An update on some of the former Mets that were traded away recently…
1. Mike Carp, 1b Tacoma Raiders (Seattle AAA)
Carp is currently tearing the cover off the ball hitting .329 with 6 homeruns, 8 doubles, and 15 rbi’s. His K/BB is also pretty solid right now and he is looking like he could make a legitimate impact in the MLB in the very near future. Kinda surprising how well he is doing.
2. Ezequiel Carrera, of West Tenn Diamond Jaxx (Seattle AA)
Carrera, part of the J.J. Putz trade, is playing a solid defensive outfield and hitting .359 with 12 RBI’s, and 5 steals. The real amazing thing about his season is the 19 walks and 14 k’s. He is showing amazing plate discipline right now and getting on base at a clip of .490 and a nice 23 runs in 22 games. Forming into a nice leadoff hitter.
3. Endy Chavez, of Seattle Mariners
ENDY!!! CHAVEZ!!! Chavez is finally getting a chance to play in Seattle and putting up good numbers. .307 AVG, 5 steals in 6 tries, his amazing defense. A great add for the Mariners as Endy is playing extremely solid for them.
4. Aaron Heilman, rp Chicago Cubs
Heilman is having a pretty good season even though the numbers don’t look amazing. 2-1 4.50 ERA isn’t great, however, he has given up 6 earned runs all season and 5 of them came from one outing. Only 1 homerun from Heilman is also good for him.
5. Dustin Martin, of Rochester Red Wings (Twins AAA)
Martin was traded in the Luis Castillo deal a couple years ago with potential sleeper potential well it seems like that potential has cooled off a bit. A .295 AVG with 1 homerun, 8 rbi’s, 7 SB’s is a pretty good season, but he lacks good plate discipline and isn’t poised to hit for a high enough average to make up for it.
6. Kevin Mulvey, sp Rochester Red Wings (Twins AAA)
Mulvey the Mets’s 1st pick in ’06 was dealt for Johan Santana and is developing just as planned. He isn’t putting up eye popping numbers, but he is 0-1 with a 3.26 ERA and 20 K’s in 19.1 IP. He is going to get groundballs and he is going to keep you in the game just like we thought when he was drafted.
7. Deolis Guerra, sp Fort Myers Miracle (Twins AA)
Last, but not least one other main part of the Johan trade. Guerra has struggled ever since being traded this season going 2-1, 4.07 ERA, and has 17 K’s in 24.1 IP. The H/9 are pretty aalarming, but inside the numbers he has had 3 good games and 1 bad game this year so maybe he can continue to prove. For now it is looking like this deal was an absolute steal for the Mets.
