Daily Mets Minors Report
Date: 6-23-12
Mets:
TC says Mets dropping
to six relievers to make room for Ronny Cedeno activation.
Phil Humber has a 7.47 ERA in 10 starts since his
perfect game. Now he's on the DL
AAA – Buffalo:
Pitching Friday – LHP Garrett Olson will pitch his team-high 15th start of
the season today. The southpaw is coming off a loss against Pawtucket on June
17. In that outing, Olson allowed four runs on seven hits in his shortest start
of the year (2.1IP). On the road, Olson is 1-1 with a 3.86ERA and 36 strikeouts
in 37.1 innings of work.
AA-Binghamton:
Keith Law –
Wilmer Flores, 3B, New
York Mets (Double-A Binghamton): Flores -- who was promoted to Double-A this
week -- is still young enough to be a prospect (20) and performed reasonably well
in the Florida State League, although it's his third time through the circuit,
dampening some of my enthusiasm. I'd like to see if anything has changed in the
body or swing to restore his old prospect status; otherwise, Jefry Marte, who turned 20 today on Thursday and is
performing just as well at Double-A, seems like a better Futures Game choice
from the Mets.
Pitching Friday - LHP Darin Gorski (4-4, 4.50) takes the hill for his 12th
start of the season and first against the Sea Wolves. The lefty lost his most
recent start against the Altoona Curve on June 16. He matched a season-high by
allowing ten hits, including two home runs, over five innings. He did not walk
a batter, but surrendered six runs while striking out five. Selected in the
seventh round of the 2009 draft, Gorski is in his first season with the B-Mets.
He was impressive –
5.0-IP, 5-H, 0-R, 4-K, 1-BB, 4.11, 87/43… I just don’t understand why he’s
unable to pitch count over 90… alos, high BB percentage tonight… it’s a lot
different than A+, but we’ll talk about that tomorrow.
Wilmer Flores
and Jefry Marte put on their own “I Should Play Third
Base” contest with their bats…
A+ - St. Lucie: -
RF Cory Vaughn (.229) continued his Brahiam Maldonado lookalike contest by hitting his 14th
homer of the season, and little else… this wasn’t SP Chase Hunchingson’s
greatest outing…
A – Savannah:
The Gnats once again
threw up the mysterious find named Jacob deGrom
– 6.0-IP, 8-H, 1-R, 5-K, 1-BB, 2.70…
we’re not going to know how good this 24-year old is until he pitches at the
right level. Right now, he should be in AA… RP Chasen
Bradford (2.0-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 2-K, H-5, 1.99) continues to impress out of
the pen… multiple hit night for CF Gilbert Gomez (.306),
LF Dustin Lawley (.273), and SS Yucarybert (I’m thinking ‘Burt’) De La Cruz (.571).
A-Low – Brooklyn:
Luis Mateo, rhp, Mets: In the international
scouting community, Mateo is far from an unknown. The Giants signed him for
$625,000 four years ago, but voided his contract when they found bone chips in
his elbow. Then in November 2008, the Padres signed him for $300,000, but that
deal fell apart due to MLB's investigation into his background, which
eventually revealed that Mateo had falsely shaved two years off his age. After
serving a suspension, Mateo finally signed with the Mets last year for
$150,000, then went out and dominated the Dominican Summer League. In his U.S.
debut on Tuesday for short-season Brooklyn, Mateo struck out nine with one
walk, two hits and one run allowed in 5 2/ 3 innings. The 22-year-old Mateo had
anything but a typical development path, but his size (6-foot-3, 200 pounds)
and stuff are promising, with a 91-94 mph fastball that touches a few ticks
higher, along with a power slider and an occasional changeup. – BA
Rookie – Kingsport:
I was really upset last
night when my good local bud, Zach Dotson,
couldn’t get anyone out past the first batter. It’s been a long road for him
the past few years and I know how excited he was to get back on the bump this
season. There seems to a major pitching drought going on there. Some of the
ERAs so far this season, going into Friday night’s game, are: 13.50, 12.00,
27.00, 13.50, and 54.00… the team is last in the league with an 8.25-ERA and an
1.96-WHIP.
A couple of the bats
woke up early… SS Gavin Cecchini broke his
pro-cherry… C Tomas Nido hit his first pro-HR…
the game was suspended after five innings and will be completed tomorrow as
part of an almost double header.
DSL Mets:
LF Vincente Lupo – 3-5, 2-R, 2B, .379
18-yr. old RHP Jesus Lugo – 5.0-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 3-K, 1-BB, 1.89
