For the second straight game, the Mets fell behind, then attempted a rally. Only this time, they succeeded in tying it with 2 in the 8th, only to see Stephen Clyne give up a run in the bottom of the inning.
Chris Mason started and wasn't all that effective, giving up 3 runs on 6 hits in 5 innings. Clyne took the loss.
The Mets had 8 hits and a walk, while going just 1 for 11 (.091) with RISP, leaving 5 on base. Kirk Nieuwenhuis (2), and Carlos Guzman (2) had multi hit games, while Greg Veloz (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .236), Zach Lutz (0 for 3, 2 Ks, .282; HBP, left game for PR (was tying run)), and Francisco Pena (0 for 4, K, .218) all took 0-fers.

Eric Beaulac gave up 4 runs (all UER) on 4 hits in 5 innings, getting a tough loss, thanks to errors by himself (3), Wilmer (11), and Marte (2; 37). John Church relieved him and made sure the game was out of reach, giving up 9 runs (8 earned, Marte's 2nd error led to it) in 2 innings.
The Gnats had just 5 hits on the day, along with 3 walks. They were0 for 5 with RISP and left 5 on base. Josh Satin (0 for 3, RBI, BB, K, .304), Eric Campbell (0 for 4, .259), Jean Luc Blaquiere (0 for 3, 2 Ks, .206) and Jose Jimenez (0 for 3, 2 Ks, .093) took 0-fers. No Gnat had a multi hit game.

Little news on the Mets here: They've contacted the Pirates with regards to LHRP Jon Grabow. No ideas on who would go the other way in any potential deal.
Also - the Phils just got Cliff Lee and Ben Francisco from Cleveland for Jason Donald (SS), Jason Knapp (SP), Lou Marson (C) and Carlos Carrasco (SP)

The Mets offense had just 6 hits and a walk, while going 1 for 7 (.143) with RISP, leaving 4 on base, Jose Coronado (2 for 4, run, K, .262) and Josh Thole (2 for 3, run, RBI, BB, .348) had multi hit games, with Ike Davis (1 for 4, 2 Ks, .307) and Jon Malo (1 for 3, .253) supplying the remainder of the offense.

Scott Moviel had yet another terrible outing, this time giving up 4 runs on 6 hits in 2.1 innings for his 4th FSL loss. Of Moviel's 6 starts in the FSL, I would characterize just 1 as average or better, (6 ip, 4 h, 3 er). The rest were either awful (5 ip, 4 h, 3 er; 3.1 ip, 8 h, 5 er; tonights), or too short (5 ip, 4 h, 2 er and 5.1 ip, 4 h).
The Mets made a belated comeback attempt, scoring 3 in the 9th, but Carlos Guzman grounded out with the tying run on first, ending the game. The Mets had just 6 hits and drew a walk, while going 2 for 5 with RISP, leaving 4 on base. Greg Veloz (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .239), Reese Havens (0 for 4, 3 Ks, .233), Seth Williams (0 for 2, K, .292) and Hector Pellot (0 for 3, 2 Ks, .261), took 0-fers, while Stefan Welch had the only multi hit game (2)

Robert Carson had an extremely poor outing tonight, giving up 5 runs on 8 hits (2 homers) and 3 walks in 3+ innings, but the Gnats offense came to play and bailed him out, bursting out for 11 runs on 14 hits and 5 walks. Manuel Olivares picked up the win with 3 good innings of relief, allowing a run on 3 hits, Jacob Goldberg picked up the save, pitching the final 3 innings, allowing a run on 4 hits. Carson, after pushing his ERA all the way down to 2, has now allowed 11 earned runs in his last 2 outings, totalling 4.2 innings, a miserable 21.21 era, and his season's ERA now stands at 2.89.
The Gnats were, as I mentioned, swinging hot bats tonight, with 14 hits and 5 walks. They went a stellar 6 for 11 (.556) with RISP, leaving just 5 on base. Jefry Marte (2), Sean Ratliff (3) and Joey August (4) all had multi hit games, with Jean Luc Blaquiere (0 for 3, BB, K, .209) taking the only 0-fer.

