7-18-11: - 20-year old prospect, CF Eudy Pena, is a long way off from reaching his potential; however, he did hit his first stateside home run yesterday on his 89th at bat for the GCL Mets. His BA is slowing rising, now up to .231. I expect he’ll finish the season here and open up next season in Brooklyn.
Brad Holt:
7-17-11: - http://bleacherreport.com/articles/769428-mlb-trade-rumors-ranking-each-teams-best-minor-league-trade-asset#/articles/769428-mlb-trade-rumors-ranking-each-teams-best-minor-league-trade-asset/page/19 - The Mets thought they were getting a pitcher who could get to the Majors pretty quickly when they tabbed Holt as their first-round pick (33rd-overall) back in 2008. He impressed greatly during his debut season, reaching Double-A just 24 starts into his career. Unfortunately, that's where his career has stalled. In fact, since his promotion in 2009, Holt hasn't posted an ERA under 5.00 at any level, including a demotion to High-A ball during last season. He finished 2010 with a 3-14 record, and an ERA of 8.34.
7-14-11: - amazinavenue - Pretty solid at 3rd, made a pair of nice plays. Got fooled badly on a heater his first at-bat. He showed pretty good power, pulling one left of the foul pole that would have been out by a bunch, and scorched one back up the middle later in the game. Looked to be among the more polished guys in the game.
Richard Hidalgo:
Richard Hidalgo, -.573876 WPA, May 27, 2000, Braves (6) versus Astros (5). Well, I think we’re getting at part of the reason the Astros missed their Pythagorean Expectation by 9 games in 2000… For those of you who don’t remember Richard Hidalgo, he had a couple of monster seasons scattered among a few mediocre ones with the Astros, and the Mets and the Rangers both took chances on him hoping to recapture the magic. I remember he was in very high demand at my fantasy league’s auction prior to the 2005 season: “put him in the Rangers’ park and he’ll hit 30 jacks.” Well, the first half came true, he did get the park, and put up .221/.289/.416 (.303 wOBA) in 88 games for the 2005 Rangers. He never played in the majors again. - http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/the-three-worst-double-plays-ever
Ty Wigginton:
Wigginton originally was called up in 2002. He was mostly around to replace injured players on a temporary basis. He played in just 46 games that year and batted .302 with six home runs and 18 RBI. He also had a .354 OBP and a .526 slugging percentage, all despite drawing just eight walks in 124 plate appearances. After the Mets declined to re-sign Edgardo Alfonzo, Wigginton became the everyday third baseman for the Mets in 2003. During his first full season, he batted .255 with 36 doubles, 11 home runs and 71 RBI. Once again, Wigginton was aggressive at the plate, as illustrated by drawing only 46 walks in 619 plate appearances. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/770405-new-york-mets-top-10-third-basemen-in-team-history#/articles/770405-new-york-mets-top-10-third-basemen-in-team-history/page/2
