Stock: Josh Satin, Zach Lutz, Matt den Dekker, Brad Holt, Dale Thayer




8-17-11: - Stock Up – Josh Satin: Josh just keeps on hitting, going 3-4 last night for Buffalo and now hitting .352/.416/.462/.877 in 91 AAA at-bats. He’s .331 for the combined AA/AAA year and he’s played just about every position available to him. Combined 12-HR, 72-RBIs. Only 13 combined errors in 118-G.


8-17-11: - Stock Up – Zach Lutz – Zach has been making daily headlines since returning from his third injury this season. Now, after 48-G and 169-AB in AAA, he’s .314/.393/.515/.907, 8-HR. Lutz only has two problems beyond having the worse luck regarding fluky injuries. One, he only plyas one position and two, it’s the position that David Wright also plays.


8-17-11: - Stock Up – Matt den Dekker – den Dekker don’t usually get off to a slow start, but he did when he was promoted to the AA-level. However, he’s hit .281 in his last 10 games and now has eight AA home runs in 197-AB.s His AA/A+ combines to: .274/.347/.474/.822, 14-HR, 59-RBI. Not bad for a lead-off guy.


8-17-11: - Stock Down – Brad Holt – Holt continues to stumble, now as a reliever. Last night, his first four batters had two hits, one walk and one hit-by-pitch. His seasonal ERA is a hefty 5.07 and it will be interesting if the new management chooses to invest any more time and money in this guy.


8-17-11: - Stock Up – Dale Thayer – It will be interesting to see if Thayer gets a September call-up. He’s done well (4-3, 3.02, 17-SV in 47-G) this year with Buffalo after pitching in four early games for the Mets. September promotions are either rewards or for the kids, and I’m not sure where this 31-yr. old falls category wise, if either.
