AAA – Buffalo Bisons

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Buffalo 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 1 2 6 14 1 Charlotte 0 0 0 2 5 0 0 0 X 7 13 2 Recap | Box | W: Egbert (5-2, 4.10); L: Knight (4-6, 4.89); SV: Link (8) HR: CHA: Allen (1).

Brandon Knight had a rough night finding the plate walking 5 batters in just 4 innings of work.  He also gave up 8 hits for 7 earned runs.  A real killer of an outing.  The combo of Adam Bostick and Eddie Kunz had a great game and gave the Bisons a chance in this game.  Even though they were down 6 after 4 the four shoutout innings from those kept the game “in reach” with the Bisons falling just one run short.

The offense did a great job driving the ball to the gaps getting 4 doubles, two by Jose Castillo.  In a weird day where he took at-bats for two different teams Fernando Martinez went 1-4 with a single.  Emil Brown, Cory Sullivan, and Mike Lamb all got two hits for the Bisons.

OUCH Bad Ollie strikes again.  Oliver Perez was hit pretty hard giving up 7 hits and 6 runs (2 earned) in just three innings of work and was taken deep by the 22-year-old Henry Wrigley who is batting .205 this year and now with 2 homeruns.  The only good news was that he only walked one batter.   The unearned runs were due to a Hector Pellot throwing error in the 3rd.  John Maine faired better giving up only 1 run over, but the control issues are a little concerning.  3 walks to 1 K is never good no matter what level you are on, but he is going to have to sharpen his command before he comes back to the big leagues.

Not much interesting offensively from the Mets offense in either game.  In the second game Brahiam Maldonado went deep for his 7th shot of the year.  Pellot hit for a triple in the first game and then a double in the second game getting himself 2 extrabase hits and Richard Pena was 2-3 in game 2.

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Brooklyn 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 7 1 Hudson Valley 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 X 3 9 0 Recap | Box | W: Colome (1-0, 0.00); L: Cuan (0-1, 5.40); SV: De Los Santos, R (2) HR: None.

The Cyclones picked up the first loss of the short season, but the story of the night was the small lefry from Panama, Angel Cuan, making his debut in the States tonight  The young lefty lasted 5 innings and got hit around pretty well giving up 8 hits and 3 runs.  His control was still good walking just 1.  What intrigues me more is that he was able to keep the ball on the ground recording 8 groundouts to 2 flyball outs.  He is not quite Jenrry Mejia, but I can see him having a great season and rising up prospect charts.

The offense was generated from 11th round pick Sam Honeck who went 3-4 with an RBI. He hasn’t showed the power yet, but the 4 hits in 9 at-bats looks pretty good.  17th round pick and hitting maniac Alex Gregory picked up a hit as well as 20th round pick Joey August in hist first game with the Clones.

Sorry guys I am not gonna do any recaps just gonna post the boxscores fathers day was a really long day.

Prospect Update:

I’m going to add to the blog, each week, an update on key prospects that are in line to someday become big-time Mets. I’m going to do this rather than keep updating my top 50 prospect list each month. We’ll update that also, from time to time, but this weekly feature will let you know how some key prospects are coming along.

The 2010 Crop:

The Real Dirty Mets Fan – Draft And Follow 6-20-09

The first (and so far only) member of the Mets 2009 First-Year Player Draft class to see any professional game action is 1B Sam Honeck out of Tulane. Honeck started at 1B for the Brooklyn Cyclones last night, batting third against the Staten Island Yankees. His career did not get off to an auspicious start, as Honeck went 0 for 3 with 2 strikeouts and grounded into a double play. He did get one base-on-balls so his OBP is .250 in the early going.

The Star Ledger – Rain could be in the way of New York Mets and Tampa Bay Rays

The tarp is on the field and, yes, it is raining again here at Citi Field. The forecast does not look promising for baseball, which is supposed to begin at 4:10 p.m. It’s a shame, too, because an intriguing pitching matchup is scheduled. Johan Santana, coming off the worst start of his career, at Yankee Stadium, is back on the mound looking to redeem himself.

Aol.com - Jose Reyes Back to Baseball Tasks

While he wasn’t exactly off to a hot start, Jose Reyes is an extremely important cog to the New York Mets. He’s been on the shelf with a torn hamstring tendon since May 20. The Mets initially played well without him, but have since fallen on tough times. They defeated Tampa Bay Friday night, but have still lost six of their last nine games. It’s true that Reyes’ absence isn’t the only thing ailing the Mets, but he’s such a dynamic player he helps every aspect of the team.

The ‘Ropolitans – From the Comments: Update on Phillie Jerseys in Citi Field

Take this with a grain of salt. First off, we have no idea if the original story is even true, nevermind the update. Still, it could be real for all we know. I haven’t heard anything about this, so I’m leaning toward “myth” but read it and make your own decision.

Here’s the original story.
