Tebow is a marvelous influence upon them. <br /><br />All that but it is still fun to see him hit a home run to center field. <br /><br />Statement Analysis Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607372649929274491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-39626960483362887672017-07-06T06:38:11.947-04:002017-07-06T06:38:11.947-04:00Tebow homered for the second time since his promo ...Tebow homered for the second time since his promo to Lucie, to left center. He went the other way also on 2 fly outs to left and a line out to third. He has a .500 OBP in 9 games with St Lucie. Not bad for a joke, huh? Hmmm...<br /><br />The other OF with the initials TT, Travis Taijeron, had 2 singles, his 22nd double and 16th homer, bumping him to .271. Oddly he is hitting better against righties. He now has 338 extra base hits in 2469 career at bats. While he fans a lot, he has a commendable career .376 OBP. Perhaps if the Mets sell off big, he gets called up.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-91931484446789710602017-07-05T17:29:11.453-04:002017-07-05T17:29:11.453-04:00Anyone want to bet that P.T.

I still have hopes for Lindsay, and am not willing to give up on a potential talent like him. Nimmo suffers from misconceptions about what he could have become - he remains an excellent, patient hitter who would give us a good lead-off hitter, play decent defense and bat in the high .290's with a bit of power. Not what was hoped for but certainly at the very least an excellent 4th OFer. Sadly, what we need is some top OF prospects, but all things being equal give me top pitching and SS/C talents and I can trade for Outfielders young and old (or sign them). <br /><br />Tebow remains an interesting story- he's still not a prospect, imo, but he remains intriguing and if he continues to progress like his I have no reason not to hope he succeeds!! He's by all accounts a really good guy and he's actually made the team $$$ from jersey and ticket sales so there's nothing to dislike. And it's not like he has pushed out the next coming of Tim Raines from his spot in the org so haters, get over yourselves and hope he keeps himself in the convo for continued promotions!!

He may still succeed, but he gives grave doubts in that regard - I have a very interesting look at recent Mets' drafts coming out Friday which weighs guys like Lindsay.<br /><br />Becerra was excitingly hitting .424 in mid May 2016 - and has been frankly lousy ever since. A bust until he proves otherwise.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-17892597059256582902017-07-05T15:01:45.326-04:002017-07-05T15:01:45.326-04:00Adam, I am hoping Ricardo Cespedes and Zanon can r...Adam, I am hoping Ricardo Cespedes and Zanon can rise fast. Most times, that seems not to happen. I guess they are both 2020 guys, if at all.<br /><br />I wish Tebow was 10th on our minor league outfield depth chart because it was that deep - but he is definitely in my top 5 right now.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-67208874971025537992017-07-05T13:42:34.399-04:002017-07-05T13:42:34.399-04:00I like what we have done the past two internationa...I like what we have done the past two international signing periods...

I'm keeping an eye on Zannon, Cespedes, and Dirocie, but they are all years away.

He has K'd 6 and walked just 1 in 5 innings this year, a dramatic improvement over 2015 and 2016.<br /><br />In those two years, in 57 IP, he had a staggering 18 wild pitches, 37 walks, and 5 hit batsmen. Let's see if this Colon remains better-controlled as we consider re-signing the other Colon, Bartolo, who often did not walk anybody. <br /><br />Question from the "Pet Peeves Dept" that only I may be concerned with:<br /><br />Vegas OF Jayce Boyd had a pinch single yesterday. That made him 8 for 15 with 4 walks in his last 5 games. I define that as red hot.<br /><br />Instead, Josh Rodriguez, turning 33 in December, started in the outfield for floundering Vegas. J Rod has ZERO chance of making the majors, while Boyd's career is on life support but still has a pulse. <br /><br />Why not play Boyd every day and see what he can do? Boyd only has had about 130 plate appearances this year. Still time to get that up to 350 this year.
