1-11-11 from: - http://scoutingthesally.com/scouting-report-jefry-marte-3b-new-york-mets - Finally due a promotion heading into 2011, Marte should open at third base in Port St. Lucie hoping to build on a decent, albeit injury-shortened year in Savannah. People forget Marte is still only 19 and his first 700+ plate appearances as a member of the Sand Gnats were as a 17-18 year old. Count me as one who needed that reminder as just writing this report forced me to me to really reflect on my feelings towards him as a former top-100 in some circles who has already been labeled a disappointment. Is Jefry Marte a surefire big leaguer? No, but he did make significant strides in 2010 and has somewhat redeemed himself as a prospect.
K-Rod:
Rodriguez has recovered from the thumb surgery he underwent after injuring himself when he was involved in an altercation with his girlfriend's father at Citi Field in August. He pitched briefly this year in winter ball and is expected to be ready for spring training… Alderson added he hadn't talked to Rodriguez since taking over and the same is true of Luis Castillo and Oliver Perez, both of whom are entering the final years of their contracts. - nypost.
Kent Benson:
Right-hander Kris Benson has made the decision to retire, according to a published report. Benson, the 36-year-old former No.1 overall Draft pick and veteran of nine Major League seasons, told FOXSports.com that his long history of elbow and shoulder injuries have prevented him from being at his best. "I'm done," Benson told the website via phone from his home near Atlanta. "I decided pretty much after this past season that I wasn't going to pursue anything. I've been putting way too much into it and not getting enough out of it, as far as the rehab, working out, training, and then not getting the type of results I expect from myself. - mlb.com
Edgardo Alfonzo:
If only he didn’t hurt his back in 2001. If Piazza was the heart and soul of those late nineties Mets, then Alfonzo the “leader by example” as he was the model of what you would want in a player. Hit for average, power, and outstanding defensively. How many players could say they are above average defenders at second and third? Alfonzo was both, and moved positions for the good of the team twice. Wasn’t the same after 2001, but his 1999-2000 seasons were special. Was probably the one hitter on that team you wanted up with two outs and runners in scoring position. -
