8-9-11: - Stock Up – SP Adam Kolarek – Kolarek is starting for the Sand Gnats this week. The 22-yr. old 6-3 right hander has pitched in 42 professional games over the past two seasons, but only one has been as a starter. That was two outings ago when he struck out seven in 5.0-IP. He does have 87-Ks in 78.2 professional innings, so obviously the thought process here is to try him as a starter.
8-10-11: - Stock Up - Maikis De La Cruz is one of the DSL players that was singled out recently by Paul DePodesta in an interview with ESPN. Last night, he went 204, with a double and four runs batted in. The 20-year old has been switched around between the two DSL teams (something that was done with most of the every day players), but it really didn’t slow him down. He has hit .300+ with both teams. He also has 31 stolen bases.
8-10-11: - Stock Up - Michael Fisher is sort of the forgotton Mets infielder. Sort of the other Jacob Turner. He really doesn’t do that much wrong but he’s blocked every way from Sunday. Last night, for Binghamton, he went 3-4, 2-doubles, 4-RBIs, and raised his yearly line to: .300/.336/.500/.836. He’s 26-years old and, sadly, stuck.
8-10-11 – Stock Up – Jordany Valdespin – it’s obvious that the promotion of Ruben Tejada got this ball rolling, but Valdespin earned this one on his own. He hit .297/.341/.483/.824 in AA, with 15-HR and 51-RBIs. The problem is he also had 29 errors which the Mets aren’t used to with their middle infielders. Still, kudos to Jordy.
8-10-11: - Stock Up – John Church - Church pitched a 7-inning complete game in the back end of a Lucy doubleheader, giving up only one run and five hits. John has been making the conversion from a successful 2010 as a reliever for the Sand Gnats and you can't do better than complete a game.
