August 26th Transactions and Kudos: Freddy Valdez, Thomas Szapucki, Carlos Cortes, Brett Baty





LHP Connor Wollersheim transferred to Columbia from Kingsport


OF Freddy Valdez promoted from DSL-1 to GCL

This is an end of the season reward for a passable freshman season for the 17/yr. old. He hit only .268 for the DSL-1 team, but showed early signs of the projected power (5-HR, 15-doubles) the Mets believe he will have once he develops.
Remember… the Mets have 1.45mil reasons to believe in this kid.


Kudos –
     
AAA-Syracuse – CF Braxton Lee: 3-4, 2-R


AA-Binghamton – SP Thomas Szapucki: 4-IP, 0-ER, 4-K, 0.00


A+ St. Lucie – DH Carlos Cortes: 2-4, 2-R, 11th HR, 4-RBI


A-Columbia – RP Conner Wollersheim: 1.2-IP, 0-ER, K, 0.00


Low-A Brooklyn – SP Garrison Bryant: 6.1-IP, 0-R, 9-K, 2.18


Rookie-Kingsport – 3B Brett Baty: 4-5, 3-R, RBI

      Last 10 games for the 19/yr.old: .318

Me? I would promote him to Brooklyn to help that team in the playoffs.


             GCL – CF Blaine McIntosh: 2-3, R

Mack, Kingsport is now in first. Looks like three Mets teams could make the playoffs this year.

Tom Brennan said...

Right. For that reason, I would say Baty stays to try to finish the job with his Kingsport comrades.

But Mazeika needs to go to Citi Field.

Well now we see just our boys respond after the weekend butt kicking. My feel is it was those HORRIBLE uniforms. They should open the series with a little fire in CF and just burn those uniforms...please!

I agree, Baty should stay with Kingsport to help them finish the job.
