Brad Holt:


Well… it must be official since Adam Rubin wrote about it. Brad Holt has been removed from the Binghamton rotation and will enter the pen. This is the same pen he should have been in to start the 2010 season. Go back and check out the stats on his first three innings. Trust me, this guy is a pen dude.





Cory Massoni:


6-22-11: - Draft Update: - 2nd round (71st overall) pick, SP Cory Mazzoni, signed for $437,500. Slot figure was $514,800. That’s called under-slotting.


Josh Stinson:


6-22-11: - SP Josh Stinson was quietly replaced by Jack Egbert in the Buffalo rotation. In fact, he was sent back to Binghamton to pitch in the pen there.  Josh is in his sixth season in the Mets organization and surprised everyone last year with excellent pitching both in Binghamton and Buffalo. Sadly, he didn’t follow that up this year. This could be his last option.



Greg Pron:


6-22-11: - RF Greg Pron went 3-5, 1-R for Kingsport Tuesday night. Pron was the 42nd round pick for the Mets earlier this month and played for West Florida, where 28th round pick Dustin Lawley also played. 2011 numbers: .423, 10-HR, 69-RBI. He also was a semi-finalist for the D2 player of the year award. From UWF web site: One of the most productive and talented overall players in West Florida baseball history... helped lead UWF to its first-ever NCAA championship as a senior in 2011... finished his four-year career as the school’s all-time leader in hits (291), hit-by-pitches (34), RBIs (187), total bases (413) and stolen bases (77)... also ranks fifth in career batting average (.359), ninth in slugging percentage (.510), fifth in on-base percentage (.439), third in runs (161), third in doubles (46), second in home runs (22) and second in walks (89).


Jose Reyes:


All these factors point me in the direction of Reyes staying with the Mets. Now, in order to do that, the franchise is going to have to “show him the money.” And I think they are prepared to do that. And no, Mets fans – it will not be at the expense of David Wright. I firmly believe the organization would love to field an infield of Ike Davis, Ruben Tejada, Jose Reyes and David Wright. The “all-homegrown infield.” - http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/06/22/coutinho-jose-reyes-still-very-much-in-mets-plans
