7-10-11: - Hebert pitched a gem yesterday for the GCL Mets, going 6.0-IP, 0-R, 1-H, 6-K in their 1-0 nightcap win against the Cardinals. This is Hebert’s fourth year in the Mets organization and, frankly, he’s back with GCL where everything started in 2008. Mike was a 7th rounder in 2008, staright out of high school. Assorted injuries and other matters have kept him bouncing around the lower levels and I had hoped to see him pitch Savannah this season. He’s still only 20-years old.
Jose Reyes:
Still, there is a difference between having the ability to re-sign Jose Reyes at that price and deciding Reyes is worth that price. If however, the Wilpons don't even have the ability to afford Reyes beyond 2012 - and with a revenue generator like SportsNet New York, the largest media market in the world, and a loyal fan base the Wilpons should be able to give Sandy Alderson $150 million and full autonomy to make these decisions - they need to sell the franchise. Mets fan deserve at least that much. Though, being realistic, the Wilpons have made it overtly clear that they will not sell the team unless their hand is forced. So while the Mets should have the ability to re-sign their irreplaceable shortstop, Sandy Alderson needs to know if resigning Reyes is a viable option. - If it isn't, Reyes needs to go - http://bullpenbanter.com/
Phillip Evans:
7-8-11: - At the just completed 18u WWBA National Championship… SS Phillip Evans (2011 La Costa Canyon HS, Carlsbad, CA) earned tournament MVP honors after going 9-for-22 (.409/.458/.500) with 7 RBIs and 3 SBs .
Jon Matlack:
For Matlack, it represented a great moment in a Mets career that was otherwise far too short. Like Seaver, Matlack eventually fell out of favor with management after repeatedly -- and accurately -- criticizing the organization's unwillingness to acquire offense through free agency. So after six seasons, with a career 3.00 ERA and an 82-81 record, the winter before Matlack was due to jump in salary, he was dealt to the Rangers -- by GM Joe Torre no less -- in a four-team deal that netted the Mets back Willie Montanez and Tom Grieve. So basically next to nothing. The next year Matlack would go on to have the best season of his career, winning 15 games and posting a 2.27 ERA in 270 IP. Go Mets! - http://www.amazinavenue.com/2011/7/10/2268259/the-1975-asg-or-how-jon-matlack-won-the-mets-lone-asg-mvp
Albert Cordero:
7-10-11: - http://scoutingthesally.com/sally-stock-watch-cordero-may-ramirez-saladino - Albert Cordero, C, New York Mets – In my STS’s Best piece on catchers, Cordero was listed as a catching prospect to watch along with San Francisco Giants backstop Hector Sanchez. And while Sanchez has hit the fast track all the way to triple-A, Cordero has essentially flopped in Savannah posting a .246/.284/.329 triple slash line. During the 2011 season, I’ve spoken to multiple scouts who simply don’t view him as a prospect. However, with a 5-5 night on July 8th including a pair of doubles and a triple, maybe Cordero can parlay a career night into a strong second half and regain a bit of the prospect status I once perceived him to have.
