Hopefully, that's a sign of better things to come. Still love his glove out there even with the 600 OPS.<br /><br />Regarding Muno over Tejada. The kid's not ready - he looks overmatched. Same goes for Ceciliani. If not for injuries or complete failures there's no way they are even riding the bench.IBfromWhitePlainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15210963705183083513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-31457988606880795772015-06-01T14:39:54.969-04:002015-06-01T14:39:54.969-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Steve from Norfolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13317923693948342010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-68564868364154045122015-06-01T14:07:54.210-04:002015-06-01T14:07:54.210-04:00Zach -

The Mets picked Tejada and he's doing fine right now. He came into the 3B stretch hitting .200 and has had some timely hitting this past week, including last night's winning hit.<br /><br />I'm not a big Ruben Tejada fan but it sure looks like this is a bad time to not defend what he's doing right now.Mack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-41620118116702513522015-06-01T12:48:19.173-04:002015-06-01T12:48:19.173-04:00@Chris Soto -- is 14 ABs the new standard for decl...@Chris Soto -- is 14 ABs the new standard for declaring someone a failure? Well, I guess it's an improvement over the usual treatment of guys promoted from AAA, but Danny Muno sure is getting no real chance to show what he can do.<br /><br />Ruben Tejada has has plenty of chances and is hitting .223 since the start of 2013. Even Eric Campbell is outperforming him and I think he's proven to be a failure, too.

They have gotten zero out of their lefty pinch hitters.<br /><br />Warmer minor league parks are better. I think back to Mejia blowing his elbow pitching in 30 degree weather in Buffalo.
