WASHINGTON -- Entering this season, the Mets thought highly enough of José Butto that they considered him a noteworthy piece of their organizational depth. If David Peterson and Tylor Megill were the Mets’ sixth and seventh starters, Butto had a credible case to be the eighth. Once José Quintana and

Mauricio just crushed his first major league homer.

I watched it as it happened. He absolutely launched it.
He's gonna be a real good ball player. And so far out of the 4 "baby mets"...I really like him and Alvarez much more than I do Baty & Vientos....although "the jury (more or less) is still out" on all of them.

Hey...Thanks.
I too have been a long time Mets fan (since 1967). I've pretty much seen it all over the years with this franchise. I grew up back there in Queens and later in Westchester county, and after that in Southern Conn.
No I'm not a mod....lol. Following this team is just an annual hobby of mine. I like to catalogue the daily ongoings/games/scores etc throughout the season...and a little bit during the offseason. I also post at a few other Mets related sites...some of which I link in here before and after games.

After all....MLB is still America's pastime, right?

Ftr:...I'm also a big Knicks fan.


Thanks again...I appreciate the kind words.

LGM!
YGB!
