US Sec. of Defense
Panetta just landed in Cam Ranh Bay
-he’s
a little late…
Mets:
Mistermet
- The loss of Chris Schwinden to the Blue Jays serves to remind me
that all we are is Dust In The Schwind.
Jay Horwitz - “Even I’m a little bit overwhelmed by the
reaction. It’s almost that ‘Now-I-can-die-in-peace’ type of thing.’’
Pedro Beato will join the Mets today.
Chris
Schwinden has reported to Las Vegas. Tough gig.
Texas released RHP Sean Green
AAA – Buffalo:
1B-IF Josh Satin was sent to Flushing and replaced on the
roster by P Manny Acosta. Also, SS Ruben Tejada joins Buffalo today.
Mr. Harvey pitched
tonight. His goal was to win, but his job is to mix up his pitches and add new
ways to get people out. The coaches know he can pound the zone with certain
pitches, but, simply put, the kid isn’t ready let for the big leagues. He has
to hit the right side of the corners on all his secondary pitches.
A perfect example was
his four walks in the first two innings. It was balanced with three strikeouts
and no runs scored. Pitch count cost him early: 4.0-IP, 5-K, 5-BB, 4-H, 0-R,
3.69. Excellent.
AA-Binghamton:
RP Kyle Allen joined RP Scott
Moviel on the inactive Brooklyn squad. I’m very surprised the Mets haven’t
cut both these guys so they could possibly hook up with a team that would offer
them a future. They are done as Mets and insulting them this way is, well,
insulting.
MetsBlog – “Lynn Worthy of the Binghamton News says Robert Carson is on his way to New York, although no
official move has been announced.”
-Mack – this will
totally play out by the time you read this. Carson seems to be the favorite
second lefty even though he had no success at all in AAA. He’s lights out at AA
(15-appearances, 1.42), however, the 6-3 23-year old lefty should be far past
this level by now. The bottom line is the fact that the system right now is
light on lefties and Carson just might be the best available right now.
It’s Joe Bonfe’s (.263) turn to play first base today. Eric Campbell (.306) is the DH.
Greg Peavey took the bump again.
A+ - St. Lucie: -
Tampa RHSP Shane Greene shut down the Lucy bats early. DH Jason Bay (.250) had one of the few early hits (Bay
will start playing I the field today)
Five runs in the sixth
inning was the whole game. Nothing spectacular; just three singles and four
walks.
Newbie LF ZeErika McQueen (.333) had three hits.He used to be
named ZeErika Hall. Don’t ask. He was chosen as the 29th pick in the 2009
draft. He was the first signee to report and play in a Mets game that year and
played for the GCL Mets: .297/.418/.378/.796, 21-BB, 25-K, 5-SB. He was ranked
4th in the league in on-base percentage. Things were peachy until the off-season and… well, let’s let him
tell you what he told me:
“Well, I had a pretty good off season
until an injury came along in the right hip around mid-February. So therefore I went to get exams done and
that's when I found out I had a right hip impingement. Same thing A Rod had
last year. So I just had surgery and
everything is going ok right now. Right now I'm in New York doing rehab, but I
will be going back to Jackson, Mississippi to rehab. I will not make it for opening day for Cyclones
this year. I should be able to make it
the first week of August or later.”
He didn’t, but he’s
finally back now and it’ great to see him. Good player. Bad name maker.
A – Savannah:
That’s three bad
outings out of four for Alex Panteleodis. This
one hurts more since his fiancé is in town. ERA up to 4.12.
Back-to-back homers in
the seventh by CF Travis Taijerson (11th…
with Darrell Cecilliani out in Lucy, don’t look
for this kid to be in Savannah much longer) and Aderlin
Rodriguez (10th – 4th in 5 games)
A – Brooklyn:
Season starts June 18
Rookie – Kingsport:
Season starts June 19th
DSL Mets:
