If you're in New York this Saturday, don't forget to check out the SABR meeting, where I'll be doing a short presentation and then signing books with co-author Matt Silverman. There's a small admission fee, but its more than worth it to be involved. There's usually some stuff for collectors, plenty of baseball books (and writers) on hand, there's an impossible trivia contest and interesting presentations. And fewer pocket-protectors than you would think. 10 a.m. at the Mid-Mahattan Library at 5th Ave. & 40th.

Thanks to readers Kevin and John who informed me of some minor errors in the player profiles they'd come across (Benny Agbayani, Ron Taylor, Vince Coleman and a few others). The new format fortunately makes these things very easy to fix, so don't hesitate to inform me if something looks goofy. The majority of these "player views" by the way are nothing much to look at yet, but I'll be adding to them gradually. Some include photos and/or brief bios already.

Meanwhile in Metland, how about a round of applause for handsome young Fernando Martinez, who was reassigned to minor league camp but had little to be ashamed of, leaving behind a mark of .340/.373/.426, with four doubles and just seven whiffs in 47 spring training at-bats wearing No. 67. MBTN reader Kevin, yes, the same one looking up Vince Coleman, suggests turning speculation over what number F-Mart wears when/if he returns in the regular season into a game. This of course is a great idea.

In the comments section below, please submit your guess as to what number will be issued to Fernando Martinez upon his regular-season debut with the Mets. Keep in mind this exercise may require you to further speculate as to the time (or year, even) at which he arrives so as far as I'm concerned all number guesses are valid. I'll try to keep track and offer a prize (how about a signed book?) to the winner.

Currently, you needn't be logged in to comment, but it may aid in tracking you down in the event you win. Politic all you want, but be a sportsman and enter just once.

Word also today that along with a few of the longer shots (Joselo Diaz, Nate Field, etc.) chubby veteran pinch-hitting hopeful Olmedo Seanz was assigned to minor league camp. Could a guy who wears No. 93 (Brady Clark) make the team? Just might. A trade could very well be in the works as well.
