Mets Farm Report: July 18th, 2009

Stars of the Night:
AAA – Jon Niese/Nelson Figueroa
AA – Brad Holt
HiA – Zach Lutz
LoA – Eric Beaulac
SSA – John Servidio
Rk1 – Darrell Ceciliani
Rk2 – Julio Concepcion

AAA – Buffalo Bisons

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Toledo 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 3 Buffalo 0 0 0 1 0 0 X 1 4 0 Recap | Box | W: Niese (5-6, 3.82); L: Lambert (4-7, 3.94) HR: None.

Jon Niese continued to pitch like a beast with a complete game 7inning shutout.  I am hoping to watch the video for this game maybe tomorrow to get a look on how Niese is looking to go along with the amazing stats he has been posting.

Game 2

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Toledo 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 1 Buffalo 0 1 0 0 1 0 X 2 6 0 Recap | Box | W: Figueroa, N (6-4, 2.32); L: Drucker (7-3, 4.31) HR: None.

Two complete game shutouts. Talk about a rarity.

AA – Binghamton Mets

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Erie 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 2 9 1 Binghamton 1 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 X 4 11 0 Recap | Box | W: Holt (2-3, 5.02); L: Nickerson (7-7, 4.94); SV: Robertson, C (4) HR: ERI: De Leon (4). BIN: Duda (6), Davis, I (4).

This is why I voted for Brad Holt over Mejia in the side poll.  The dude is just dominant.  His K totals have been and outside of 3-4 starts in his short career he has been nearly unhittable.  Lucas Duda now has 2 homeruns and 5 RBI’s in the last two games. Ike Davis hit his 11th homerun of the season and 4th since joining the B-Mets.

HiA – St. Lucie Mets

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Daytona 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 7 2 St. Lucie 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 Recap | Box | W: Carpenter, C (2-1, 1.71); L: Moviel (0-3, 6.05) HR: None.

I am not going to start worrying about Scott Moviel he is still coming back from an injury and this is a decent start I won’t really worry too much until next season.  That will be the key year for him as a prospect.  KIrk Nieuwenhuis has really got to lower his average this .240 is not going to cut it for me.

LoA – Savannah Sand Gnats

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Hickory 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 2 2 3 Savannah 3 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 X 5 9 3 Recap | Box | W: Beaulac (6-5, 2.44); L: Boscan (4-5, 3.34); SV: Cruz, R (18) HR: None.

I love Eric Beaulac‘s dominance, but he has to learn to pitch deeper into ballgames.  I am not going to take anything away from his 1 hit, 7 strikeout performance, but the one thing he hasn’t done is pitch deep.  The teen sensations both had multi hit games with Jefry Marte getting a double.  A bit of a beanfest with 4 hit batters in the game (2 by Beaulac)

SSA – Brooklyn Cyclones

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Auburn 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 3 11 0 Brooklyn 0 0 0 2 3 2 0 4 X 11 11 0 Recap | Box W: Cohoon (5-1, 2.48) HR: BRK: Servidio 2 (6), Green, A (1), Vaughn (1).

Nice job by 2009 draft pic Sam Honeck to go 3-5 with 3 RBI’s.  He is one of the only hitters selected who has actually hit since joining the Metsies.  John Servidio smacked the ball around hitting 2 bombs and even getting hit by a pitch.  To go along with that he also drove in 3 runs.

Rk1 – Kingsport Mets

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Kingsport 0 2 3 3 4 1 1 0 1 15 16 1 Greeneville 0 0 2 0 2 0 0 1 0 5 10 0 Recap | Box | W: Aldama (2-0, 5.18); L: Hyatt, B (1-1, 11.77) HR: KNG: Ceciliani, D (2), Lucas, R (1), Steinhauer, K (1).

The offense broke out huge with everyone getting atleast one hit.  Most notable games were Darrell Ceciliani, Alonzo Harris, Kurt Steinhauer.  Undrafted free agent Bobby Gagg struck out the side in the 9th.

Rk2 – GCL Mets

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E GCL Mets 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 10 0 GCL Astros 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 X 4 8 2 Recap | Box W: Hylander, S (2-0, 2.20); L: Tovar, O (1-1, 3.80); SV: Schurz, M (3) HR: None.
