Rain/thunderstorms in the northeast are reeking havoc on Binghamton's game, while doubleheaders screw around with Savannah. So tonight, it'll be a piecemeal MLR. We start with St. Lucie, where Jon Niese had another bad outing. He's one of my favorite prospects, so I'm a bit disappointed in his run of bad starts lately. But he's got time, as he's 20 years old in the FSL.

Bostick really needs to go down to Binghamton. At this point, you gotta do a Mulvey for Bostick swap.
Binghamton 0, New Britain 6
Mike Nickeas (c) 2 for 3, 2b, K, .247 (only 2 hits for Binghamton)
Michael Devaney IP, H, ER, K, 5.02 era, L (2-5)

I'd have to say the surprise of the week is Binghamton being 2 hit by anyone. Any other surprises worth mentioning?

5/29 Minor League Report! Harper, Stewart!
Nick Evans returned for St. Lucie tonight, he batted cleanup and went 0 for 3 with a walk, his first game since April 25th. Joseph Leaper (38th round pick in 2006, 2-2, 4.18 era in 28 IP for the GCL Mets) made a spot start for the St. Lucie Mets, and didn't fare terribly in his abbreviated outing. New Orleans was rained out.

Shawn Green to the 15 day DL
Ben Johnson called up from New Orleans. If you're keeping score, that means NONE of the three young OFers are on the current Zephyrs roster. Milledge (dl), Gomez (MLB) and Johnson (MLB).
If I was AHern, I'd request a demotion...

A few thoughts on Mike Pelfrey
Pelfrey's biggest problem is Perez' biggest asset.
Rick Peterson. He preaches "take a little off for accuracy". However, in Pelfrey's case, his exploding up 97 mph FB is his biggest asset. Peterson's taken that away from him. Peterson's taken Pelfrey's curveball away from him. Also, the problem with Pelfrey's changeup is, it's geared to be 10 mph slower then his 97 mph FB. When you only throw a 92-93 FB, that change turns into a BP FB, which really renders THAT pitch useless. So basically, this is nothing like the pitcher we drafted.
If I were Rick, I'd tell Mike to go back to throwing that exploding 97 mph FB, use the sinker as well, go back to your curveball, and sprinkle in sliders and changeups.

Minor League Injury News
Lastings Milledge will be doing some running in the next few days, and is a couple weeks away from playing.
Mike Carp is about 2-3 weeks away
Nick Evans is a week away
Deolis Guerra is roughly 1-2 weeks away.
Looks like the teams will be getting some reenforcements very soon.
I, for one, will LOVE to see that Binghamton lineup with Carp in the middle of it, it'll be one of the deepest lineups in the EL, for sure. The big problem will be getting them all into the lineup together.
Coles, Negron, FMart, Carp, Stewart, Harper ...

Update on Fernando Martinez

Mets sign 10th round pick Phillips Orta
Western Nebraska pitcher Orta inks seven-year-deal with Mets
Saturday, May 19, 2007 11:55 PM CDT
SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. - A Western Nebraska pitcher signed a seven-year deal with the New York Mets on Saturday, nearly a year after he was drafted in the 10th round.
A Mets scout for the midwest said Phillips Orta could end up as a No. 2 or No. 3 starter in the major leagues in a few years.
"The more time he gets on the mound, the better he's going to get," said Larry Chase, who scouts for the Mets in Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas. "I think you'll see him as one of our bright spots in the New York Mets organization in the next few years."
That would be fine with Orta, who says his favorite player is the Mets' Pedro Martinez.
"This has been a dream all my life and today is a big day for me," Orta said.
Orta was the ace for Western Nebraska this season, leading the Cougars to the first regional championship in school history. Western Nebraska finished a few wins shy of the Junior College World Series.
Orta will return to his native Venezuela for a work visa, then report to Port St. Lucie, Fla., for extended spring training.
Chase said Orta will likely end up playing short-season rookie ball in Kingsport, Tenn., or with the Mets' single-A team in Brooklyn.

