Mack’s Mets - Prospect Update
Prospect Update:
I’m going to add to the blog, each week, an update on key prospects that are in line to someday become big-time Mets. I’m going to do this rather than keep updating my top 50 prospect list each month. We’ll update that also, from time to time, but this weekly feature will let you know how some key prospects are coming along.
The 2010 Crop:
The Real Dirty Mets Fan – Draft And Follow 6-20-09
The first (and so far only) member of the Mets 2009 First-Year Player Draft class to see any professional game action is 1B Sam Honeck out of Tulane. Honeck started at 1B for the Brooklyn Cyclones last night, batting third against the Staten Island Yankees. His career did not get off to an auspicious start, as Honeck went 0 for 3 with 2 strikeouts and grounded into a double play. He did get one base-on-balls so his OBP is .250 in the early going.
The Star Ledger – Rain could be in the way of New York Mets and Tampa Bay Rays
The tarp is on the field and, yes, it is raining again here at Citi Field. The forecast does not look promising for baseball, which is supposed to begin at 4:10 p.m. It’s a shame, too, because an intriguing pitching matchup is scheduled. Johan Santana, coming off the worst start of his career, at Yankee Stadium, is back on the mound looking to redeem himself.
Aol.com - Jose Reyes Back to Baseball Tasks
While he wasn’t exactly off to a hot start, Jose Reyes is an extremely important cog to the New York Mets. He’s been on the shelf with a torn hamstring tendon since May 20. The Mets initially played well without him, but have since fallen on tough times. They defeated Tampa Bay Friday night, but have still lost six of their last nine games. It’s true that Reyes’ absence isn’t the only thing ailing the Mets, but he’s such a dynamic player he helps every aspect of the team.
The ‘Ropolitans – From the Comments: Update on Phillie Jerseys in Citi Field
Take this with a grain of salt. First off, we have no idea if the original story is even true, nevermind the update. Still, it could be real for all we know. I haven’t heard anything about this, so I’m leaning toward “myth” but read it and make your own decision.
Here’s the original story.