DJ Wabick hit a grand slam in the top of the 10th, providing the BMets with the final margin of victory, and Connor Robertson, who blew the save in the 9th, worked a scoreless 10th for a vulture win, his 2nd in the EL. The Mets had 15 hits and drew 7 walks, while going 6 for 16 (.375) with RISP, leaving 13 on base. Emmanuel Garcia (0 for 6, K, .261) took the only 0-fer, while Ruben Tejada (2), Josh Thole (4), Ike Davis (2), DJ Wabick (3), and Jose Coronado (2) had multi hit games.
Dylan Owen started this game, and was decent, firing 5 shutout innings, scattered 6 hits and 3 walks. Jose De La Torre allowed 4 runs (all UER) on 3 walks in the 6th for his first BS. Connor Robertson blew the save in the 9th and picked up a vultured win with a scoreless 10th.

Tim Stronach "started" this game yesterday, lasting just an inning before the rains came, but he gave up a pair in his inning of work, and so got tagged with a cheap loss. Jeff Kaplan worked 6 innings of 2 run "relief" .
The Mets faced Pedro Martinez (for all of 1.1 innings), and got a hit off him, overall getting 8 hits and 3 walks, while going 1 for 8 with RISP, leaving 7 on base.

For crying out loud, send him north and leave him there. Not like he's getting any younger (he's 25 1/2)
Savannah 13, Greensboro 7
The Gnats had one of their best offensive games of the season, hammering out 15 hits and drawing 6 walks, while going 7 for 12 (.583) with RISP and leaving 7 on base. Every Gnat except Jean Luc Blaquiere (0 for 2, run, 3 BBs, .213) had a hit, and 4 Gnats (Raul Reyes, Josh Satin, Sean Ratliff, Joey August) had homers. Reyes (2), Satin (3), Wilmer (2), Eric Campbell (2), and August (2) had multi hit games.
Chris Schwinden was the beneficiary of the offensive outburst, despite pitching very badly (6 runs, 5 earned on 7 hits in 6 innings) picked up the win.

Kingsport 9, Greeneville 10
Tonight's fun "The KMets pitching staff is pathetic" fact: They've given up 10 or more runs in 9 of their 33 games, and 9 or more runs in 12 games. Tonight it was Jhonathan Torres (6 in 5 innings) and Guillaume LeDuc (4 in 2 innings) who gave it up, with Torres taking his 3rd Appy League loss. After posting a 0.82 era in the GCL, Torres has a 5.79 era through 3 Appy League starts (though to be fair it was 3.00 before tonight's meltdown).
The Mets, though, as noted frequently, also score a ton of runs. Thru 33 games, they've had 7 games of 10 or more runs, and 9 games of 9 or more runs. Tonight they hammered out 10 hits and drew 4 walks en route to 9 runs, and went just 3 for 12 with RISP, leaving 8 on base. Alonzo Harris (2), Jeff Flagg (3), and RJ Harris (2) had multi hit games, while Darrell Ceciliani (0 for 4, 2 runs, BB, K, .279), John Freeman (0 for 4, K, .135), and Kurt Steinhauer (0 for 4, BB, 2 Ks, .344) took 0-fers.

DJ Wabick hit a grand slam in the top of the 10th, providing the BMets with the final margin of victory, and Connor Robertson, who blew the save in the 9th, worked a scoreless 10th for a vulture win, his 2nd in the EL. The Mets had 15 hits and drew 7 walks, while going 6 for 16 (.375) with RISP, leaving 13 on base. Emmanuel Garcia (0 for 6, K, .261) took the only 0-fer, while Ruben Tejada (2), Josh Thole (4), Ike Davis (2), DJ Wabick (3), and Jose Coronado (2) had multi hit games.
Dylan Owen started this game, and was decent, firing 5 shutout innings, scattered 6 hits and 3 walks. Jose De La Torre allowed 4 runs (all UER) on 3 walks in the 6th for his first BS. Connor Robertson blew the save in the 9th and picked up a vultured win with a scoreless 10th.

