Seems like every single day Luis
Guillorme does something to impress.
More great defense last night and clutch hitting against the shift.

Not
sure I would refer to him as the Anti-Muno as Tom did the other day, but he
has been a big bright spot this year.
Updated “Alternate” prospect list.
When I put this together originally, I was trying to
highlight players that others may have missed.
This update includes a couple of the minor league free agents that
impressed this spring, the recent draft picks and international signings. Also, taking off Andres
Gimenez and David
Peterson. They are in the bigs and
have impressed.
First the Minor League Free Agents that impressed this
spring:
Johneshwy
Fargas, CF, impressed this spring with his speed, his outfield play and
hitting for the
cycle one game. He stole 50 bases
last year in AA Richmond. I would have
thought the Mets would give him a shot before trading prospect Jordan
Humphreys for Billy Hamilton, but you have to like what Billy has given the
Mets so far.
Catcher David
Rodriguez also impressed this spring with both his catching and hitting
skills.
You have to love the recent high-end draft picks, CF Pete
Crow Armstrong; RHP J.T. Ginn
and OF Isaiah
Greene. We criticize
Brody when we makes trades and or lets people go – but just about everyone
likes what he did the last two years in the draft.
Also,
as Mack pointed out last month. International
Free Agent Richard Brito is a RHP who has been clocked at 101-102. Another solid
signing.
With that in mind, here is the
updated list:
1. LHSP Kevin
Smith; 2. SS Wilmer
Reyes; 3. C/1B Patrick

12. OF Isaiah
Greene; 13. LHSP Thomas
Szapucki; 14. RHSP Harol
Gonzalez; 15. RHSP Garrison
Bryant; 16. RHSP Josh
Wolf; 17. RHP Richard Brito; 18. Robert Dominguez RHP; 19. Alexander Ramirez OF; 20. RF Freddy

21. C Ali

Could Luis be leaving any more of an indelible impression than he already has? Quietly sensational.
Sad that Jake Disease hit, as he lost another win due to faltering pen work.
Diaz walks in the tying run then fans 4 straight.
Conforto bomb was sweet to watch.
Top 50 prospect lists are so hard to do and update in this environment.
Tylor Megill, though, wherever you are, you are still on my prospect list! I expect big things from the big guy in 2021.
Something in last night's Box caught my eye:
Betances came in to start the 8th with a 2-run lead, promptly loaded the bases and was rightly charged with the 2 tying runs. Yet he was given credit for a HOLD!
What exactly did he "hold", except possibly his own throat?
Good point Bill. I guess because when he came in the Mets had the lead and when he left, they had the lead. He is charged with the tying runs yet he gets the hold and Diaz the Blown Save. Diaz then gets the win instead of Jacob deGrom. At some point they need to to revise these rules.
John,
Thank you for updating your prospect list.
Bill, agree on Betances' HOLD. It left us, as it so often does, holding our breath as relievers sabotage Jake.
One pitch he hit a batter on was nuts, but also technically a HBP. The lefty hitter was brushed back by an inside pitch, did not back up much, and the blouse of his shirt was several inches in front of his body and the ball hit that. The ball probably missed his body by 4-6 inches. To me that is not a true HBP, although the rules say yes.
The rules also say something about the batter being required to get out of the way, but that hasn't been enforced since Don Drysdale's scoreless inning streak was apparently ended on a bases-loaded HBP. The ump ruled it was not a HBP because the batter stood his ground.
That was before the Mets were born, and I haven't seen it called since.
