I like Ike! This man has just been on fire for about oh the last 10 months. I am checking off the days until he is in a Met uniform for good. In two games he has 3 extra base hits more than all Mets first baseman combines. The other first base option, Chris Carter, also had a solid game. And for the NY Mets tonight? Mike Jacobs 0-2. Good call Jerry. Kiko Calero had a solid outing and hopefully he can work his way back into shape pretty quickly so that we don’t have to see Sean Green anymore. Continue reading →

Mets Have Worst Scouting Director in MLB?

Posted on March 13, 2010 by Nicholas Pugliese

Andy Seiler did a ranking of all the scouting directors in Major League Baseball for his blog MLB Bonus Baby. You are never going to guess who came in at #30 for last place…

30. New York Mets, Rudy Terrasas: I have to go with the director that was almost on the chopping block at the end of season in 2009. Terrasas is in a difficult predicament, having few resources and picking hit-or-miss players, making his job even more difficult. The few resources he’s given are sometimes wasted on players that have no future as Major League players. For that reason, he gets the last spot on the list.

Yes, the Mets have had bad drafts lately, but they are definitely not the worst scouting team in baseball. Since Rudy Terrasas took over the Mets have produced major leaguers in Kevin Mulvey, Joe Smith, Daniel Murphy, Tobi Stoner, and Eddie Kunz. Not to mention the 2008 draft that saw Ike Davis, Reese Havens, Brad Holt, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, and Kyle Allen.

The Cardinals on the other hand since Jeff Lunhow have taken over have flopped 1st round picks Adam Ottavino, Tyler Herron, Mark Mccormick, and arguably Pete Kozma. The only draft picks that pop out to me are Chris Perez, Colby Rasmus, Mitch Boggs, and Tyler Greene. That is also with an extra year of drafting and much much more money to spend. Their last two drafts have looked a little better, but that is just because of top talents who fell to them (Shelby Miller and Brett Wallace). Somehow though they have found their found their way to #24 on the list.

The Mets are just always taking crap for their drafting, but if you look at their roster they have the homegrown talents of David Wright, Jose Reyes, Jon Niese, Mike Pelfrey, Angel Pagan, Bobby Parnell, Mike Jacobs, Fernando Martinez and Jason Bay went through the system even though he wasn’t drafted or signed by the Mets. Its the whole perception that the Mets farm sucks that makes people give them dead last rankings like this. I don’t see how a team that currently has a farm in the #13-18 range can have the worst scouting director in the league. If anyone can fill me in on how this makes sense it would be greatly appreciated.

Update: Look at this list. Anyone still care to say the Cardinals have a better scouting director. Continue reading →

Minor League Ball – Hit and Run, June 29th, 2009

**Ike Davis Update: Davis found his power stroke in May at St. Lucie, bringing his numbers there up to .288/.376/.486, very nice numbers for the Florida State League. Promoted to Double-A last week, he’s hitting .400/.538/.550 through six games at Binghamton. He’s 8-for-20 with three doubles, five strikeouts, and six walks so far. The fact that he’s maintained the walk rate at the higher level is a good sign. He will likely need some consolidation time at this level and if I were the Mets I wouldn’t consider a promotion to Triple-A until August at the earliest, if he’s hitting well. Nevertheless, he’s exceeded the expectations I had for him in the book and has calmed concerns about his bat.

Brad Holt was absolutely LIT up. This might wind up being the worst outing in his life. The only batter Holt retired was the 3rd batter of the game Nick Weglarz. He let the first two batters on then walked the bases loaded before giving up a 2-run single and 3-run bomb. He was then pulled from the game for Stephen Clyne who got out of the inning. The only effective B-Met pitcher was Roy Merritt who pitched 2 scoreless innings striking out 2 batters. Continue reading →