2009 MPH Midseason Report!
The 2009 MetsProspectHub Midseason Report!
The Mets farm system has been much maligned lately, with some people insinuating that the individual teams records actually has something to do with the quality of prospects on those teams. That might be the most laughable notion I've ever heard (right up there with trading Reyes because his .355 OBP = immaturity, and trading Beltran for someone with more "grit" - boy we've had some gems this season, huh?).
As of this writing, the Sand Gnats record is 51-46, good for 3rd in their division, 1.5 games behind Greeneville (Red Sox) for first place. They may have the strongest prospect core in the Mets system, with top prospects Wilmer Flores (he who looks like a teenager because...coincidently, he is a teenager), Jefry Marte (he's also a teenager) headlining a pretty good offense, along with lessor prospects Jordany Valdespin (injured; hammy), Raul Reyes, and Eric Campbell. Kyle Allen (teenager), Robert Carson, Elvin Ramirez (injured; tendon), Eric Beaulac and Jeurys Familia (teenager) form one of the best prospect/pitching rotations in the minor leagues.
The ringer laden Cyclones lead their division by 3 games over Staten Island with a 22-11 record, but very few actual prospects exist here. Sam Honeck, an 11th round pick out of Tulane (where Jamie Bruno is going, incidently), is off to a rip roaring start, hitting .320/.373 over his first 25 games (albeit with just 3 doubles). Nick Santomauro, a 10th rounder out of Dartmouth, is hitting .260/.403/.400 in 18 games. All other quasi-prospects are all floundering, with Ralph Henriquez (.208), Nick Giarraputo (.185), Juan Centeno (.179), Luis Nieves (.167) struggling to hit at or over the Mendoza line. Through 28 ABs, 3rd rounder Robbie Shields is hitting a lusty .107. The pitching staff is led by 23 year old Brandon Moore with a 1.32 era. Again, very few prospects exist, with Mark Cohoon being one of the few (2.48 era).
Down in Kingsport, the Mets are 10-19, all due to allowing 7.24 runs per game on average (210 runs in 29 games). Offensively, the Mets are a dynamic power laden team, with 2b Alonzo Harris having 7 HR, leading the team. Darrell Ceciliani (4th round, Columbia Basin) is off to a very good start, hitting .301/.393/.452 in 73 ABs. Kingsport is laden with good hitting prospects, most of them being actually age/level appropriate. Pedro Zapata is a speed burner who is hitting .339, with 5 steals in 6 tries (17 games). Harris is 20, Ceciliani 19. Cesar Puello is 17, hitting .263, though with a fugly 1/25 BB/K ratio. Pitching wise, it is largely an older staff, though they have gotten younger with the additions of Jhonathan Torres and Yohan Almonte from the GCL team. They've largely been ineffective, but there are people to keep an eye on. Besides the aforementioned, Eduardo Aldama is just 19, and shows good GB tendencies (1.82). Angel Cuan, who dominated the VSL last summer, is finding life stateside much more difficult, but his last outing was his best of the season.
So the conclusion? The Mets have several very very intriguing prospects in the lower levels of the farm system, going simply by record and dismissing all else is a very dubious, very poor way of judging a farm system.

