Good
morning.
1. Both the Kingsport and GCL Mets season
started this week. I am especially intrigued with the trio of DSL starters that
will be playing for the GCL team. Malky Mena (21/yrs,
2017: 2.13), Miguel Ramirez (21/yrs. 2017: 1.76,
and Willy Tavares (20/yrs. 2-17: 2.31) could all
develop into prospect chips over the next couple of years. Frankly, I’ll take
one.
2. The GCL-Mets have one starter I want to keep
my eyes on. Nelson Leon. He’s got patina
(23/yrs. old), but he killed it last year for the DSL team (8-3, 2.06).
3. Ken Rosenthal’s story in The Athletic Monday, which said that
the Mets will begin to try and sell of the majority of their team (minus Nimmo,
Conforto, Gsellman, Lugo, deGrom) gives us a new Mets development we can ‘follow’
this season. It’s sad to see Syndergaard name not on the list, but I guess you
have to offer up some chip to get a couple back. I also wished I had saw
Rosario on the list. I would keep him around at least until Gimenez matures. Seriously,
I see this as no more that a typical arrogant, pompous Sandy move of putting a
‘For Sale’ sign out with your phone number on it and sitting back expecting the
baseball world to knock your doors down with offers for your dumpster fire.
4. Anthony DiComo - @AnthonyDiComo - Per Elias, lowest ERA
through 15 starts of a season since 2000:
Randy Johnson 1.47 (2000), Jacob deGrom 1.51
(2018), Pedro Martinez 1.51 (2000), Roger Clemens 1.51 (2005), Tom Glavine 1.53
(2002).
5. Jon Morosi - @jonmorosi – Red Sox interested in
upgrading bullpen, but in order to acquire San Diego LHP Brad Hand, source says
the Padres’ likely asking price would be a young everyday player, such as
Rafael Devers. (Familia for 2020 chip catcher Roldani Baldwin???)
6. David Lennon - @DPLennon
- Yankees pulled in 45,122 on a
Tuesday night in June. Their attendance at year’s end is going to be huge.
7. Mike Puma - @NYPost_Mets -
Vargas pitching in Coors Field was probably only a slightly better
concept than the Hindenburg.
8. Some of you have expressed concern if minor
league players with excellent stats are being moved properly. I decided to look
at the St. Lucie pen and the stats that have been generated so far there when
someone puts up a good stat line. The top three so far there this season have
been Ryder Ryan (16-app., 1.77), who have moved
on to Binghamton, Matt Blackham (17-app., 1.90),
who has joined Matt in New York State, and Joseph
Zanghi (17-app., 1.27), who is still pitching for Lucy. He needs to be
moved post haste.
9. Chase Utley was activated on Friday in New York. It
sure would have been nice if Thor was activated before this series started.
10. There
are a fair amount of players in the Mets affiliate chain that have talent, but,
in my opinion, here are the ones currently standing out:
“Red” prospects – Nabil Crismatt, Justin Dunn, David Peterson, Jordan
Humphreys, Thomas Szapucki, Anthony Kay, Drew Smith, Tyler Bashlor, Ryder Ryan,
Jurgen Jimenez, Peter Alonso, Jeff McNeill, Ronny Mauricio, Andres Gimenez,
Wagner Lagrange, Jarred Kelenic, and Adrian Hernandez
There are plenty more players
that fall into the “blue” (secondary) category that could make it to Queens
someday. McNeil wasn’t even a blue prospect before his bat caught on fire this
season.
Still, the above list of 17
players show you that this team is far from devoid of prospect chips.
11. Mike Puma - @NYPost_Mets
- I asked Sandy Alderson in a text message if when he made the joke at the
Winter Meetings about not needing Stanton because the Mets had Nimmo if he had
any idea Nimmo would become this good. ... Alderson's response was a smiling
face emoji.
12. Good Fundies is short for Good Fundamentals -
@goodfundies -
13. It
took a while but OF Brandon Nimmo finally has
enough PAs to be added to the NL leaderboards. And boy, what an entry: 1st in ISO, wRC+, SLG%, and wOBA.
Shame he isn’t on the All-Star ballot.
14. Tim Healey - @timbhealey - Todd
Frazier on the Mets front office's looming decisions: "In my mind,
I think they want to keep this team together. It’s a good bunch of guys."
(A good bunch of guys. Let me
repeat that… ‘a good bunch of guys’. You got to be kidding me. We should keep
this team together because they are a ‘good bunch of guys’. A good bunch of
guys would work well around a Boy Scouts’ fire camp. Or maybe a local church
choir. But this is a professional baseball team that has been taking it up the
rear by just about every team in baseball. I don’t want a good bunch of guys. I
want a good bunch of players.)

I would not be too happy being the 10th pick and getting $10K while the 26th round guy gets $100K. I don't know about you.
Mets don't draw like that because Yanks are the best show in town.
Jake = Seaver.
Tebow will have you seeing RED yet, Mack!
Tebow makes me see red - but not in a good way lol
I personally would Tony Dibrell and Christian James to my RED list.
I attended the Binghamton @ Trenton game a couple of weeks ago, where Nabil Crismatt got bombed (9 - 1 loss). According to the scoreboard 'gun', his fastball ranged from low to mid 80's. don't know if it was accurate, or if that's how he typically throws, but if it was, don't see how he could be any kind of prospect.
Bing's radar gun runs around 3-4 clicks below accurate but you right about his speed. It is in the Oswalt range. Pitched big again last night
Shervyen Newton, seems interesting, very interesting. Dont know enough but scouting the stat line its impressive.
You said Nelson Leon has patina - what is patina?
