Metsblog – Q&A: MetsBlog and Brad Holt, Thole on Mets Weekly
interest in trading Double-A RHP Brad Holt or Jennry Mejia, as well as Fernando Martinez or Ike Davis, among others. The 22-year-old Holt is 0–3 with a 8.40 ERA in four starts since being promoted to Double-A Binghamton, though he allowed five earned runs in just 0.1 innings in his second start. Last month, during my trip to Double-A Binghamton, I talked with Holt.
Scouting the Sally - Scouting Report: Jeurys Familia, SP, Mets
Earlier in the year, I wrote a so-so game report on 19-year old Jeurys Familia who, at the time, was armed with a low-90′s fastball and not much else.

By choosing to bench Murphy after a good start on Wednesday, he’s got us all scratching our heads as to what exactly you have to do to stay in a major league lineup. Yup, it’s spring training in July as Snoop continues to force feed Tatis to the world to “get him into a rhythm”, as if making sure that Tatis can count in 4/4 time is a component to winning baseball.
No No-Hitters – 7,566: Mets win streak snapped at … um … 1
The Los Angeles Dodgers jumped on Livan Hernandez early and often Thursday night en route to an 11-2 victory to snap the Mets’ one-game win streak. Hernandez got off to a horrid start, giving up a leadoff ground-rule double to Rafael Furcal during a four-run first inning. Not only did it advance our NoNoHitters.com count to 7,566
