MMP Awards for May

MLB
Hitter of the Month: Jose Reyes
.364/.421/.555 | 9 2B | 6 3B | 18 R | 10 RBI | 11/13 SB | 11:8 BB:K
One of two things is sure with how well Reyes is playing right now. (1) The Mets are going to get a very good package of prospects for him, or at least one much better than the Homer Bailey/Zack Cozart package Buster Olney felt they would get before the seasons, or (2) The amount of money the Mets will have to give Jose is going through the roof. Hopefully it is the later of the two.
Pitcher of the Month: Dillon Gee
3-0 | 3.48 ERA | 33.2 IP | 25 H | 13 R | 13 ER | 13 bb | 27 so
Gee has been a Godsend for this Mets team much like R.A. Dickey was last year. His performances were just terrific this month. He showed he has what it takes to be a major league pitcher in the game against the Cubs when he got rocked early on, but made the necessary adjustments and settled everything down to pick up the seven inning “complete game” victory.
Triple-A
Hitter of the Month: Kirk Nieuwenhuis
.302/.394/.488 | 6 2B | 2 3B | 2 HR | 14 R | 8 RBI | 3/4 SB | 13:29 BB:K
Captain Kirk missed the last week of the month after making one of the best catches you’ll see in the minors this year and was still was by far the best hitter on the Bisons. He could actually have some competition for the month of June with Lucas Duda and Fernando Martinez.
Peter Gammons Betting Mets Draft Levi Michael
Posted by: | Comments
This has all to do with Fred Wilpon’s comments about Jose Reyes and the Mets not having a long term solution to replace him. Levi Michael is a pretty sure bet to make it to the majors and should not take to long to get there. The one problem is he doesn’t have any outstanding tools and is pretty limited offensively.
I like Levi and ranked him 31st on my draft board, but I’m hoping the Mets don’t go in this direction, picking so early in the draft. He is no sure bet to stick at short as some think he is more of a 2nd baseman down the road which is a position he played as a freshman in college.
He showed some pop in previous years, but is one of those players whose power numbers have taken a big hit with the new bats. Season stats stand at .311 AVG, .461 OBP, 12 doubles, three triples, four home runs, 47 runs, and 46 RBI.
A polished player I like, but not at No. 13. Hopefully Gammons has this one wrong.
2011 Season Predictions: Jose Reyes, SS
Posted by: | Comments
Jose Reyes| Shortstop
Season Predictions
AVG%: .293
OBP%: .352
SLG%: .447
HR: 15
RBI: 59
SB: 51
2010 Numbers: .282 | .321 | .428 |11 HR | 54 RBI | 30 SB
162 Game Averages: .286 | .335 | .434 | 13 HR | 66 RBI | 58 SB
Even if by default Reyes had one of the best seasons offensively of any Met. He didn’t have anything close to his best season as his stolen bases came way down, but because this is a walk year for Reyes I see him getting those steals way back up into at least the 50′s. I’m still a believer in the saying “As Reyes goes the Mets go” so a return to the old Reyes will help the Mets reach my prediction of 83 wins. If he puts numbers similar to these he would bring back a lot in a trade near the deadline, which will be tempting for Sandy Alderson to move him but I really hope he does not.
Jose Reyes Thyroids Somewhat Serious Concern
Posted by: | CommentsIn reading about the interview with a thyroid specialist on WFAN it eased some of the concerns I had about Jose Reyes and his thyroid issue as it should bring some peace of mind to you. Obviously anytime you are dealing with the heart their are some major potential problems, but it just doesn’t sound like this will cause too many complications for Reyes. The specialist said that she warns her patients to cut out strenuous activity until their levels cut back, which takes anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks and that the average is 3-4 weeks. As a top athlete in peak physical condition you would think Reyes would be able to make that recovery in less than the two month high it takes to recover.
The positives are that the Mets found out about this early in spring training giving Reyes time to recover before the season begins. Right now this injury is causing a “battle” for the shortstop position between Alex Cora and 20-year-old prospect Ruben Tejada. But there really shouldn’t be. Tejada still has to mature physically before coming up to the show and this isn’t a serious enough injury to waste precious service time on. The recovery process for Reyes isn’t asking for Tommy John surgery, it’s simply requires rest. Cora is more than capable of picking up the slack for a couple of weeks to a month at most.
Link Dump: May 30th, 2009
Posted by: | CommentsNewsday - Mets, Yankees fans refusing to overpay
The evidence is mounting rapidly. In the Bronx, 23 home dates and only one announced sellout, on Opening Day. In Flushing, the same number of dates, the same number of sellouts. Through Friday, the Mets and Yankees were leading their divisions. Yet there are plenty of seats available at both new ballparks despite a winter of priceless free publicity and an endless stream of hype during each team’s broadcasts.
Faith and Fear – Omir the Driving Force
Omir Santos drove home Gary Sheffield Friday night while driving away Ramon Castro. He may be our most versatile catcher ever. As we click our heels over Santos, we are destined to remember Castro fleetingly…which is just about the only fleetness to be associated with Ramon. Yet in the annals of Mets backup backstops, he was actually quite the latter-day stalwart. By starting Wednesday when oh me/oh my/Omir was sidelined by a bruise to the shin, Ramon nosed ahead of Vance Wilson for ninth on the all-time Mets games caught chart, 256 to 255. I know —
Jose Reyes tells the Daily News he’s going to test his right calf running at Citi Field on Saturday. Assuming all goes well, he’s headed to Port St. Lucie on Sunday, and expects to play in an extended spring training game Monday.
When the Mets take the field against Josh Johnson and the Marlins this afternoon at Citi Field, don’t look for David Wright at third base. Instead, just peer into the dugout and you’ll be able to see him chumming it up with last night’s hero, Omir Santos, who will be sitting on the bench too.
David (D J) Wabick OF/1B L R 6’2 210 5-30-84Wabick was originally drafted out of high school in 2002, in the 38th round, by the Chicago White Sox, but chose to go to college instead. “DJ” first played college ball in Illinois and then I transferred down south to a junior college in Flroida. Eventually, he transferred once more to Tthe College of Charleston, where he hit .415 with 9 homers, 27 doubles, 66 RBIs, and 26 walks in 63 games.