Sam Honeck, an 11th round pick out of Tulane (where Jamie Bruno is going, incidently), is off to a rip roaring start, hitting .320/.373 over his first 25 games (albeit with just 3 doubles). Nick Santomauro, a 10th rounder out of Dartmouth, is hitting .260/.403/.400 in 18 games. All other quasi-prospects are all floundering, with Ralph Henriquez (.208), Nick Giarraputo (.185), Juan Centeno (.179), Luis Nieves (.167) struggling to hit at or over the Mendoza line. Through 28 ABs, 3rd rounder Robbie Shields is hitting a lusty .107. The pitching staff is led by 23 year old Brandon Moore with a 1.32 era. Again, very few prospects exist, with Mark Cohoon being one of the few (2.48 era).
Down in Kingsport, the Mets are 10-19, all due to allowing 7.24 runs per game on average (210 runs in 29 games). Offensively, the Mets are a dynamic power laden team, with 2b Alonzo Harris having 7 HR, leading the team. Darrell Ceciliani (4th round, Columbia Basin) is off to a very good start, hitting .301/.393/.452 in 73 ABs. Kingsport is laden with good hitting prospects, most of them being actually age/level appropriate. Pedro Zapata is a speed burner who is hitting .339, with 5 steals in 6 tries (17 games). Harris is 20, Ceciliani 19. Cesar Puello is 17, hitting .263, though with a fugly 1/25 BB/K ratio. Pitching wise, it is largely an older staff, though they have gotten younger with the additions of Jhonathan Torres and Yohan Almonte from the GCL team. They've largely been ineffective, but there are people to keep an eye on. Besides the aforementioned, Eduardo Aldama is just 19, and shows good GB tendencies (1.82). Angel Cuan, who dominated the VSL last summer, is finding life stateside much more difficult, but his last outing was his best of the season.
So the conclusion? The Mets have several very very intriguing prospects in the lower levels of the farm system, going simply by record and dismissing all else is a very dubious, very poor way of judging a farm system.

Brandon Moore had a very subpar outing today, the worst of his season. he got pounded for 5 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks in 4.1 innings, but the Conies had their hitting shoes on today, and overcame his awful pitching, and that of Mike Johnson (3 runs in 1.1 innings) to squeak out a 10-9 win. Erik Turgeon allowed one of Johnson's IHR to score in the 7th to tie the game at 8, and after the Cyclones put up a pair in the top of the 8th, he got the win. Matias Carrillo allowed a run in the 9th, but picked up his first save.
The Conies offense had 10 hits and 5 walks, and also took advantage of 7 Yankee errors, including 4 by their second baseman. They were 5 for 19 (.263) with RISP, and they left 10 on base. Dock Doyle (2), Sam Honeck (2), and Tyler Vaughn had multi hit games, while Luis Rivera (0 for 4, 2 runs, RBI, BB, K, .307), and Matt Gaski (0 for 4, BB, .178) took 0-fers.

Kingsport 3, Elizabethon 6
Yohan Almonte's second Appy League start was a definite step in the right direction. After having the roof cave in and the building implode on him in his last outing in the 5th inning (5 hits, BB, 6 runs), this time, he gave up 3 runs in the 6th inning, after 5 good shutout innings. Bobby Gagg (I will spare you the 1000 awful jokes about him choking up the game) gave up 4 hits and 3 runs (1 earned) in the top of the 11th to take the loss.
The Mets offense had 8 hits, but drew 7 walks, however, they were just 1 for 13 (.077) with RISP, and left 13 on base. Tyler Howe (0 for 3, .255), and Gerad Mochizuki (0 for 5, 3 Ks, .207) took 0-fers, while Richard Lucas (2) had the only multi hit game.

Jacob Ruckle got oblierated for 9 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks in 2.2 innings for his 2nd EL loss, but unlike last night, the Mets bullpen tonight held Erie right there (granted, it was 9-0, lol), with Jim Warden and Emary Frederick combining for 3 hit relief over 5.1 innings, and the Mets did get the tying run to the plate in the 9th inning, but Caleb Stewart popped out to end the game.

He was in line for the win, until the bullpen came in and blew it to hell, giving up 4 runs in 1.1 innings. Rhiner Cruz in particular had a very bad outing, coming in with 2 outs and the bases loaded in the 8th, and walking in 2 runs.
The Gnats offense had 9 hits and 2 walks, while going 2 for 8 with RISP, leaving 5 on base.

