Now I know why that
little boy was in the opening scene of ‘Breaking Bad’.
‘Horshack’ died... damn…
MLB –
Kevin
Goldstein - Had one of those super-fun
scout talks in the late innings where we figured out how many No. 1 pitchers
there are (in baseball). Ended up at SEVEN
Q - Can you sum up the Rule 5 draft in six
words or less?
A - Something that gets too much attention.
MLB - Mets:
SP Mike Pelfrey will throw catch next week.
The Mets have traded “a
player to be named later” to the Boston Red Sox for catcher. Kelly Shoppach.
David Wright - “You want to be able to win, and
I’ve only experienced a little bit of that here.”
Dale Thayer notched his sixth save of the season
tonight and first since Huston Street hit the
disabled list on Saturday with a strained quad. Thayer faced the minimum and
needed just 10 pitches to seal the deal. The right-hander is now 6-for-8 in
save chances this season while posting a 3.51 ERA and a 3.33 K/BB. http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/bullpen-report-august-13-2012/
AAA – Buffalo:
LHP Garrett Olson has cleared waivers, and is headed back
to Triple-A Buffalo
Stephen
Plezia to David J. Rubin - The Bison game is on SNY tonight so I'm
watching Lucas Duda and he hasn't done anything tonight yet, but he came into
this one hitting .275 with 2 HR's and 6 RBI in 13 games . Those numbers project
to about 24 HR's and 75 RBI over 162 games.....he is playing left field
David J. Rubin - Duda will be up shortly, and platoon with Bay until Bay is
gone. He's got a future with us, for sure. Here's hoping it starts sooner
rather than later. He had to work on some things with his fielding in the
minors- when he gets stressed in the field, his hitting suffers. He's got some
work to do, but the talent is definitely there!!
RHP Jeurys Famila makes his IL-leading 25th start of the
season tonight. The righty is coming off a no-decision in Lehigh Valley, August
8, where he tossed 6.0 innings while allowing four runs (one earned) and
striking out seven. Familia leads all current Bisons pitchers in strikeouts
(100) and innings pitched (112.0). He is also tied with RHPCHRIS SCHWINDEN for
the team lead in wins with seven.
Here we go again with
Familia. Just when you think they should shut him down, along comes a gem like
tonight: 7.0-IP, 0-R, 4-H, 8-K, 1-BB. I’m speechless.
Even Matt den Dekker (.210) got into the act, hitting a
grand slam in the 7th.
AA-Binghamton:.
RHP Edgar Ramirez activated from the disabled list
RHP Gonzalez Germen (6-9, 4.80) makes his 15th start of
the season and second against the Fisher Cats. Germen is in the midst of a
personal three-game losing streak, tied for the longest this season. He
suffered the loss in his last start to the New Britain Rock Cats in the second
game of a doubleheader on August 7. He was tagged for six runs on six hits and
three walks over five innings. Germen earned his first Double-A win against New
Hampshire on May 11, surrendering three runs and scattering eight hits over
seven innings.
RHP Brandon Morrow (1-0, 3.60) makes his second rehab
appearance with the Fisher Cats. Morrow went 7-4 with a 3.01 ERA in thirteen
starts with the Toronto Blue Jays (AL) before landing on the disabled list with
an oblique injury in mid-June. Morrow defeated the Erie SeaWolves in his first
rehab start with New Hampshire on August 8. He allowed two runs on three hits
over five innings. Originally selected by the Seattle Mariners as the 5th
overall pick in the 2006 draft, Morrow was traded to the Blue Jays in December
2009 in exchange for Johermyn Chavez and Brandon League.
Tuesday – Loss, 2-5
SP Chase Huchington did, well, ok: 6.0-IP, 2-ER, 7-H,
1-K, 0-BB.
Reese Havens was out again.
A+ - St. Lucie:
LHP Adam Kolarek transferred
from Binghamton (AA) to St. Lucie (High-A)
SP Tyler Pill was placed on
the DL.
The Florida State League announced today St. Lucie Mets
pitcher Rafael Montero has been named the
Pitcher of the Week between the period of August 6-13. Montero tossed 7 2/3
no-hit innings against the Palm Beach Cardinals on August 7 to win his fifth
game. He struck out five and walked three. Montero retired 15 consecutive
batters at one point. The 21-year-old right-hander won his third consecutive
game and has struck out 56 over 50 2/3 innings with the Mets through eight
starts. Montero struck out a career-high 14 batters in a victory over the
Clearwater Threshers on July 31. Montero, a 6-0, 170-pound righty, hails out of
the Dominican Republic and was signed by the Mets as a non-drafted free agent
in January of 2011. Montero is a combined 11-5 with a 2.36 ERA between low-A
Savannah and St. Lucie. He has pitched 122 innings and has struck out 110 while
walking just 19. Montero is the first Mets pitcher to win the Florida State
League Pitcher of the Week Award during the 2012 season. First baseman Richard Lucas was named Florida State League Player of
the Week between July 30- August
While I considered Michael Fulmer to
be the better overall prospect, and Domingo Tapia may
have the better upside of the pitchers donning a Sand Gnats uniform this year, Rafael Montero is the surer thing. The kid has 3 pitches that rank in the 50’s
on a 20-80 scale. Having seen his better
secondary pitches the second time around, I project him to be a middle of the
rotation starter, likely debuting sometime during the 2014 season if all things
continue to go as swimmingly as they did this season. http://bullpenbanter.com/mets-prospect-rafael-montero-scouting-report/
Tuesday – Win, 9-8
RP Jack Leathersich had five
more strikeouts tonight and he’s now up to 106-K in 66.1-IP. Is there any
question here?
RF Cory Vaughn hit his 19thhome run.
SP Alex Panteliodis was due for an off-night: 5.2-IP, 10-H, 7-R, 5-K, 0-BB.
A – Savannah:
Tuesday – Loss, 1-10
SS Danny Muno – 4-4, 2-R, 3B,
HR, 2-RBI, .286
A-Low – Brooklyn:
John Mincone – “I can’t believe how fast a year
has come and gone. I still hear your voice telling me to "fire my
hips" every time I'm on the mound, and praying with me every time I'm
struggling. Everything you've taught me, I carry with me every day Dad. I'll
always remember, Plan B is always better than Plan A, even though it may not
seem like it at first. I love you dad♥”
Tuesday – the All-Star game was played tonight
Rookie –
Kingsport:
Tueday – Game 1 – win,
4-3
DH Gavin Cecchini (why is he always DHing? Is Andy Chavez the prospect?) – 1-3, .262
C Tomas Nido – 1-2, BB, .272