WNCC's Orta drafted by Mets
By: Jeremy Woznick
Like any kid growing up playing baseball, Phillips Orta always had the dream of being a big-league ball player one day.
After being selected by the New York Mets in the 10th round of Tuesday's Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, the Western Nebraska Community College sophomore pitcher is one step closer to making that dream a reality.
Orta, the 6-foot-2 flame-throwing righthander from Venezuela, was taken by the Mets with the 304th overall pick. The selection was the highest ever for any WNCC player.
"Playing major league baseball has always been a dream of mine," said Orta during a phone interview from Miami on Tuesday afternoon. "It's always been my dream to be a big-league baseball player and I'm very excited. After working out with the Mets, I knew how interested they were in me. I'm just very grateful to be drafted."
Orta is currently playing in a competitive summer baseball league in Miami.
With another year of eligibility remaining at WNCC, Orta has yet to make any decisions in regards to his future with the program. He hopes to meet with the Mets in the coming weeks before making any final decisions.
"I'll have a big decision to make," Orta said. "I'll think about my options and do what's best for me and my family."
Although Orta's first-day selection in the draft might have been a little surprising to some, it wasn't to WNCC baseball coach Mike Jones. Jones knew his star pitcher was drawing a lot of interest from major league scouts throughout the season, and he couldn't be any happier with where Orta was selected.
"He's a great young man and he definitely deserves it," said Jones, who just completed his fifth season with the Cougars. "He's worked extremely hard since he came here and we knew he was going to get drafted at some point. As the season progressed, and he started getting better, more and more scouts paid attention to him."
In his freshman season with WNCC, Orta made 13 appearances on the mound for the Cougars. He pitched in 62 innings and finished the season with an earned run average of 2.78. He finished with 77 strikeouts, which translated into a lofty average of 9.1 per contest.
What made Orta so difficult for opposing hitters throughout the season was his velocity. His fastball consistently averaged between 88 and 94 miles per hour, and was one of a number of things the scouts fell in love with.
"His ability to throw the ball 92-94 is his biggest strength," Jones said. "Being able to do that, at his age, really bodes well for him. As he gets older, gets more mature and gets stronger, they predict he'll throw even harder."
As happy as Jones is for Orta and his future, he wouldn't mind seeing the Cougar talent return for his sophomore season.
"We've been on the phone a lot lately over the last two weeks," Jones said. "It all depends on the offer that the Mets put together for him. If it's a good opportunity for him, he'll definitely move on and head into professional baseball right away. If he doesn't feel like it's quite the offer that he wants, he'll be back here at WNCC."
By drafting Orta, the Mets have the sole rights to him for a full year. No other team can sign him to a contract or offer him any money until next year's June draft.
"He could go into rookie ball and Class A ball right now and be successful," Jones said. "He's got a lot of talent and he has a chance to be a great player."
The Mets' Class A affiliate is in Brooklyn.
Orta is the first player to be drafted straight out of WNCC. Francisco Leandro, who played with the Cougars in 2002 and 2003, was drafted by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the 23rd round of the 2004 draft after transferring to Central Missouri State where he earned NCAA Division II All-American honors.
Jones said WNCC could have another former player drafted in the draft's second day today. Luis Perez, who played with the Cougars the last two seasons, has been contacted by the Devil Rays about the possibility of being selected.

Deolis Guerra update
Deolis Guerra is currently shut down with minor shoulder tendinitis. Though he is only expected to miss posibly two turns in the high Class A St. Lucie rotation, the Mets are being understandably cautious with the 18-year-old righthander.
“He came up with a little tendinitis in the shoulder and we decided to be careful with it,” Mets vice president of player personnel Tony Bernazard said. “We’re going to take our time.”

Doesn't sound too bad, hopefully he is back soon.

The Mets SHOULD NOT
be considering Carlos Gomez for a promotion, if in fact Moises Alou heads to the DL (he pulled his left quad today). Gomez should spend the full season in AAA, he is just now getting his power swing, he's had 2 homers in the last few games. He's got a very good BB/K ratio, you need to let him stay in AAA, so he can fully develop these skills.
Assuming Alou's DL bound, Chip Ambres is hitting decently in AAA, he should be the one to get the call. Not Gomez.

This was in a comment on an earlier post here, I figured I'd put it out on the main page.
Also, please note - the Gameday Links will be put up earlier then normal, as there is a scheduled outage at 7 EST.

