I see this season on the major league level as an injury-plagued freak of nature, to a large degree...the Mets' Hurricane Irma struck them head on - just ask Wilmer.<br /><br />But the minor leagues - I have an article on that Saturday and 2 articles on the 2017 draft as well - all I can say is, come on, man, this is horrific. And since teams' rosters turn over each year in (in this case) the NY Penn League, to have brutal hitting teams there 3 straight years in utterly unacceptable and inept. I wish I could state it more kindly.

Just a brutal team.<br /><br />Then this one came along and was worse.<br /><br />Things are bad, folks. <br /><br />Need a new GM. <br /><br />The most important task was getting the farm system right, the foundation for the future, and Alderson has failed pretty spectacularly. <br /><br />Is it hard? Yes. But it's time to move in a new direction. He did to the Mets what he already did to the Padres.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-59625883155258905722017-09-11T12:26:48.839-04:002017-09-11T12:26:48.839-04:00I won't claim to know more than those who have...I won't claim to know more than those who have spent their professional lives in baseball--my second guesses are just that and as such, worthless. Occasionally I get to brag about a first guess (e.g. Sale vs Harvey), but that's (A) rare, and (B) dumb luck.<br /><br />I would like to know, however, if the mediocre at best Met Farm is due to inaccurate or insufficient scouting, or some defect in the analysis of otherwise accurate scouting data. Those seem to me to be different functions which require different (baseball) skills. SA is ultimately responsible for both, of course, but pinpointing the source failure (data or analysis) would seem to be of paramount importance.Hobiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161607087964191500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-40537429407235089752017-09-11T11:45:54.001-04:002017-09-11T11:45:54.001-04:00Kevin - Hi, and true: Harvey and Syndergaard were,...Kevin - Hi, and true: Harvey and Syndergaard were, though, both Brooklyn side shows, but the 4 innings of Peterson showed his trademarks: low walks (1), high Ks (6). He will be on his way to Columbia or St Lucie for the start of 2018, no doubt. May he turn into a Mets ace soon.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see if TJS survivor Anthony Kay starts out in Brooklyn or Columbia, considering he has never thrown an inning as a pro. I wish Brooklyn's season were more like 100 games than 76.<br /><br />Reese, so true - other than Binghamton, which made the playoffs on superior defense, pitching, and not much hitting, the other 6 teams collectively were abysmal, largely due to inadequate hitting.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-90361963632811235492017-09-11T10:20:07.987-04:002017-09-11T10:20:07.987-04:00So Sandy Alderson can't put together a major l...So Sandy Alderson can't put together a major league team and this series demonstrates he can't draft to put together a minor league team either. Remind me again why he has a job? Oh right...he doesn't spend money. Check. That's priority number one.
