As discussed earlier this season in this post, and confirmed by repeated resistance to trade him for free-agent relief help, the Mets have high hopes for 19-year-old outfielder Fernando Martinez, currently resting a hammy in AA but considered an option to improve our lousy offense this season. We already started a guessing game there and we'll continue here.

The available choices constitute numbers nominally available between 1 and 50, plus 58 since that was someone's guess in the earlier contest.

I think 16 is the number for him. OK, Pagan has it now, but my guess is that he's worn it for the last time as a Met.

Mazzilli, Gooden, Martinez - It's a good pheenom number.

#24 is mothballed mainly for Mays' contributions with the NY Giants, similar to the Brewers' retiring #44 for Henry Aaron's play with the Milwaukee Braves.
