MACK - Friday Observation - Weekly Prospects Update

 

Last week, I added a bunch of players the so-called experts say are top 30 Mets prospects, regardless of how much they are pooping up the joint.

This week, I’m taking out some of the laundry.

Off this week:

2B Ji Hwan Bae/AAA-Syracuse

SP R.J. Gordon/AA-Binghamton

C Chris Suero/AA-Binghamton

OF Nick Lucky/AA-Binghamton

2B Colin Houck/A+ Brooklyn

1B Randy Guzman/A-St. Lucie

3B Roybert Herrera/FCL

 

Kevin Kernan      @AMBS_Kernan

How bad is the American League? Only one team is hitting above .250. The Rays are at .259. That’s it. One team.

 

SP Jack Wenninger/AAA-Syracuse –

As of end 7-1 – 15-G, 12-ST, 3-5, 3.84, 1.43, 68-IP, 39-K, 68-K

As of end 7-8  - 16-G, 13-ST, 4-5, 3.48, 1.34, 75-IP, 42-BB, 73-K

7-10 – 4.2-IP, 5-H, 2-ER, 2-BB, 4-K 44-BB

As of end 7/16 – 17-G, 14-ST, 4-5, 3.50, 1.36, 79.2-IP. 77-K,

 

SP Zach Thornton/AAA-Syracuse & MLB-Mets –

As of end 7/1 – 8-G, 7-ST, 1-3, 4.54, 1.46, 35.2-IP, 18-BB, 33-

As of end 7-8 – 9-G, 8-ST, 1-3, 4.30, 1.38, 37.2-IP, 18-BB, 38-K

7-12 - The Mets called Zach back up on Sunday for his third start this season and it turned out to be the best one anybody has thrown all season:

7-12 MLB:   7.0-IP, 2-H, 0-R, 2-BB, 5-K

Mets – 3-STARTS, 0.6-WAR, 0-1, 2.60, 0.92, 17.1-IP, 15-K, 5-BB

AAA  -  5-STARTS, 0-2, 3.60. 1.32, 25-IP, 27-K, 9-BB

The Mets have already stated that he will get at least one more pro start, but I have a funny feeling that he’s here to stay. Still, I will keep him in this report for awhile to see what develops.

As of end 7/16 – MLB – 3-ST, 0-1, 2.60, 0.92, 17.1-IP, 5-BB, 15-K

As of 7-8 – AAA: 17-APPS, 1-ST, 0-1, 1.77, 1.52, 20.1-IP, 17-BB, 21-K

On the evening of 7-8, the Mets promoted Hammer to Queens for what we expect to be a short stay.

And then, after not throwing a pitch, the Mets DFA him on 7-10.

Way down in the Dominican Summer League, Abner Meza pitched another gem today.

5.1 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 SO

In 30 IP this season, he has a 1.71 ERA with 30 strikeouts and just five walks.

 

OF Nick Lucky/AA-Binghamton - On June 16th, the Mets signed a player from the Lancaster Stormers. That player went into this week batting .318 with Double-A Binghamton. That’s pretty Lucky.

7-9 – 1-4, R

7-10 – 0-4

 

RP Austin Brown/FCL – Brown is an UDFA out of Chipola JC who is off to an  electric start, facing eight batters and striking out seven of them.

7-9 -1.2-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 5-K - first 2.2 pro innings…. -1.07 FIP, 23.63 k/9

 

RP Olmedo Barria/DSLO – the 6’4” Barria went into Saturday’s game with a stat line of: 7-G, 3-0, 2.95/0.94, 21.1-IP, 23-K and added to that 4-IP, 0-R, 1-H, 0-BB, 4-K, LOWERING HIS ERA TO 2.49.
