No team
assignment for P Nick Rumbelow so far. I’m not sure, with the minor league
team’s seasons ending at the end of this month, why we picked him up at all.
I’m sure we didn’t agree to a 2020 deal for him. Real weird pickup.
Baseball
America on SS Andres Gimenez 8-20 game:
Andres
Gimenez, SS, Mets -- Gimenez collected three hits in five at-bats for Double-A
Binghamton. The infielder collected two singles and hit a solo home run in the
fifth inning. He has a four-game hit streak with three multi-hit performances
during that span
Many
go back and forth on Gimenez’ low BA this season for the B-Mets. BA isn’t
everything. Especially for a 20-year old playing against players that average
over two years older than he is.
The
question here is not whether he will play major league ball, latest 2021.
The
question is what if Amed Rosario turns into a legit all-star at short? Rosario
is only 23.

Come
on… promote this guy before the deadline.

A+
St. Lucie – SP Thomas Szapucki: 6-IP, ER. 3-K
Another quality start from our top
pipeline pitcher
A-Columbia

Rookie
– Kingsport – C Andres Regnault: 3-7, 2-R,
5-RBI
GCL – C Endy
Rodriguez: 3-4, 3-R, .339
We
talk so much about Francisco Alvarez that we tend to forget about what this
19-year old is doing at this level.
Our lower levels are screaming prospects
right now.
DSL-2 – SP Ronny Rincones: 3-IP,
0-R, 5-K
This needs correction:
ReplyDeleteC Andres Regnault: 3-7, 2-R, 5-K.
5-K makes no sense.
About Gimenez and Rosario - One or the other could always move to another position.
Rosario to third or CF.
Gimenez to second or CF.
Or Gimenez as infield/outfield utility. Second base platoon.
Hopefully Gimenez continues his hot hitting and finishes the season strong, plays in AZ Fall League or Winter Ball, shows up to 2020 spring training with more muscle and opens 2020 in AAA.
How Gimenez performs and physically matures will determine his Mets future and role.
He could also be traded.
5-RBI not K

Andres could suddenly get it. Wonder if it is shifts?
ReplyDeleteAs good as the recent string of dramatic wins has been, does it bother anyone else to have in sequence hitters like Frazier, Lagares and then last night off the bench, Altherr? You are just giving ABs away. Granted, Lowrie, Nimmo, McNeil and others will help change that and make some of our lesser performing players into benchwarmers, but in the 9th inning when those were the options it was FUGLY. In the 10th when real hitters were coming up you had the sense they could actually do something. Granted Joe Panik and Juan Lagares have had some bright moments lately, but with the game on the line I'd much sooner take my chances with the ones coming back from injury.
ReplyDeleteSo where would you put the weakest hitters? Put them at 3-4-5 and move Pete, JDD and 4to to 7-8-9?
DeleteI want a steady diet of:
ReplyDeleteOF - Conforto. Nimmo. McNeil
IF - Alonso. Panik. Rosario. Lowrie
Want JD in there, preferably LF. McNeilat 2B when Lowrie or Fraz plays, or 3B when Panik does.
ReplyDeleteIf/when Don returns, JD to 3B & McNeil to 2B.
