Saturday,
June 1st –
On a personal note… a good Mets friend of
mine for well over 10 years, Nelson Figueroa,
was fired from his on-air job with SNY. Reports are that he came to the job ‘in
no shape’ to go on the air and demanded to be allowed to. He was immediately
fired rather than be sent home for a breather.
Nelson
was first released as a Mets pitcher back in the day, was demoted to a lesser
on-air job last year by the Mets, and now this third strike.
I reached
out to him via his cell but the messaging service he uses directed me straight
to leaving him a message.
Folks, I
don’t know what his demons are. He obviously is upset about how he has been
treated by a team that he bled orange and blue since he pitched for them in the
early 2000s.
I will
continue to reach out to my friend to see if I can be an assistance to him.
Going
into tonight’s game (per Ernest Dove), A+ St.
Lucie’s OF Quinn Brodey’s 10-game stat line
is: .487/.545/.692/1.238
AAA-Syracuse
optioned P Daniel Zamora from the Mets
AAA-Syracuse
placed P Arguimedes Caminero on the restricted
list
AA-Dave Roseboom has been placed on the IL.
Dave
also is a good Mets friend of mine and he’s had a hard time getting out of
first gear this season. Maybe the Florida sun and the instructors down there
can find something wrong with his approach.
AA-Binghamton added P Andrew Church from the Low-A Brooklyn roster.
Ernest Dove will be
happy that he’s getting another chance at this level.
His
is also a return from a short-lived retirement. I would love to know who called
who here.
Kudos –
DSL-2
catcher, Juan Loyo: 2-4. R, RBI

closer, Eiker Huizi: 2-IP, 0-R, 2-K, 1-Save,
0.00
Yup
They’re back. A whole new group of names we can’t spell or pronounce.
As
Much as I can see it, no prospects on this team but an entire first
professional year starting outfield.
DSL-1 LF, and uber prospect
($1.45mil bonus in 2018) LF Freddy Valdez, hits
his first DSL-1 homer in the first game of the season.
No
one hits home runs in this league,
especially on the first day of the season.
This is going to be fun to watch.
A+
St. Lucie RP, Andrew Mitchell: 2.1-IP, 0-R, 3-K
A-Columbia
Mark Vientos: 3-4, .253
The
19-year old has now hit .268 over his last 10 games played. Sure, they could
move him, but he’s in a log jam right now… Tiberi in St. Lucie, Toffey in AA,
and Guillorme in AAA.
A-Columbia
closer, Jose Moreno: 2-IP, 0-R, 2-K, 3rd
save
