6-12-12 - Daily Mets Minors Report

Mets:

Mets fans just amaze me

I spent three days on Twitter reading hundreds of tweets saying that the Mets suck in some form, shape, or color.

Last night, Ike Davis hits a home run and look Ma, I’m king of the world!

Amazing.

3B Shawn Bowman – AAA-Jacksonville - .258/.324/.396/.720, 5-HR, 62-K

SP Mike Antonini – AAA-Albuquerque – 1-4, 4.56

And you think you had a bad day. The Mets cut Thomas de Wolf. He’s trying to hook up with an Indy team and the USA takes away his visa… attention scouts… save this man!!!!

Former Mets VP Tony Bernazard, who oversaw the farm system under Omar Minaya, is now working as a liaison to players for agent Scott Boras

AAA – Buffalo:

RP Josh Edgin went into Tuesday’s game - last 16.1IP, 1.65ERA, 17K, 5BB, most appearances in IL since 5/13

Looks like 1B Josh Satin’s bat is getting pissed again. Hit his 4^th home run.  

AA-Binghamton:  

RHP Zack Wheeler last 4 Double-A starts: 29 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 1 HR (only one allowed all year), 10 BB, 30 SO. Avg game score: 74

OF Dustin Martin transferred from Buffalo (AAA) to Binghamton (AA)

The Tuesday game was rained out. There will be a Wednesday doubleheader beginning at 5:35pm.

A+ - St. Lucie: -  

Another night at second base for Wilmer Flores and this is becoming much more than day-to-day. Flores’ bat is ready to bolt to AA, and we all know he’s not a candidate for a corner outfield position because of his lack of speed. The current failure of Reese Havens and the suspension of Danny Muno has caused the Mets to look for other future alternatives to Daniel Murphy. Defensively, Flores played horribly at short but carried his weight on third. We’ll watch him defensively this month and report back.

SP Tyler Pill needed (4-ER, 8-H, in 5.1-IP) to take one tonight.  RP John Church (1.0-IP, 3-ER) pitched even worse. Flores doubled in two in a rally attempt… it’s rare for Lucy’s pitching to break down this badly in one game…  CF Alonzo Harris 3-4 (.276).

A – Savannah:

The Sand Gnats are off for the third straight night, this time a rain out.

DSL Mets:

LF Johanny Sierra – 2-4, 2-R, HR, 1-RBI, .333

CL Jorge Cespedes – 2.0-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 2-K, 0-BB, 1.69
