Mack - Transactions: Donnie Hart, Arismendy Alcantatra, Ronny Rincones. Jose Reyes




Saturday, August 3rd  


The Mets claimed 28-year old LHRP, Donnie Hart from Milwaukee and assigned him to AAA-Syracuse.

Hart was a 27th round pick in 2013 by the Orioles. He was a career relieve for three seasons at Texas State. He pitched six seasons for different Baltimore affiliates, including a 22-app, 0.49 season for the parent club in 2016.

His time ran out at the end of last season for Baltimore and pitched this year for both the AAA affiliate and parent club of the Brewers.

So far this year for the parent club: 4-G, 6.2-IP, 0.00, 1.20.
My spin: Can’t hurt.


      Kudos –

AAA-Syracuse – 3B Arismendy Alcantatra: 2-5. R, triple, RBI, .303

Reese suggested this kid would be a good Mets bench warmer for the remainder of the year in Queens instead of the guys we have there now.

Switch hitter… plays both in the outfield and infield… and is hitting .300+ currently.

      Worth a look see?


AA-Binghamton – RP Stephen Villines: 1-IP, 0-R, K, 1.11

            A+ St. Lucie – RP Marcel Renteria: 2-IP, 0-R, 3-K

Low-A Brooklyn – RP Nelson Leon: 2-IP, 0-K, 4-K, 0.82

Rookie-Kingsport – LF Anthony Dirocie: 3-6, RBI, .600

First game since being demoted from Low-A Brooklyn

DSL-1 - RP Edward Sosa: 4-IP, 0-R, 0-K

DSL-2 – SP Ronny Rincones: 8th start, 5-IP, 0-R, 7-K, 1.55
The Mets gave up 16 runs in this game, but none thrown in the first five innings from this converted reliever.

Lastly…

Marcus Stroman is the first No. 7 to pitch for the Mets since Jose Reyes.

Hart was just called up to the Mets.

Jose Reyes may have worn # 7, but his last two seasons, he played like # 2,

Happy Stroman is here. He looks like a battler.

I do not know why we dumped Vargas, as I would much prefer to see him out of the pen that a Donnie Hart. $$$, I guess.

Blake Taylor pitching great in A and AA this year - I wonder when they get him to AAA. He possibly could help as a Sept call up.

Justin Dunn allowed 5 runs on 9 hits and 3 walks in his last AA outing - is he really to become MLB caliber? Blake may be better than Dunn.

Swap Alcantatra for Altherr on the 40? Sure, why not.

And BTW never let any Met enter the HR Derby again...ever.

Alcantara has speed, too.
