Josh Satin, More Satin, Eric Beaulac, K-Rod, Mets Bonuses

Josh Satin:


7-12-11: - mets360.  In his last 10 games, 2B Josh Satin is batting .406/.537/.781 over 40 PA. For the season, Satin has a .967 OPS in 85 games for Double-A Binghamton. Satin earned a callup to Binghamton last year and in 332 PA for the B-Mets he had a .308/.395/.472 line. He has bettered all three of his slash line totals this year and seems likely to get promoted to Triple-A before the season is over. A sixth-round draft pick of the Mets in 2008, Satin has hit wherever he’s been. A two-time Cape Cod League All-Star, Satin played four years at Cal and in his senior season he led the Bears with a .379 AVG and finished second on the club with 18 HR. He was a first-team All Pac-10 selection and third team All-American by Collegiate Baseball


7-13-11: - http://www.pressconnects.com/article/20110712/SPORTS/107120363/Binghamton-Mets-Satin-continues-smooth-rise  - Satin, who is 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds with black hair and thick eyebrows that peek out at the pitcher from under his batting helmet, is having one of the best offensive seasons of any player in the Eastern League. The 26-year-old right-handed hitting native of Hidden Hills, California, leads the B-Mets in batting average (.326), doubles (32), hits (99), RBIs (56), walks (53), on-base percentage (.425) and slugging percentage (.543). He's also among the league leaders in doubles (first), on-base percentage (second), batting average (third), walks (third), RBIs (fifth) and hits (sixth).



Eric Beaulac:


7-12-11: - You think Greg Peavey had a tough night yesterday? Well, Eric Beaulac started for the GCL Mets on Tuesday for his first rehab start… 0.2-IP, 1-H… not bad, huh? Well, there also was 4-BB and 5-ER, producing a 67.50 ERA. This is why they call it rehab.


Francisco Rodriguez (now dated...)


If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past five months, you know that K-Rod is on pace to reach the 55 finishes needed for a $17.5M option to automatically vest. Even if the Mets could afford to pay that option, it’s nonsensical — no closer is worth that kind of dough, particularly for a team in rebuilding mode. So, Sandy Alderson’s #1 priority between now and September is to find a taker for K-Rod — most likely a team in need of a setup man. And yes, Frankie could be moved post-deadline, since his contract almost guarantees he’ll pass through waivers. - http://www.metstoday.com/6684/opinion-and-analysis/who-will-the-mets-shop-this-month