I know the Wilpons demand the Cyclones win, at virtually all costs (including prospect development), but that makes it very very difficult to judge players on the Cyclones. For example, Brandon Moore at 23 has a 1.32 era in 6 starts spanning 41 innings, but what exactly does it mean? Is he taking advantage of younger competition, or is he a real prospect? Ditto James Fuller (age 22, 1.75 era), Luis Rivera (age 22 3/4, .320, .943 OPS), Tyler Vaughn (age 24, .357, .844 OPS), just to name a few. And that's why I am down on Brooklyn, it's due to the Wilpons ridiculously idiotic love for Brooklyn, and the fact they have to win at all costs, resulting in an average roster age of around 2-3 years older then any of the other NYPL teams.

Same old same old. At least Angel Cuan wasn't a culprit tonight, he turned in a second straight good outing, this time going just 5 innings, but they were shutout innings, Cuan's allowed just a a run on 9 hits in his last 2 outings, spanning 11 innings, after getting off to a miserable start in his first 5 stateside starts. Zach Von Tersch allowed 3 runs in 0.1 innings to blow the save, and Brian Needham allowed 3 runs in 1.2 innings to take the loss. GOOOO PITCHERS!
The offense kept on keeping on, with 8 hits and a walk, while going 2 for 6 with RISP, leaving 3 on base. Alonzo Harris (3), and Cesar Puello (2) had multi hit games, while Richard Lucas (0 for 2, run, RBI, BB, K, .385), John Freeman (0 for 4, .143), John Semel (0 for 4, RBI, .224) and Gerad Mochizuki (0 for 3, 2 Ks, .221) took 0-fers.

Jacob Ruckle got oblierated for 9 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks in 2.2 innings for his 2nd EL loss, but unlike last night, the Mets bullpen tonight held Erie right there (granted, it was 9-0, lol), with Jim Warden and Emary Frederick combining for 3 hit relief over 5.1 innings, and the Mets did get the tying run to the plate in the 9th inning, but Caleb Stewart popped out to end the game.
The Mets hammered out 13 hits and drew 3 walks, but were just 3 for 12 with RISP and left 10 on base.

Jeurys Familia, since giving up 6 runs on 9 hits and 2 walks in 4.2 innings on July 9th, had gone 3 starts, allowing just 3 runs on 12 hits and 5 walks, with 16 strikeouts in 20 innings (2-0, 1.35 era). He was in line for the win, until the bullpen came in and blew it to hell, giving up 4 runs in 1.1 innings. Rhiner Cruz in particular had a very bad outing, coming in with 2 outs and the bases loaded in the 8th, and walking in 2 runs.
The Gnats offense had 9 hits and 2 walks, while going 2 for 8 with RISP, leaving 5 on base.

I know the Wilpons demand the Cyclones win, at virtually all costs (including prospect development), but that makes it very very difficult to judge players on the Cyclones. For example, Brandon Moore at 23 has a 1.32 era in 6 starts spanning 41 innings, but what exactly does it mean? Is he taking advantage of younger competition, or is he a real prospect? Ditto James Fuller (age 22, 1.75 era), Luis Rivera (age 22 3/4, .320, .943 OPS), Tyler Vaughn (age 24, .357, .844 OPS), just to name a few.

Every pitcher the BMets used gave up runs, 3 of 4 gave up multiple runs. BMet pitching gave up 7 HR tonight

A recurring theme on the Gnats this year, a pitcher being victimized by his defense. Tonight it was Kyle Allen who had 2 error made behind him (to be fair, one was his, but only his 2nd, he and Eric Campbell (4) made them tonight), leading to 2 UER off him, along with 2 ER in 6.2 innings, enough for the loss, his 6th.
The Gnats offense managed just a run on 8 hits and 3 walks, while going just 1 for 11 (.091) with RISP, leaving 9 on base. Raul Reyes (0 for 4, .251), Wilmer Flores, Eric Campbell (0 for 3, BB, K, .263), Jordan Abruzzo (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .217), and Joey August (0 for 2, BB, .098) took 0-fers, while Sean Ratliff and Kai Gronauer had 3 hit games.

