AAA – Buffalo Bisons

Oh no it’s time to freak out Josh Thole only has one hit so far in the season! :p. Ike Davis is a TANK.
AA – Binghamton Mets

I’d say this is a positive outing from Eddie Kunz. He seemed to gas out a bit out the end and his command was eh, but he made up for it with terrific ground ball numbers thanks to his sinker and new change up.

Darin Gorski should be in the starting rotation. He is a relatively high pick with decent stuff. If Michael Antonini is still viewed as a starter I don’t see how Gorski isn’t.

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.

Like Ike it seems like Captain Kirk’s  hot streak is carrying over to 2010.  In game 1 the Mets made a nice effort at a comeback to overcome Eric Niesen‘s lack luster performance, but 2 runs was all they needed in game 2 thanks to Dylan Owen‘s great start. It’s nice to see Nick Evans with a good game. He must just hate Buffalo because he hits everywhere else.

I got too tired to finish adding in comments just know Robert Carson was WILD to say the least.

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.

Bit shocked Holt actually gave up 3 runs with only 3 hits and 1 walk.  Still it has to be an encouraging start with a whopping 10ks in only 5 innings.  Ike Davis is just smashing the ball.

Rough start for Moviel, but he gets a pass as he is still returning from an injury, but nice job by Frederick in mop up duty.  Welch, Veloz, and Maldonado had multi hit games.

Another rough outing for Allen the homeruns are a little concerning.  Josh Satin and Sean Ratliff (both who should be in St. Lucie) hit homeruns in today’s game.  Jefry Marte 32nd error of the season!!

AAAHHH this sucks Angel Cuan has been terrible this year.  Just way too hittable. Not losing faith in him, but he isn’t exactly making me look good by saying he could rise quickly on prospect losts.
