He was my favorite Met when I was a kid. Didn't he break his arm running back to catch a pop-up at Wrigley? I have that memory in my head, but could be I have it wrong. A lot of Duffy Dyer (or was it Ron Hodges?) after that injury. The reason I ask is because I see all these new ballparks with their brick walls behind home plate. Every time I see that I think about Grote. (I have only seen one game from Citifield - does it have a brick wall behind the plate?)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('149199','Eagle'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('149199','Eagle','Thanks for the Grote quotes.

And outfield main starters would be Beltran, F-Mart, and Tatis, plus subs. Sheff would stil get a few starts out there too... That could work, Rich. If Putz is not gonna be able to deliver us the 8th inning, things just got a lot bleaker. Maybe Billy Wagner will eventually be our 8th inning guy, possibly by mid-August.... F-Rod has been unbelievable, what a treat after last year to have this solid a closer. Long live Jerry Grote, what a hard-nosed baseball purist. Those Ron Taylor comments are terrific, Steve.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('149036','David in Manhattan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('149036','David in Manhattan','So Sheff would go into a platoon at 1B with Murphy, at least till we get Delgado back...

He's played some 1B in his career (most recently with the Highlanders). So, why not have him play 1B and put Tatis in RF? Save Sheff's legs and get better D out there.

We all heard the whispers when Putz came that there was something wrong with his arm. Well, there you go. It seemed a bit odd that the M's would trade him, Reed, and Green (another story there, but anyway) for Heilman and Endy. And it did seem to go beyond the M's ability to sign him. I agree, he'll linger for a while, then go on the DL, then we'll hear it is reconstructive elbow surgery.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('148838','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('148838','Rich','I\'ve been to PNC and as Burkhardt said last night, it and AT&T in SF are the gems of baseball.
