The more they wait, more targets are removed from the game board.<br /><br />Done smartly, the Mets could be setting the value for later trades by establishing earlier trade hauls.<br /><br />Bob Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14338006282359557004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-3066410929414325282018-07-19T11:31:23.857-04:002018-07-19T11:31:23.857-04:00Peterson hopefully has just hit a rookie wall...bu...Peterson hopefully has just hit a rookie wall...but he has been bad for St Lucie, and St Lucie is far from major league competition.<br /><br />Hopefully, Dunn is a fast riser. Ryley Gilliam too. If he is the most major league ready pitcher in the draft, and is a reliever, let's get him in the Queens bullpen by this time next year.<br /><br />I wonder how fast Dunn is on the gun? Can he do high 90's, or just mid 90's? Big difference.<br /><br />The most important thing for this team, if it avoids a full rebuild, is Cespedes playing 150 games - if that means at 1B, then so be it. Pete will have to wait a while. I wonder if Yo can play 3B? I heard he did in Cuba, and he has a lethal arm? <br /><br />Sherveyn Newton was leading the Appalachian League in doubles - and strikeouts, with 40 - but was impressive offensively. Hopefully, he will not be out long.<br /><br />Mack, can Clay get us pictures of Kingsport guys that we can use to post up?<br /> <br />And what does Clay think of Raul Beracierta?<br />Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-20216710533252445382018-07-19T10:41:01.830-04:002018-07-19T10:41:01.830-04:00Bob -
