 8-28-11: - Stock Up – OF Alonzo Harris – There just isn’t that many games that a Met minor leaguer hits two home runs in one game, but Sand Gnats’s Zo Harris pulled it off last night. Harris has had a frustrating Mets career so far and keeps falling behind in the outfield pecking order. We’ll see if a game like this gets him ending strong for the season.

8-28-11: - Stock Up – SP Rafael Montero – We recently added Montero to a prominent position on “The Keepers” list, and last night’s outing proved why that was done: 5.0-IP, 0-R, 4-H, 4-K, 0-BB. His stats for the season are: 7-G, 1-2, 1.45, 1.09, 32-K, 31.0-IP, 6-BB, .308-BABIP, 2.41-FIP.

8-28-11: - Stock Up – SP – Erik Goeddel – Eric continues to finish the season strong for the Sand Gnats putting up the following stats last night: 6.0-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 8-K, 3-BB. Goeddel’s combined stats at this point: 17-G, 15-St, 3-4. 3.08, 67-K, 20-BB, 73.0-IP.

8-28-11: - Stock Up: - RP – Eric Beaulac - This is a complete re-invention of a pitcher going in the wrong directly. Very quietly, Beaulac has become a very successful relief pitcher this year for St. Lucie. Eric went up the ladder all the way to Binghamton as a starter, but there simply is too much projected SP talent ahead of him. So, he started over this year with the GCL team and, now after ten relief appearances for Lucy, has a stat line of 0-0, 2.81. WHIP still too high (1.63), but he’ll work on that.

8-28-11 – Stock Up: - OF Gilbert Gomez – This is weird. I had a working title on my notes page entitled “Is Gilbert Gomez the new Cory Vaughn’? It was going to be a post that was pro-Gilbert, but, at the same time, designed to light a fire under a player I like and is going through his second slump of the year. So, what do BOTH of them do today? They both hit two home runs in the same game. Weird.
