Thursday,
August 8th –
Hey now…
I took
two days off and nothing happened in Metville, right.
Anyway,
let’s catch up on some of the transactions that took place these two lost days
and get back to Thursday’s movements and kudo:
OF
Jason Krizan was promoted from AA-Binghamton to
AAA-Syracuse. He was back to Bing by the next day. This is classic example of a
“paper move”. No airfare, no travel at all. Just stay in the closet until we
figure thigs out.
Justin
Houle was added to AA-Binghamton from A+ St. Lucie
The
Mets signed RP Brad Brach.
The
33-year old Brach has pitched in the majors for parts of 9 seasons
(466-appearances, 35-26, 3.32, 1.31, 493.2-IP, 529-K), the last being this year
for the Cubs.
David
Rubin reports that he was overpitched this season, with 42 appearances,
including his last two outings that he gave up 8 runs. He had a 3.70-ERA before
those two outings.
He
is a very good late season for the league minimum.
Local
boy from New Jersey.
The Mets sent RP Donnie Hart to AAA-Syracuse
The Mets transferred OF Brandon Nimmo to the
60-day injured list which opened up a 40-man slot
Kudos –
AAA-Syracuse
– SP Drew Gagnon: 8-IP, 0-R, 5-K
I know he failed miserable as a reliever
in Queens this season (15-appearances, 7.75), but he seems to be recreating
himself as a successful starter, at least at the AAA level (12-starts, 2.15)
AA-Binghamton
– RF Quinn Brodey: 2-4, R
A+ St. Lucie – SP Luc Rennie: 7-IP, 0-R,
1-K
I
still don’t know how to grade this off-again, on-again 25-year old. Original 16th
round pick by Baltimore, out of Torry Pines (CA) HS.
His
numbers just don’t fly off the table, but then every once in a while, he comes
up with one of these gems.
A-Columbia
– 3B Mark Vientos: 2-6, 2-R, 12th HR,
2-RBI
Low-A
Brooklyn – RP Jared Biddy: 2.1-IP, 0-R, 3-K, 0.00
Rookie-Kingsport
– RP Nick McDonald: 2-IP, 0-R, 2-K
DSL-1
– RP Marco Villegas: 2.1-IP, 0-R, 2-K
DSL-2
– SP Rolfy Vargas: 5-IP, 0-R, 8-K
Lastly…
(((Zach Weber))) - @ZachMWeber –
Edwin
Diaz ranks second in the majors with a 14.52 K per 9 ratio.
He
trails only fellow 2018 MLB Reliever of the Year Josh Hader (16.43).

Diaz will have the last laugh this year
I hope so.......a real head scratcher after what he did last year.
Last year he pitched against those weak AL bats (sic).
I think Brach can help the Mets