Savannah 1, West Virginia 4
A recurring theme on the Gnats this year, a pitcher being victimized by his defense. Tonight it was Kyle Allen who had 2 error made behind him (to be fair, one was his, but only his 2nd, he and Eric Campbell (4) made them tonight), leading to 2 UER off him, along with 2 ER in 6.2 innings, enough for the loss, his 6th.
The Gnats offense managed just a run on 8 hits and 3 walks, while going just 1 for 11 (.091) with RISP, leaving 9 on base. Raul Reyes (0 for 4, .251), Wilmer Flores, Eric Campbell (0 for 3, BB, K, .263), Jordan Abruzzo (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .217), and Joey August (0 for 2, BB, .098) took 0-fers, while Sean Ratliff and Kai Gronauer had 3 hit games.

The Cyclones took advantage of 5 Yankee errors, and generated 8 hits and 4 walks in scoring 4 runs. Mark Cohoon worked 6 shutout innings for his 6th win of the season, and Michael Powers had a rare rough outing, giving up a pair in the 9th.
The Cyclones went just 1 for 9 (.111) with RISP and left 13 men on base. Justin Garber (0 for 3, BB, K, .250), John Servidio (0 for 3, BB, .204), Robbie Shields (0 for 3, 2 BBs, .097), and Juan Centeno (0 for 5, .167) all took 0-fers, while Dock Doyle (2), and Luis Rivera (3) had multi hit games.

Armando Rodriguez got bombed for 6 runs (5 earned) on 6 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings, but it was Chris Hilliard, who gave up a run on 2 hits in 3 innings who was tagged with the loss, his 2nd.
The offense had 8 hits and drew a pair of walks, while going just 3 for 15 (.200) with RISP, leaving 6 on base. RJ Harris (0 for 3, run, BB, 2 Ks, .235) and Kurt Steinhauer (0 for 3, 3 Ks, .435) took 0-fers, while Cesar Puello had the only multi hit game (2)

Brad Holt had a miserable outing tonight, giving up 5 runs on 9 hits (4 homers, including a solo shot by the opposing pitcher) in 6 innings, but the Mets touched up Tim Alderson for 10 hits and 4 runs, then scratched across a pair in the 8th on a hit, balk, walk, bunt, SF, and WP, eeking out a hard fought 6-5 win. Jose De La Torre picked up the win with 2 scoreless, Connor Robertson notched his 6th save.
The Mets hammered out a total of 13 hits, and drew a walk, while going 2 for 6 with RISP and leaving 6 on base. Every Met regular had a hit in the game, with Emmanuel Garcia (2), Josh Thole (2), Ike Davis (2), and Jose Coronado (2) having multi hit games.

Manuel Alvarez got jacked up for 2 runs in an inning of work, plus allowed Josh Stinson's IHR to score, blowing his 4th save and taking his 3rd loss, after a so-so outing from Scott Moviel. Moviel gave up 4 runs and 4 walks in 5.1 innings, but just 2 UER (thanks to his own error, and a Reese Havens error).
The Mets had 11 hits and drew 4 walks, while going 6 for 20 with RISP, leaving 10 on base.

The Gnats scored early, and then held off a furious Power rally, with Phillips Orta picking up his first win of the season, in back of an ineffective Eric Beaulac. Beaulac went just 3+ innings, giving up 7 hits and 4 runs in his shortest outing since being returned to the rotation on July 2nd. Rhiner Cruz picked up a 4 out save, despite allowing an IHR to score.

Well, another game, another ridiculously high scoring affair. Kingsport gives up 9 tonight, RA of 7.24, scores 7, RSA of 6.79. Might explain why they're 10-19 on the season, RA of 7.24...
Kingsport hammered out 11 hits, and drew 5 walks, and also benefitted from 4 errors in scoring 7 runs, while going 3 for 12 with RISP and leaving 8 on base.

The Mets ran into Madison Bumgarner tonight, and Bumgarner ran into a baseball, clubbing a grandslam off Eric Niesen, part of a 5 hit, 5 walk, 6 run barrage against the Mets lefty, dropping him to 1-5 in the EL. Bumgarner, one of the (if not the) best pitching prospect in baseball, gave up just a run on 3 hits in 7 innings.

