AAA – Buffalo Bisons
Dilllon Gee pitched a stellar game today it is to bad he couldn’t have pitched this well all season because then we could have tried to swing him in a Lee trade. Boy has Lucas Duda been raking since being promoted to AAA.
AA – Binghamton Mets
The same old story continued today with Eric Niesen. He got decent results, but continued to struggle with his command. If he doesn’t start attacking hitters soon with his plus stuff then he is never going to be able to make it further in his development and become a starter in the bigs. Emary Frederick did a great job coming in and stranding two of Eddie Kunz’s inherited runners. In the third inning the BMets got a coupe of bloops followed by a walk which allowed Raul Reyes to come up and strike again, this time with a grand salami. This is the second straight game Sean Ratliff has taken a walk with no strikeouts.
HiA – St. Lucie Mets
Mets pitching gave up 3 runs on just 6 hits thanks to an incredible 8 walks! They did strike out 7 batters, but just wow 8 walks. It was a bitter sweet start for Brad Holt who only gave up 1 run and 2 hits while striking out 5 in 5 inning, however, is control was still an issue also delivering 5 walks. Something tells me the success was more due to the level of competition than Holt actually getting things straightened out. Nothing looked noticeably different in the videos from last year to this year so it is really odd how big of a 180 he has undergone. It is amazing that the offense had 15 hits yet just 1 went for extra bases (double from Richard Lucas). Wilmer Flores was at it again today with 3 more hits and now has 13 hits in just 6 games for St. Lucie. Because it was a day game Carlos Beltran DHed and picked up a hit now reaching base in every rehab game so far. He will play center field tomorrow.
LoA – Savannah Sand Gnats
John Church was reportedly hitting 93-94 mph tonight on the gun which would be a tick above previous velocity reports. Church had put up good numbers the last couple of years so if the velocity sticks he could make some noise as a legitimate prospect. Nick Santomauro continued the climb back up to .200 with another hit today. You know you are in the low minors when a game has 7 errors in it. Alonzo Harris had the biggest blow of the night hitting a 3-run jack in the sixth inning.
SSA – Brooklyn Cyclones
How can you not love what Cory Vaughn is doing right now? He now has 3 home runs in his last 3 games and has hit 4 more home runs in Brooklyn than Ike Davis. Not only that, but his biggest flaw was supposed to be plate discipline and he is currently rocking a 7:5 K:BB. It is a small sample size, but a very encouraging one.
RK – Kingsport Mets
I still think it was a terrible draft pick, but hey at least Javier Rodriguez is actually doing something now.
