Mack - 2019 Mets Transactions, Kudos, and Comments

Thursday, May 23^rd  -

-Both IF/OF Jeff McNeil (hamstring strain) and 2B Robinson Cano (quad strain) placed on 7/day-IL

      -AAA-Syracuse IF Luis Guillorme to Mets to replace Cano.

My only hope here is that Luis gets some quality time in the field. In parts of two seasons, he has only 85 at-bats while hitting only .200. You can’t prove anything to anyone, especially yourself, playing in 46 games over two years and averaging less than two at-bats per game. Let the kid play.

RP Ryan O’Rourke up to replace McNeil.

      Has pitched one inning this year for the Mets (0.00) and 20-IP for Cuse (3.10). Could do worse.

            Kudos –

AAA-Syracuse 2B, Ruben Tejada, wasted little time impressing Mets suits in his first AAA game this year: 2-4, 2-R, .500

I don’t know if there is anymore gas left inside him, but I’m happy that he’s home where he started.

-AAA-Syracuse LF (yes… LF), Dilson Herrera: 2-3, 8^th HR, 2-RBI

      Tejada and Herrera in the same lineup… this was supposed to be our dream middle infielders.

      A+ St. Lucie P, Thomas McIlraith, was promoted to AA-Binghamton

Saturday, May 25^th

No tranactions

      Kudos –

-A+ St. Lucie SP, Dedniel Nunez, once more pitched impressively: 6-IP, 0-R, 6-K, 1-BB (1.80). So far this season, between A-Columbia or the Cuse, Dedniel has 53-K in 42-IP, with a combined 0.76-WHIP. Prospect numbers

-A-Columbia 3B, Mark Vientos: 1-3, but has now hit safely in his last 11 games.
