A Peek At Ponies –
Prospect
wise, there are five of them on this team.
SP
P.J. Conlon, C Tomas
Nido, SS Luis Guillorme, 3B David Thompson, and OF Kevin
Kaczmarski have, in my opinion, a future in the majors. My guess is
Guillorme could be the first to move on to Las Vegas, but only if Amed Rosario is called up by the Mets. I expect the
rest of these guys to stay where they are for now.
Some
players currently playing above expectations are starter Mickey Jannis, a bunch of relievers (Tim Peterson, Kyle Regnault, Scarlyn Reyes, Alberto
Baldonado, Kelly Secret), 1B-DH Matt Oberste,
and OF Kevin Taylor. Look for both Jannis and
Taylor to move to Vegas soon.
The guy that needs to get going here is third baseman Thompson. He's blocked in Vegas by emergency third baseman Phillip Evans and he is beginning to be pushed by Jhoan Urena in St. Lucie. The Mets love Thompson but they always expected more from Urena, who is finally starting to show why the Mets signed him for $425K in the 2011-12 draft signing period.

The Kingsport Mets new coaching staff
Let’s Go To The Telephone –
The
team has been struggling. It’s been a playoff favorite and some have predicted them
to win their division this year, but they have gotten off to a bad start due to
poor hitting, shoddy defense, and timely injuries to key starters.
In
addition, there has been pressure to call up their top prospect from their AAA
team and hopefully shake things up.
Sound
like someone we root for?
Well,
it’s not and we’re not talking about Amed Rosario.
It’s the San Francisco Giants and the rookie prospect that is now in the San
Fran clubhouse is 21-year old infielder Christian
Arroyo.
Why
does it once again seem that the only team that wants their top prospects to
age a little more are the Mets?
You
know Michael Conforto is only here because others
got injured and all he’s doing is posting a top 10 NL batting average.
I
just don’t know sometimes.

Were bad AND boring which is a terrible thing to be and we know management will wait to get another year of service time for Rosario and Smith before they call em up but will a sweep of us by the Nats this weekend force the issue? At least TC has confidence in Reyes at the lead-off spot so we can rest a little easier.
And, if you think it is tough watching this stuff, trying writing about it!
There is a fine line between good and terrible. The Mets have crossed that line. REALLY crossed that line.
I did an update on my Old Man Hitting Tracker series for noon today. Trump would absolutely fire Reyes and Grandy. We should at least cut Reyes, bench Grandy, and call up Rosario. Sandy fiddles, Rome burns.
I have comments regarding my Mets' Minors Studs and Duds, scheduled for tomorrow at 8 AM. Somehow Tebow made his way into the article!
Does anyone have a defibrillator for this sorry team? When the heck does Brooklyn Cyclones baseball start, anyway?
Too many decisions about this club are made on the basis of money.
Rosario and Smith aren't called up; Sandy sticks with starting the high-salaried, low-performance players because, if he doesn't, he will hear much whining from the owners.
A winning team makes more money.
The 12 days to guarantee another full year of service time for Rosario has already passed. Unless the plan is to keep him in the minors all year and the first 12 days of next season he's not saving any money by waiting.
This team's first mission is to win. its second is to make money. The continued use of Grandy and Reyes greatly has increased the chances of lost ticket revenues that would make up for Grandy's salary easily. Pull the trigger, Sandy...at least bench Grandy.
WHY, OH WHY do we have to play these two every day, with their complete pack of offense, when the team is losing daily due to a complete lack of offense.
Play only one of the two, if any, each game. Let another hitter see if they can hit. Can't win if you don't hit.
'A winning team makes more money."
This is far too sensible.
Why don't you all take a deep breath and let the professionals do there jobs without heckling them. Because as soon as they start doing good again you will be praising the guys your complaining about.It must be nice to be on top like you guys all the time.
Are we on top? Wow.
