He leads off for the K-Mets, leads the team in Runs scored with 33, and 3B’s with 4. Although he is a solid glove man, with good speed, as his .247 BA shows, there is plenty of room for improvement with the bat.
Christian Montgomery:
8-17-11: - http://www.metstoday.com/6911/mets-minors/reviewing-the-mets-draft - 11th round selection Christian Montgomery is as good as it gets. Before the draft, he was considered a lock in the first round, until he rapidly lost velocity in his fastball. Last summer, Montgomery’s fastball sat at 90-95 mph, however he was consistently throwing in the mid-80s during the spring. He’s going to be a work in progress kind of guy. High risk, higher reward.
Ryota Igarashi:
8-18-11: - http://www.metstradamusblog.com/2011-articles/august/brain-power.html - Speaking of pitchers who can't get major leaguers out, any chance that Nevin Shapiro can admit that he provided Ryota Igarashi with cars, money and strippers so Igarashi can be deemed ineligible to be within 100 yards of any sporting event in the country? No? Can't I dream? Igarashi was given the simple assignment of protecting a six-run lead, but struggled to the point of making Jason Isringhausen warm up. If Izzy had blown out his arm warming up because Igarashi couldn't get three outs, I think I would have been a little bit pissed off. Irrationally, yes. But pissed off still. Boy, you think Terry Collins is re-thinking his plan to give Swallows Man regular appearances out of the bullpen? Hell I don't think he can get Nevin Shapiro out much less Jason Bartlett.
Mike Jacobs:
AdamRubinESPN per twitter - Ex-Met Mike Jacobs has been suspended 50 games for testing positive for hGH, MLB announced. #mets #rockies
Izzy on 2012:
"If I feel healthy, I'll have my agent talk to some people and see what kind of interest is out there," Isringhausen said before the Mets beat the Padres 7-3. "I'm not coming back for 500 grand again -- I know that. But in the same sense I knew coming in, this year wasn't really about the money. It was about proving to people I was healthy. We'll just see how it goes. My wife and I will have a lot of conversations and we'll see what happens.” http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/mets/izzy_mulls_returning_next_year_rMasW3DUYMbpVxkc6OdvTP#ixzz1VOAzw1Iw