Kingsport 6, Pulaski 8
The Mets get a pass tonight, as it was 19 year old Yohan Almonte's Kingsport debut tonight, and he fired 4 innings of 3 hit shutout ball before the roof caved in on him in the 5th, he allowed 5 hits and a walk in that inning, leading to 6 runs, all against him, for the loss.
The Mets hammered out 14 hits, but were just 3 for 16 (.188) with RISP, leaving 10 on base. Darrell Ceciliani (2), Alonzo Harris (2), RJ Harris (2), Richard Lucas (2) and Juan Torres (4) all had multi hit games, Torres had a perfect game going 4 for 4. Ryan Mollica (0 for 5, 2 RBI, K, .264) and John Freeman (0 for 5, 2 Ks, .159) took 0-fers.

Revisiting my Preseason Top 30...
My preseason top 30, comments in parathesis, the grade following my comments is the grade I feel he's earned this season
1. Fernando Martinez OF (performed very well in AAA, flashed signs in the majors, solid BB/K, line drive hitter, injured again, though) B
2. Wilmer Flores SS (After, I'll say it, a very subpar April (.296/.676) and May (.235/.600), Wilmer's turned it on in June (.309/.766) and July (.310/.741), hitting around .310 with solid K numbers (17 in 165 ABs) after 24 in 158 April+May ABs with a .260 average, needs to show some power (but the average is damn impressive) B+
3. Jon Niese LHSP (after a disasterous first half, Jon's pitching to a 0.96 era in his last 8 starts, the best stretch of his pro career) B-
4. Danirl Murphy 3B/2B/1B/LF (started the season in LF, looked lost, moved to 1b, looks great. The bat hasn't come around as we'd hoped, he looks lost and in between at the plate, but he's been jerked around by Jerry, so it's not totally Daniel's fault.) C-
5. Brad Holt RHSP (Outside of his season debut, Holt dominated high A and made it to AA in his first full season. Has performed respectably in AA, again, removing his worst start, reports on his secondaries have been good) B
6. Nick Evans LF/1B (Yeesh. Was demoted to EXT then AA after hitting .096 in AAA (yes, .096). Performed decently in the majors, and has been...better upon his return to AAA (.227/.261/.273/.534 (22 ABs)) D
7. Reese Havens SS (severe disappointment, fell into a deep slump in high A, then got hurt) D
8. Josh Thole C/1B (Thole keeps on doing what Thole does. High average, high on base, acceptable pop (22 2b). Reports of his defense improving enhance his stock, and it's more a matter of him being passed by higher ceiling prospects then slippage that he'll likely end the year outside of my top 10) B+
9. Jenrry Mejia RHSP (flat out dominated high A at 19, made it to AA, performance was more mixed, then got hurt. Has HUGE upside, jumped 6 spots in my midseason rankings) A
10. Jefry Marte 3B (has been flat out awful on both sides of the ball, is making a 2 level jump at 17/18, hitting MUCH better in July (.296/.350/.446/.796), still on pace for 50 errors (he's got 35)) C+
11. Bobby Parnell RHP (has spent the entire season in the majors, has been hit or miss, flashes a wickedly plus fastball (96-100), inconsistent secondaries (slider, changeup), could probably use time in the minors/winter league to refine his secondaries) C+
12. Scott Moviel RHSP (tore his knee meniscus twice, hasn't pitched well since returning, but it's only 4 starts in St. Lucie) INC
13. Dillon Gee RHSP (was pitching decently in AAA before getting hurt, labrum tear severely clouds his future, which at best was a Greg Maddux lite) INC
14. Robert Carson LHSP (Has performed extremely well, outside of a 2 start + 1 inning span (4/24, awful first, good 5 after), totalling just 5.1 innings, he's pitched to a 3.15 RA, a 1.43 era, and a 7-4 record) A
15. Ike Davis 1B (Davis is shutting me up something fierce, huh? I've made my disdain for Davis well known, and Davis is doing nothing but performing, with 12 HR and 23 2b split between high A and AA. He's only got a .563 OPS against LHP, so he needs to improve that markedly, but his 1.015 against RHP is extremely impressive) A
