename them The West Coast Mets (even if we mean the coast of the Puget Sound). They also have Manny Acta in the coaching box at third and Lenny Randle forever blowing the ball foul.

And SEA's TV PBP announcer is Dave Sims who is a Mets fan (per a recent conversation on the Tony Kornheiser podcast).

Travis Jankowski was DFA'd today by SEA.

Travis, who returned to the organization only to stall at Syracuse, will join Jacob deGrom in immersing himself in the Texas Rangers' winning culture (Spring Training invite).
