AA-Binghamton
C. Dustin Houle, placed on IL
AA-Binghamton
IF, Sam Haggerty, came off the IL and was active
onto the roster.
Tom
keeps saying that the 25-year old is chip material.
Frankly,
I need to see a little more from Cleveland’s 24th round pick in
2015.
The
second baseman has hit .288 in 139 at-bats this year for Binghamton.
Haggerty
came to the Mets in the Kevin Plawecki deal.
Plawecki is now hitting .209. Also, in that deal was pitcher Walker Lockett.

If
there is going to be a red prospect that will
develop out of this GCL pen, it will be Escalona.
Low-A Brooklyn RP, Mitch Ragan: 2.1-IP, 0-R 0.93
That’s
now 5 games and 9.2 scoreless innings for Ragan
Low-A Brooklyn SP, Yeizo Campos: 2-IP, 0-R, 3-K, 1.09
Campos
has only given up runs in one of the last 10 games he has pitched in
Low-A Brooklyn RP (?), Tony Dibrell: 4.2-IP, ER, 6-K, 2.56
My
guess is that the Campos/Dibrell, SP/RP, was reversed for rehab reasons
AA-Binghamton C, Ali Sanchez: 3-4, 2-R, .298

AA-Syracuse
sends SP, Zach Lee, to AA-Binghamton
AA-Binghamton
sends OF, Chandler Avant, to A-Columbia
RHP
Daison Acosta was promoted from Low-A Brooklyn
to A-Columbia
The
20-year old blue chip went 0.98/0.82 for
Low-A Brooklyn this season in 4 games, three starts
He
then went out Sunday and gave up 5-R, 3-ER, in 4-IP for Columbia, raising his A
ERA to 6.75
RHHP
Billy Oxford was placed on the A-Columbia IL
OF
Taylor Lane was placed on the A-Columbia IL

GCL Mets, C, Endy Rodriguez: 2-4, .379,

Rodriguez
played LF in this game, obviously trying to make room for Matt O’Neill behind the plate.
Rookie GCL-Mets SP. Andrew Mitchell: 1-IP, 0-R, 0.00
A
shortstop playing first base… a catcher playing left… your top reliever
starting. Who the hell is making out the card down in Florida? Terry?

Spoiler Alert – AAA Syracuse RP, Ryley Gilliam: 1-IP, 3-H, 2-ER, 13.50
This
elevation to the AAA level just doesn’t see to be working for Ry. Frankly, his
AA stats this year weren’t much to write home about: 12-G, 4.24.
Me?
I
would shut him down for a month with some IL excuse and then bring him back
mid-August for a rehab session for St. Lucie.
AA-Binghamton RP, Stephen Villines: 2-IP, 0-R, 2-K, 0.40

Monday, July 8th –
Ken Rosenthal - @Ken_Rosenthal – Red Sox pushing to add a
starting pitcher, sources tell The Athletic. Would prefer to act sooner rather
than later. Casting wide net.
So, what if we offered Wheels?
Well,
first we have to realize that the Red Sox affilaites have been hit on a lot in
the past could of years. As of today, they only have one player ranked in the
Top 100 prospect list.
These
are three players we might look at:
3B/1B
Bobby Dalbec – big power, big arm, above average
defense… problem is K/AB. Miss guy which usually comes with a power hitter.
24/yrs. old. 2019: AA… 279/AB, .229, 19-HR, 48-RBI, 93-K, 27.76/K%
CF
Gilberto Jimenez – big speed, hitting ability
and defense. Latin player of the year in the chain in 2018. 19/yrs. old. 2019:
A- ball… 66-AB, .364/.400/.439.
LHP
Darwinzon Hernandez – a steal out of the IFA
signing in 2013. He has three excellent pitches, including a fastball that sits
at 98. His next step is to harness his natural talent. 22/yrs. old. Pitched
five innings for Boston so far this season… 11-Ks in 5-IP, but 5.06-ERA.
Combined minor stats this season for AA/AAA: 1-5, 5.04, 1.61, 55-IP, 75-K.

The outfielder from Boston sounds interesting. .364 isn't a fluke at any level though it is just 66 ABs. Speed and defense are certainly needed.
Warren, Federico, and the first Yoel are really hitting well.
If Dalbec is hitting hit .230 with high Ks in AA, I do not see the reason to pursue him.
Ryley G...I read a scout said he needs to improve his command. Can he do that under AAA pressure.
Haggerty is not a definite prospect for me - I'd have him "blue" right now - that said, he has an excellent .412 OBP this season and gotta love the speed: 104 in 129 in career steals and 14 of 17 in 47 games this year. Just 4 errors this year, 2 at 2nd, 2 at 3rd. Seems like a real utility possibility for 2020 if he can stay healthy, having unfortunately missed 5 weeks with injury this year.
That guy Darwinzon is awfully wild - including this season - unless they are confident he'd improve, we'd weary of that quickly.
Tom Szapucki 63 pitches last night - big stride.
Went to Brooklyn games here in Troy on Sunday and Monday. Was most impressed with Romero and Reyes. Genord has massive power as he hit a ball close to 430 feet just foul. The ball went out super fast.
Reese -
Yeah, I would be thrilled with Jimenez.
He would fit perfectly into the A-Columbia outfield, playing next to two more 'blue' prospects, Wagner Lagrange and Walter Rasquin.
Only Quinn Brodey in Binghamton are currently viable 'blue' outfield prospects in the full season teams.
There are no 'red'.
Tom -
I would reboot with Ryley
The Campos/Dibrell was at St Lucie. Mets used Campos as opener due to the stormy weather in the area.
John, let's hope Wilmer Reyes gives us the best of Wilmer Flores and Jose Reyes....380 so far is so good.
I hope Genord can play 3B or the OF
Let's hope he's better than Wilmer Font at what he does. :)
Any chance they'd look at Groome as part of the package back? Or does him still recovering from TJ surgery scare you off
A strictly theoretical trade idea with Boston might be something like sending J. deGrom, D. Smith for Boston's M. Chavis, Jay Groome, J. Bradley, and R. Porcello.
The collective reasoning here is simply that the Mets could use the contractual savings trading deGrom to build up an even better team, while Porcello is UFA and Bradley ARB at 2019 season end.
Boston gets a really good first baseman in Smith, a batter with unrealized potential, despite losing third baseman Chavis, who may not ever start on third base with Devers being so good.
Jay Groome is expected back in 2020. He is a lefty phenom starter and only like 20 years old.
Boston gets deGrom, probably the only pitcher who can get the Red Sox back to WS in 2019.
It's worthy and tempting, both sides.