A couple little nuggets on the pitching staff so far
Yes, it's early. But several huge positives have surfaced. Oliver Perez looks like he's on the road to becoming a very good major league pitcher. I won't vent my arguments over his last start, since I did that last night for a couple of hours on NYFS.
The first four guys in the rotation, Glavine, El Duque, Maine and Ollie have started 23 games, and pitched 135.2 innings, an average of 5.9 innings per start. If you subtract out the 3 short outings (2 by Ollie, 1 by Maine), you get 123.2 IP over 20 GS, an average of 6.19 IP/GS, very good in this ridiculous era of using bullpens as much as humanly possible.
Anyway, in those 23 starts, the starters records are 13-5 with a 2.52 era. I feel we've squandered so many good games, we're 20-12, we should be at least 23-9.
Moving on to Ollie. I did a strike ratio piece over the winter, let's revisit that. In his 2004 season where he posted a 2.98 era, Ollie threw 64.4% of his pitches for strikes. In 2005, that dipped to 60.2%, then rebounded to 62.02% in 06 prior to the trade over here. With the Mets, counting the postseason, his strike ratio was 62.10%, a marginal improvement.
Fast forward to 2007, even with that dreadful Philly game, his strike ratio is 63.42%. Take that anomaly out, and it stands at a career best 66.39%. There are enormous signs (basically neon glowing signs hitting you over the head), telling you Ollie's coming closer, and closer still, to becoming the pitcher he was in 2004. Will he? Well, the odds of it when the trade was first made were probably close to 10%. After Game 7, and the confidence, probably 35-40%. Now? I'd say it's 65-70% that he comes pretty damn close. And that bodes really well for this franchise.

Thinking About John Niese--good report on Niese by John Sickels
Thinking about Jon Niese
Thinking about Jon Niese
First, the book comment:
Niese is currently 2-1, 2.35 in five starts for St. Lucie, with a 14/6 K/BB ratio in 23 innings, 22 hits allowed. He's held lefties to a .059 mark so far this year, although righties have had more success (.296). He is getting a lot of ground balls and has yet to allow a home run this year.
The book comment still stands: I like him a lot, he's very intriguing, he's pitching well, and he deserves a lot more attention that he's received. I don't want to increase a grade based on just five starts, and I'd like to see his strikeouts come up a bit as the season progresses, but I do think he'll end up as at least a Grade B prospect by season's end, and maybe a B+. Right now it seems like only Mets fans know much about him, but I think that is likely to change.Good stuff. Niese is a legit prospect, but is overshadowed by Guerra, Pelfrey, Humber, Mulvey, etc. Keep an eye on him, he is also one of Tej's favorite prospects.
Fernando comes in at #11 on BA's prospect hot sheet
11. Fernando Martinez, of, Double-A Binghamton (Mets)
After a .261/.329/.362 April, Martinez, 18, found his stroke in the EL, going 12-for-25 (.480) with four multi-hit games and four doubles last week.
This was before the 4 for 8 double header yesterday too.

LAGARES SENT DOWN, EIGSTI ADDED
SAVANNAH, Ga. - Infielder Jake Eigsti is the newest member of the Sand Gnats roster, the New York Mets announced Friday. Eigsti replaces 18-year-old shortstop Juan Lagares, who was transferred to extended spring training in Port St. Lucie, Fla. Eigsti is expected to be active for Friday night’s game against the Rome Braves.
The Mets drafted Eigsti in the 29th round of the 2006 amateur draft out of Indiana State University. Last year he hit .194 in 25 games with the Brooklyn Cyclones of the New York-Penn League. In his senior year at ISU, Eigsti hit .300 with 6 home runs and 34 RBI.
Lagares was in the midst of a team best 10-game hit streak, but struggled in the field with 12 errors in 22 games at shortstop. This is the first full season of minor league baseball for Lagares.
---------------
This move makes zero sense to me. Lagares was hitting ~.265 in his last 11 games. You're telling me he can't learn how to field in Savannah? This is a really dumb move if it's for his glove. Greg Veloz is still up, hitting around .100, and Lagares gets sent down? Stupid, pure stupidity.
