Since attendance isn't increasing I'm concerning about money. Manny Sanguillen has taken over the regular catchers job and Milt May in AA is 2.5 stars. I also signed 32 year old FA Don Pavletich 2.5 to a minor league contract.
Soooo... C Tim McCarver age 28 3.0 but less on the details than Sanguillen, RP Clay Carroll age 29 2.5, SS Jimmy Sexton age 18 1.0/2.0 BC league for RP Nolan Ryan age 23 3.5/4.0 as RP 2.5/3.5 as SP and CF Michael Mitchell age 23 2.0/2.5 AAA league. Trading Ryan was the Mets idea.
So far Ryan is extra wild in this save. He's led the NL in walks three times including a year where he pitched only 176 innings. His highest IP is 237. This year he's 7.5 BB/9, the highest of his career.
Like McCarver, Curt Flood is another backup with a regular's salary. Looks like a mistake signing him to an extension.
