August 28th Transactions and Kudos: Jim D’Aloia, Colin Holderman, Arizona League





The Mets dismissed their Senior Director of Pro Scouting, Jim D’Aloia. After eight years with the team..

He’s still listed on the Mets site as second in command behind the VP of International and Amateur Scouting, Tommy Tanaous.

Now, you all know what a King of Mets scouting and draft picks I am (sic) and, frankly, I have never heard of this guy nor have I ever seen his name in print other than on the Mets site.

What exactly did he do? Was he a field man? Did the field men report directly to him? Or is this just an internal paper pusher that couldn’t keep up with the transformation of this game to analytics?

We will never know the answers of these questions.

(chatter yesterday online was that he was very well liked within the Mets scouting community and there is currently much unrest there as well)


SP Colin Holderman was promoted from A-Columbia to A+ St. Lucie.

     The 23/yr. old was drafted by the Mets in the 9th round of the 2016 draft (Heartland JC – Ill).

     He stat lined this year 15-G, 14-ST, 3.90, 1.32, 60-IP, 45-K for combined Brooklyn/Columbia)

     The funny part is that he may actually be being sent to a team that is going to be rained out for the remainder of this year’s season.


Mets going to play in the Arizona Fall League this year:

     Pitchers: Ryley Gilliam, David Peterson, Thomas Szapucki

     Catchers: Patrick Mazeika, Ali Sanchez

     Infielders: Luis Carpio, Andres Gimenez

  1. Mack also kudos to Mickey Jannis last night for the complete game victory in Binghamton. He gave up 2 runs in 9 innings.

  2. John, Jannis’ last 4 starts stir memories of the good RA Dickey, frankly. He’s pitching amazing.
