7-20-11: - Please welcome our newest member of the “Keepers” list. Montero started this year with the DSL team, where he went 1-1, 1.00, in four starts. Now, he’s pitching for the GCL team and he is 1-1, 1.96, after five games, three starts. For the year combined, he’s got 44-K and only 6-BB in 41.0-IP. We need to keep an eye on this 6-0 right handed 20-year old.
Zach Lutz:
7-20-11: - Lutz got hit in the head with a baseball yesterday. This is not to be confused with the other time he has been hit in the head this year with a baseball. He also broke a finger while in the dugout after… yes… being hit with a baseball. Lutz tried to stay in the game this time, spent a little time thinking he was back in Kansas, and was removed with what obviously was at least a concussion. I don’t think we’ll see him back this year. He needs sto spend some time away from this game… and baseballs.

Fastball was popping in at 91-92 and the slider looked decent. Control issues and some defensive butchery made things worse. He is only 22, which I always forget, since it seems like he has been around forever. I still think he could be a useful piece out of the pen if he figures out how to get the groundballs back. Everybody else in the org is adding a cutter, so maybe he should try it.
Lenny Randle:
Randle was originally drafted by the Washington Senators in 1971. A year later, the Senators relocated and became known as the Texas Rangers. He spent the next two years shifting back and forth between the minors and the majors before having a breakout season in 1974. At the time, Randle was playing second base, third base and the outfield. He played all three of those positions in 1975 before becoming the starting second baseman in 1976. On March 28, 1977, Maury Wills' son, Bump Wills, was named the starting second baseman for the Rangers following the end of spring training. After hearing this, Randle approached his manager, Frank Lucchesi, and ended up punching Lucchesi in the face. Lucchesi ended up needing plastic surgery to repair his cheekbone. For his actions, Randle was suspended 30 days without pay and fined $10,000. Before this suspension was complete, Randle was traded to the Mets for Rick Auerbach at the end of April. - 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/3
Carlos Gomez:
Carlos Gomez's latest highlight-reel catch came with a price. The Brewers center fielder fractured his left clavicle making a diving catch to end a perilous fourth inning during Milwaukee's 5-2 win against the D-backs on Wednesday, and is out indefinitely. Gomez's injury dampened spirits in the clubhouse after an otherwise uplifting extra-inning win over the D-backs. The Brewers will place Gomez on the disabled list before Thursday's series finale and appear poised to purchase outfielder Brett Carroll's contract from Triple-A Nashville - http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110720&content_id=22092042&vkey=news_mil&c_id=mil&partnerId=aw-5390077767226103302-996
