Today's newsletter is a fun one, #Mets fans! I chatted with @jamesschiano.bsky.social about a more recent “what-if” scenario: What if the Mets were able to land Yoshinobu Yamamoto?

A free-agent 'unicorn' who might have changed everything.

Who’s going to tell him this is how they look 99% of the time and the main difference is actually universal health care?

Think Clay Holmes can be a successful starting pitcher

- 100th percentile ground ball %
- Demon sinker is sick
- Sweeper one of best in league
- Gyro Slider great against lefties & righties

He will need to use more fastballs or develop a changeup to beat lefties but lots of upside here for Mets

Bailey Ober has been perpetually underrated. Then he made some small tweaks that season that made him a bona fide stud

Love Frankie Montas for the Mets

Above average fastball velocity, over 150IP last season, five pitch-mix, and a plus splitter

The ERA was ugly, but his K% jumped to 28.7% after some adjustments with the Brewers

Citi Field will also be kind to him

$17M AAV is cheap for a Starter, great move

Francisco Alvarez turned 23 years old today

For catchers all-time…

He's played the 9th most games
Is tied for the 2nd most home runs
And has the MOST postseason at-bats

Before turning 23

It's really easy to forget how special the start of his career has been. Sky's the limit.

First post on Blue Sky wooo

Writing an article series for Rotoworld where I go through all the 2024 breakouts and tell you how they got better

This is how Hunter Greene became an ace, why it was a little weird, and how he can keep getting better
