Life is finally good to them!

After all of the votes were tallied, and the voting and tallying were heavily audited, and you best believe the auditors were themselves audited, it was clear there were four men who captured New York Mets fans’ imaginations during this past vacation in Hell divided into 162 baseball games: Michael Conforto, Jacob deGrom, Jerry Blevins, and Curtis Granderson each took home at least two Fundies trophies. One took three! For the sake of drama, read on to find out who.

Best Met Newbie (Non-Rookie)

This was AJ Ramos’ award to lose.

He lost. Likely due to the agita he gave fans in each of his appearances, none of which were in games that even “mattered.” Aoki’s 0.3 fWAR in 27 games and not messing anything up probably helped Nori take home the trophy too.

Mets Rookie of the Year

One can look at the results and think about how underwhelming Dominic “Dom Smith” Smith was in his six weeks in the majors. He admitted to being tired after playing 163 games in Triple-A and in The Show combined, so maybe it’s that. Or he’ll never be good. OR we can focus on Amed! Hi Amed! We hope many more Fundies trophies come your way. The good ones.

Most Improved Met

No matter who is to blame, Michael Conforto had a crummy 2016. His 2017 was great until The Incident. He was, and always will be, an All-Star.

The ‘Oh Murph’ Bad Fundie of the Year

It’s a shame Hansel Robles didn’t win. Would he have thanked God and pointed up? Would he had been offended by the ensuing laughter?

Best pitching performance

Greg Prince is the poet laureate of the New York Mets. He rarely cusses. After deGrom’s performance against the defending champions, the co-founder of Faith and Fear in Flushing tweeted this:

The Seaver (Best Starting Pitcher)

Jacob deGrom started 31 games in 2017. He was “crowned” as the team MVP 11 of those times. Nobody else on the team, including position players who are supposed to play more than once every five games, came particularly close to matching that total.

Raddison Reed Award for Excellence in Bullpen Raddisonance

Shocking upset? Jerry was one of the two players from the Opening Day roster who survived the entire season without landing on the DL, so I guess he deserves to win an award named after somebody else.
