Mack - 2019 Mets Transactions, Kudos, Comments, and Draft Update

Wednesday, June 19^th –

      BB-Binghamton RP, Dave Roseboom, was sent to AAA-Syracuse.

                  Kudos –

                        DSL-1 OF, Carlos Dominguez: 3-5, R, .324

DSL-1 RP, Luis Moreno: 3-IP, 0-R, 4-K, 0.00

That’s five scoreless innings so far for the just turned 20 year old.

DSL-2 20-yr. old RF Kenedy Corona: 3-6, .346

DSL-2 20-yr old RP, Antonio Villaba: 3.1-IP, 0-ER, 0.00

     He’s up to 14.2 scoreless innings in six games

A+ St. Lucie SP, Tony Dibrell: 6.2-IP,1-ER, 5-K, 2.67

     Tibrell’s longest outing so far this season, maybe this guy will be our next red starter.

A+ St. Lucie RP, Darwin Ramos: 2.1-IP, 0-R, 0.69

Rookie-Kingsport LF, L.A. Woodard: 2-3, .667

Rookie-Kingsport RP, Nate Peden: 5-IP, 0-R, 4-K, 0.00

AA-Bing 1B, Patrick Mazeika: 3-5, 2-RBI

AA-Bing RP, Stephen Villines: 2.2-IP, 0-R, 0.00

           Guys like Villines and Ryley Gilliam are learning quickly that what you do at the AA level doesn’t automatically translate as success of the AAA level.

     2019:

           Villines –

                 AA:        0.00

                 AAA:      6.75

           Gilliam –

                 A+:        2.53            

AA:        4.34

AAA:      12.46

           

AAA-Cuse SS, Ruben Tejada:  hit for cycle, .359

Thursday, June 20^th –

                   So, the Mets fall into fourth place and their solution is to not go out and find some new players for this team… no, they fire two assistant coaches and replace them with three, one being a retread, and another over 80-years old. Oh, and all three are already on the minor league payroll so, at best, this saves the Wilpon’s some bagel money.

                   Pitiful.

                   Let’s say one of radio stations back in the day lost 30% of it’s ratings, which was closely followed by a loss of 20% of ad revenue.

      Do I go out and hire a new Program Director to program a new format? No.

      Do I hire a new Sales Manager and add three additional retail salespeople to bring in new dollars until the ratings come up? 

      No?

      Do I hire a new receptionist and cleaning service?

      Now we’re doing it the Wilpon way.

     

      AAA-Syracuse activated RP, Ryan O’Rourke, off the IL

      AAA-Syracuse activated RP, Jacob Rhame, and transfer him to A+ St. Lucie.

      I’m not sure if this is a rehab assignment of a move one short of an ex-coach. Either way…

     

           Kudos –

                 A+ St. Lucie RP, Jacob Rhame: 1-IP, 0-R, 0.00

                       Rehab assignment???

      Rookie-Kingsport catcher, Andres Regnault: 3-4, 2-R, 2^nd HR in two GP, 4-RBI, .600

            This is a good night of baseball.

      I DON’T NORMALLY post bad news here… thus, the ‘kudo’ title… but I can’t help but say something about AAA-Syracuse SP, Anthony Kay’s performance on Thursday night: 1.0-IP, 4-ER, 0-K, 16.20-ERA. Another pitcher that dominated at AA only to hit a wall in Syracuse.

      Send the kid back to Binghamton and let him get his head of again. He’s the best we have in the pipeline.

       We need him in 2020.

      A-Columbia SS, Ronny Mauricio: 6-6, R, .291

      A-Columbia 3B, Mark Vientos: 2-4, 2-R, 6^th HR, 3-RBI

      A special shout out to these two guys for fighting through the 26 runs that Asheville threw out at them that night.

AA-Binghamton C, Ali Sanchez: 3-4, 2-RBI, .288

      This kid throws out 50% of the players that try and run on him. Imagine if he could hit .288 in the majors?

AA-Binghamton RP, Joseph Zanghi: 2-IP, 0-R, 1.95
