The Daily Mets Minor League Update - June 15th

Morning.

 

Tranactions:

 

SYR IF Tyler White placed on the 7-day Injured List

SYR OF Tanner Murphy activated off the Development List

 

Player Of The Day -

 

This one is pretty simple and iy’s good to see the return here of the last of the Mets Big 4 Studs stuck in the Minors. Yes, as you will read below, SYR LF… yes, that’s right… left fielder Ronny Mauricio made up for his early defensive jitters and went 3-5, 2-R, with 2-RBIs generated by his 9^th and 10^th home run of the season.

 

Syracuse:

 

Mets News and Links (@JohnFromAlbany) - 

Ronnie Maurico gets his 1st start in LF for the Syracuse Mets and even though he made an error on the first ball hit to him - this is the right move as his arm and speed will play well in the OF #Mets

Mike Cecconi (@Cecconi140)  - McNeil is a much much much better 2B than Mauricio. If Ronny is even, like, a little below average in LF or RF, the defensive difference is vastly smaller between them at an OF corner. It just makes sense.

 

Tim Healey (@timbhealey) - The Mets activated Long Island's Stephen Ridings from the IL and optioned him to Triple-A. With the Mets likely to see more bullpen turnover than normal over the next week-plus, he is very much a candidate for a call-up.

 

B-Mets:

 

Mets News and Links - @JohnFromAlbany - Rowdey Jordan gives the Rumble Ponies  the lead in game 2 of Thursday nights double header - a 2 run HR - his 8th - that proved to be the winning run.

Game 2: 

RF Brandon McIlwain - 2-5, .253

RHSP Christian Scott - 6-IP ER, 9-K, 1.50

 

Cyclones:

 

Ernest Dove (@ernestdove) - Mets IF prospect D'Andre Smith has now quietly played in 6 games for High A Brooklyn starting 9 for 21 with 3 SBs. Has not played many games since being drafted last year. I felt his swing last year could generate power when he makes contact.

 

RF Omar De Los Santos - 2-4, double (11)

RHRP Wilkin Ramos - 3.2-IP, 0-R, 4-K, 1.67, 1.08-WHIP

Ernest Dove (@ernestdove) - (through Wednesday)Jett Williams is 4 for 8 to start the current St. Lucie Mets series against Palm Beach Cardinals.  He was 3 for 19 against this team back in May.

3B Junior Tillen - 2-4, 2-R, HR (6), 3-RBI

Alumni:

 

SNY Mets - Matt Harvey is working for a commercial real estate firm following his retirement from baseball 

Harvey: “I’ve always been interested in the many different aspects of real estate. I will be able to learn and grow from some of the best in the industry" 

 

Draft News: 

JJ Cooper (@jjcoop36) - College baseball has bat testing before each series. But  coaches, players and officials say they don't believe that's keeping illegally tampered bats from getting into games, and the risk of getting caught is seen as incredibly unlikely.

Juicy's MLB Mock draft 2023 1.0 - 

32. New York Mets | Aidan Miller, 3B, Mitchell HS (FL) 

A healthy Aidan Miller deserves to go higher than this, but 19-year-old prep corner infielders with hamate injuries tend to fall a bit in the draft, especially when they have the leverage to demand a high bonus to sign. The Mets are reportedly in on Morales and Wilken, and have a history of just grabbing the biggest falling name under Eppler. Miller fits the slugging 3B description, as well as the flashy sign demographic. When healthy, all Miller has done is hit, including leading Team USA with a .478/.594/1.000 line. This would be a steal here, as Miller could go as high as eighth without shocking me and belongs in the teens. With over $8.4M in bonus pool, the Mets can afford to go over slot here and get their guy.
