51. SP Eric Beaulac
The Mets drafted Beaulac in the 9th round of the 2008 draft. 2008 stats from Le Moyne: 14 GS, 2.83 ERA, 113K/43BB, 54 Hits allowed in 92 1/3 IP, 11 XBH allowed all season but also 15 WPs.
Beaulac entered the Mack’s Prospect List for the first time in August 2008, coming in at # 19: 19. RP Eric Beaulac/K-Port – 21 years old – I’ve been told by a couple of so-called ‘inside sources’ that the Mets are very high on this pitcher. He got his first professional start on 7-15, gave up 1 run in 4.0 IP, then followed it up with 5.0 IP, 1 ER, for his first professional victory on 7-15. Then, on 7-25, he returned to a relief role, pitching 3 scoreless innings and lowering his ERA to 1.89. On 7-29, Beaulac was promoted to A-Savannah and should be used as a starter for the remainder of the season.
In 2008, Beaulac pitched for 3 teams, Savannah, Brooklyn, and Kingaport, and turned in a combined record of 2-2, 3.38, in 14 games, 8 starts.
In 2009, Beaulac pitched the entire season for Savannah: 7-7, 2.95, 1.30, 133-K, 116.0-IP.
Two year professional totals: 193-K in 164.0-IP.
1-10-10 Forecast: Listen, you keep your ERA below 3 and have better than a 1.0 K/IP ration, you get promoted. Still wished he got back to me about that interview, but it’s on to Lucy for Eric.
8-5-10: - Stock Down – Beaulac has been removed from the St. Lucie rotation, to make room for the promotion of Jimmy Fuller. He pitched relief last night after starting 16 out of 17 games, and going 5-3, 3.38. That’s some pretty damn good numbers for anyone that pitches for Lucy, so this doesn’t make much sense on the surface. One thing worth noting… Beaulac was a strike out machine last year, with Savannah, producing 133-Ks in 116.0-IP. This year, he’s down to 57-K in 82.2-IP. This just might be another of the many college pitches that start off strong in A ball, but stumple against players their own age when they start up the ladder.
4-12-11: - Down: - RP – Eric Beaulac – Beaulac is one of the many talented pitchers that came out of Savannah in the past few years. He’s another of those mid-range college starters that Omar drafted and then started them in rookie ball rather than test their college sills at least at the A+ level. Beaulac now joins Chris Schwinden, Dylan Owen, Eric Niesen, and Jeff Kaplan in various pens around the system.
7-12-11: - You think Greg Peavey had a tough night yesterday? Well, Eric Beaulac started for the GCL Mets on Tuesday for his first rehab start… 0.2-IP, 1-H… not bad, huh? Well, there also was 4-BB and 5-ER, producing a 67.50 ERA. This is why they call it rehab.
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: - #46 – RP Eric Beaulac – Beaulac came out of A-ball like gangbusters, but his path to the majors was slowed once he reached AA ball. Beaulac didn’t do much wrong; he just was like so many talented pitchers that just didn’t make the cutoff for 5 starters times 30 teams. So, he took a deep breath, came off the DL, and started over as a reliever. So far so good and I see no reason for him to go back to Binghamton next season. The 6-5 righty will play 2012 as a 26-year old so he should be able to play Buffalo. ETA – AAAA
