It’ll be a shorter report tonight. My apologies.
The Mets are tied for the 9th
best record… in both leagues.
The Mets have a better record than
the Yankees, Phillies, Marlins and Angels
Jordany
Valdespin (who may become ESPN’s most popular
player since Cecil Espy) collected his first major league hit, a three-run
homer off Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth to send the Mets to a 5-2 victory over
the Phillies. The middle infielder didn’t show any power in the minors until
2011, when he hit 17 of his 33 MiLB homers. He’s now 1 for seven in the majors,
with a slugging percentage over .500.
This
isn’t the first time I have read someone write about the sudden spike in pop
‘Spin’ came up with last year. Anyone in the Mets organization tread lightly
when they talk about Jordany. I was present when he was suspended in Savannah
and I’ll leave it there, thank you.
SS Omar
Quintanilla is hitting .375 in his last 15 games…
Oswaldo Navarro goes from Binghamton to Buffalo (not a good sign for
Michael Fisher).
The twitter world was lit up tonight
after Miquel Batista blew up in Queens while Mike Harvey didn’t in Buffalo’s game against Gwinnett…
AA-Binghamton:
IF Joe Bonfe has
been transferred for the 34.698 time this season, this time from Brooklyn to
Binghamton (trust me, he never traveled a mile).
Nobody really gets excited about SP Mark Cohoon anymore; however, at the same time, he
keeps doing things well…

John Sickles:
Michael
Fulmer is making an impressive transition to full-season
ball. He has a 3.18 ERA in his first five starts for Low-A Savannah in the
Sally League, with a 20/6 K/BB in 23 innings and 20 hits allowed. This is a
huge improvement over what he did in rookie ball last year, where he posted a
10.13 ERA in his first four pro outings. A supplemental first-round pick from high
school in Edmond, Oklahoma, last June, Fulmer has a low-to-mid-90s fastball and
an impressive slider. Refining his changeup and improving his command are the
key items on his agenda this year, and so far things look good.
There’s
no reason to rush Michael what with Harvey, Wheeler, Familia, and Mejia all
ahead of him. My guess is he will remain under Frank
Viola’s wing for the entire SAL season, and then be transferred to one
of the other teams to help them in the playoffs.

I always felt the METS hurt Mark Cohoon, by rushing him through and skipping levels. Now, I feel he's placed where he should be. Maybe a promotion at the end of the season will be earned. After last night's game, he's pitched the most innings for the Bing. starters and has the lowest ERA. I hope this is pointing to getting the "old Mark" back.
Cohoon is one of those Dillon Gee-type pitchers that definitely deserves a shot at the end of some team's rotation.
The problem is he's not going to get it with the Mets.
The pitching floodgates begin to open next season with Harvey and Familia the first two out. Add to that the chance of both Mejia and Young coming back THIS YEAR... well, there won't even be room for Gorski.
