Struggling Holt Demoted, Maldonado Promoted

Coming into the season as the Mets 6th best prospect everything was looking good for Brad Holt.  He was moving through the system quicker then expected, but then things started to take a free fall for Holt.  He started the year off hurt and when he came back things just went as bad as they possibly could.  In 10 games he has gone 1-5 with a staggering 10.20 ERA.  He is giving up nearly a walk per inning and giving up well over resulting in his ugly 2.15 WHIP.  In his first two seasons in the minors Holt had displayed pretty good command and he is still getting his fair share of strikeouts so I’d have to think Holt is still feeling the effects of his injury whether it is causing him to alter his mechanics or what, but he is definitely not 100%.

Moves:

Brad Holt transferred from AA (Binghamton) to HiA (St. Lucie)

Brahiam Maldonado transferred from HiA (St. Lucie) to AA (Binghamton)

John Maine transferred from AA (Binghamton) to AAA (Buffalo)

Juan Centeno transferred from AA (Binghamton) to SSA (Brooklyn)
