When a guy like Kirk went 2 for 22, he'd have 14 strikeouts.<br /><br />Actually, the entire St Lucie team has not been hitting, except for Alonso, over the past several games, so I am guessing they have been facing above average pitching.<br /><br />If Tebow goes .194 in his next 10 games, however, I'll come up with another theory! I have a boatload of excuses to tap into!Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-12208204191759192242017-08-03T14:09:54.234-04:002017-08-03T14:09:54.234-04:00Tom -

Yes....it most certainly has....but its still A ball. Remember the Brooklyn super rotation from 2012 of Cessa, Ynoa, Lara, Mateo, and Robles? How many of those guys are legitimate MLB contributing SPs right now? Answer.....0. We need to remind ourselves just HOW FAR Columbia still is from being an MLB contributor.<br /><br />The fact still remains that he is essentially a 2 pitch pitcher who has a small frame but has the velocity that can easily moved to the bullpen....Which i still believe is his ultimate landing spot. His prospect profile is actually pretty similar to Hansel Robles except he's 1 inch taller.<br /><br />In my opinion..if your trying to compete in 2018 (which the Mets are)..if your able to add MLB caliber talent immediately vs waiting another 3 years.....You do it!Christopher Sotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546022315994489757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-33046394779969416722017-08-03T10:45:13.919-04:002017-08-03T10:45:13.919-04:00 Can we ask for a Mulligan on the Merendy trade?

His 12-3, 1.78 season in A ball mirrors PJ Conlon's of a year ago. We'll see how Merandy does in AA and AAA. Conlon has been good in AA, but not great this year. Gonzalez only fanned 24 in 36 innings since his promo to High A, so nothing is a guarantee.<br /><br />Nido as a back up catcher - let's hope for more.<br /><br />Bruce # 29 - on a pace for 45.
