Good
morning.
Ernest Dove, who has been an exclusive writers for
Mack’s Mets since he began turning out gems, has decided to split his time
between Mack’s Mets and the Metsmerized owned Mets Minors site. He has my
blessing to branch out and plans on posting there his rewarding St. Lucie Mets analysis’
on the games he attends live (like last night). He will continue to post every
Friday at 10am his weekly prospect post here at Mack’s Mets.
Also,
I have a very special Sunday coming up on June 5th, the Sunday prior
to the draft. It will include my last composite draft for the season at 8am, followed
by a list of the top (ranked) players available in the draft, by position (LHP,
RHP, outfielders, infielders, catchers), posted every two hours (10am, 12noon,
2pm,4pm, 6pm).
I
hope you enjoy my last draft analysis.

- on Yoenes Cespedes –
Progress required building a
relationship over time, a luxury that Long and assistant hitting coach Pat Roessler didn’t have last season, when Cespedes
was viewed as a rental.
But when he re-signed with the
Mets, the time had come for real progress, though history showed that such
well-intentioned missions haven’t always gone smoothly.
“When I was in Oakland, they
tried to change my swing,” Cespedes said through a translator. “And I didn’t
like that.”
The Mets, however, didn’t seek
a swing change. They sought to refine an approach.
Mack – You can
not attempt to ‘manage’ a player like Cespedes. It’s like telling Donald Trump how he has to run for
President. There seems to be very good chemistry here and it’s nice to see that
Carig has moved on from writing negative stories about Matt Harvey.
boy, that was a suck win..

Ya know, long time readers here know how I wear my emotions on
my sleeve… I just read EDove’s post over on the site that is owned by the guy
that tried for years to put me out of business.
I’m going to end my post today and concentrate on producing a
quality series of posts for the Sunday prior to draft day.
Congrats to Ernest. Hope it goes well.
ReplyDeleteEven with the walk off, Utley spoiled if for me. I hate to see my starter screwed out of a W after tossing a gem.
I'd give TDA that 1B mitt and limit his catching starts until Duda gets back...of course, if TDA beats Duda back.
We need more offense out of 7 and 8.
Even with the walk-off...
ReplyDeleteYes, don't muck with YC's swing, but can he be convinced to play RF? Laggers needs to play more than occasionally against lefties and Conforto has to play agains at least some (maybe not Kershaw or Baumgarnter).
