Twitter question – Would you be happy with an Ike/Satin platoon?
Keith
Law @keithlaw - The Olive Garden
of 1b solutions
Arthur Pesner @ArthurPesner - I'm probably in the minority, but yes.
Peter Dunetz - If Ike hits he is going to play
just about every day except for tough lefties.
metspolice.com @metspolice - well if they think Ike is long term
solution he should play every day. If
they think they can catch wild card then satin
z @laceryrod
- yes, but he better get his eyebrows done..
Bill Nolan @The_GrassyNol - nope! Leave it to one of em.
Will Musto @willmusto - absolutely not
Ben Davis @Metsaniac - Fans might be but Davis has too much ego
for that IMO.
keith blacknick @Mediagoon - If Ike becomes 2nd half Ike from last year,
sure. If he is #fixtheikebug then no
Mitch Petanick @FirstPitchMitch - would be happy with Satin hitting out of 6
hole for now on
NYMets945 @nymets945 - I really want to see what Ike has versus
lefties too but could make sense if want to win
Adam G of MetsOnline - not sure, to be honest. I
would’ve liked to see Satin get a longer look. If Ike is up, he should be
starter, maybe platoon later

group of opinions, all made before the lineup card came out and Davis was back
on 1B hitting cleanup.

The San Francisco Giants have put themselves at the
forefront of the sports social media scene with the recent addition of a sports
social media cafe inside AT&T Park. The Giants made the addition less than
two weeks ago behind the centerfield wall in Peet’s Coffee. The cafe is one of
a kind in MLB and should attract a ton of happy ballpark dwellers. Giants fans
can view their own social media content from Twitter and Instagram on six,
55-inch screens, all while enjoying some coffee, recharging a smartphone,
accessing a Wi-Fi connection all while watching the Giants play ball. http://www.sportsnetworker.com/2013/07/05/san-francisco-giants-create-sports-social-media-cafe/
Ollie Perez has a 1.47 ERA with 43 Ks in 30 1/2 innings.
No one seems to be
talking about this, but “SP” Jenrry Mejia does
seem to be slotted every five outings in the GCL Mets rotation right now. Yes,
it is a rehab assignment, but it’s good to see that the Mets are taking a
little time here before moving him on. He pitched on June 29th
(1.2-IP, 0-R, 1-K, 1-BB) and again yesterday afternoon. He gave up an earned
run in the first inning and, I have to say, a guy with this much age and
experience should be mowing down hitters at this level. The day ended at:
4.0-IP, 5-H, 2-R, 2-ER, 1-BB, 2-K, 3.18. Not much for this ex-prospect and
major leaguer to be writing home about.

Steve Schreiber http://www.amazinavenue.com/2013/7/5/4495140/mets-mlb-trade-rumors-daniel-murphy-profile-second-base on Daniel Murphy –
Murphy is now 28 years old and he makes $2.925 million this season.
He'll be arbitration eligible in 2014 and 2015, after which he can become a
free agent. We all know how streaky Murphy is at the plate and he's in the
midst of one of those cold streaks at the moment, but for the season, his line
sits at .271/.309/.398 to go along with 6 home runs, 20 doubles, a .308 wOBA
and a slightly below average 97 wRC+ (where league average is 100). They're not
overwhelming numbers but a typical Murphy hot streak should prop that up a bit.
Even so, a league average offensive second baseman is useful, especially when
he adds defensive value. And that's the most surprising thing about Murphy's
season: UZR rates him at +5.1 at second base, while Defensive Runs Saved places
him at -2 runs, and that seems to pass the eye test.–
The Mets’ blogs are starting to post up
trade candidates and Murphy’s name always seems to lead the pack. Age wise
alone (28) puts him a better candidate than his projected replacement, 21-year
old Wilmer Flores, though Flores may actually play this position worse than
Murphy. Still, I have to go with the youth and the potential power bat of
Flores… if… and, this is a big if… I can get myself a big-time prospect like OF
Michael Choice.
It doesn’t have to be Choice… just someone that projects that good.
J.P. @Jaypers413 - One week from the
signing deadline. The 1st rounders yet to sign are Kris
Bryant, Colin Moran, Phil Bickford, Hunter Renfroe and Aaron Judge.
The GCL Mets (2-9) are dead last in ERA (4.52).
