Luis Mateo,


8-3-11: - Stock Up – 8-3-11 – Mateo was a big time international signee last May and the Mets gave him a $150,000 bonus. I haven’t followed the DSL league much this season because just about everything is premature at that level. I did peek in at Mateo and the stats look fantastic: 5-1, 1.46, 0.65, 49.1-IP, 61-K, and only 3-BB. This is a first year DSL player that is 21, so it’s nice to see someone finish school for a change and tell the truth about their age.


Travis Taijeron:


8-3-11: - Stock Up – Taijeron (pronounced “Tyrone”) had two more hits today for Brooklyn raising his 2011 batting stats to: .303/.415/.598/1.104, 7-HR, 29-RBI. Travis was a home run machine out of Cal Poly and may be a diamond in the rough. We’ll keep an eye on him.


Greg Peavey:


8-3-11: - Stock Up – Peavey continues to pitch below the hype radar (hypdar). He went into Wednesday’s game 10-4 combined for A/A+ and had pitched 5-of-7 A+ starts with 1-ER or less. Well, he did it again on Wednesday, pitching a seven inning complete game shutout. Greg had a couple of rocky outings earlier this season for St. Lucie, but he has easily passed the rotation test while, at the same time, leaving all the prospect hype… err… hypdar… to others.


Ryan Fraser:


8-3-11: - Stock Up - We first started writing about Ryan when he was a successful closer last season for Brooklyn. This year he’s attempting to master starting for Savannah, and if Wednesday at Savannah was any indication, the Mets may have another starter to drool over: 5.0-IP, 0-R, 3-H, 5-K, 3.44. This was Fraser’s 22nd outing this year for the Sand Gnats and he’s an easy choice to begin next spring in the St. Lucie rotation.