16. Francisco Pena C (Pena's made some strides this season (12/48 BB/K, vs a 25/95 last year, .190 K rate this year, vs .239 last year, there are some who would tell you the high contact rate points to an imminent breakout, I'm not sure, but then again, to be fair, I've never been a Pena fan, either, and his July (.905 OPS, best month of his pro career) certainly backs up the prediction of a breakout) C
17. Eddie Kunz RHRP (yeah, I ranked my 3 "disdains" in a row, lol. Kunz has been largely pedestrian in his first full season in AAA, posting a 4.08 era, and slipping 6 spots in my midseason rankings (to 23). Again, to be fair, Kunz' season is largely a product of 4-5 very ill-placed appearances where he's been bombed out of existance (3+ runs). And as we know, one appearance of 4 runs in an inning can KILL an ERA for weeks and months. Still, AAA lefties are hitting .267 with a .360 OBP, while righties are hitting just .176 against him) C-
18. Michael Antonini LHSP (we knew Owen would flame out in AA, I, personally, had some hope Antonini wouldn't go down the same path, but he has. His season tanked his ranking, he's in the mid 40s, easily the largest drop on my preseason list (except for Nathan Vineyard). Antonini's allowing AA lefties to hit .269 against him, while righties are hitting .308, so even a role as a LOOGY looks like a longshot at this point) F
19. Jeurys Familia RHSP (his stock has risen considerably this season, he's jumped up 10 spots from this ranking to 9th overall (though I may be tweaking that post 8/15). Still, Familia at age 19 is dominating the Sally League, with 1.47 GO/FO and 91 Ks in 106 innings. Familia is 55 innings above his career high, a cautionary note if his performance were to slip from here) A
20. Kyle Allen RHSP (Allen was only ranked here because I didn't have good information on him, the same reason he was 30th in my predraft top 50, right now, he would be in the top 15 for sure. Outside of an awful 7.5 era April, Allen's pitched to a 3 era this season, and had 72 Ks in 86 innings, with an extremely good 2.31 GO/FO) B
21. Ruben Tejada SS (Considering his age (19), and his putrid performance in high A last year (.229/.293/.296/.588) it would've been very easy to write off Tejada for 2009 as well, after learning he was going to open in Binghamton. Indeed, Tejada hit just .222/.347/.286 in April, but from 5/1 on, Tejada's been extremely impressive, hitting around .292/.341/.374 in 250 ABs.
22. Brant Rustich RHP (he was ranked here due to injury concerns, stayed healthy long enough (pitching 4-5 innings every outing) for me to rocket him up to 3rd, and then got hurt. He's still got the best stuff in the system, but injury concerns at UCLA dropped him into the 3rd round in 07, and injury concerns in the pros have limited him to just high A at age 24) B-
23. Nathan Vineyard LHSP (he retired rather then rehab) Grade: WUSS
24. Angel Calero LHSP (Calero's had a mixed season, suffering through a 5.68 era in May+June, but posting 1.23 in April and 3.86 in July around them, overall pitching to a 4.19 in 77.1 innings. Calero hasn't appeared in a game since the 9th of July, cause unknown) C+
25. Greg Veloz 2b (outside of a hot 2-3 weeks to start the season, Veloz has been flat out awful, with a .628 OPS. He has slightly improved his BB/K (.3451 last year, .3824 this), but overall, it's been a disappointing season for Veloz) C-
26. Lucas Duda 1b/OF (Duda's performed well in AA, considering his ... somewhat disappointing high A campaign in 2008 (.263/.358/.398/.755). He's cut down his Ks (.267 rate last year, .249 this), and significantly improved his BB/K (.5116 last year, .622 this). Significant platoon splits are holding him back, however (.487 OPS vs LHP, .904 vs RHP), but this has been a good step forward season for Duda) B-
27. Nick Carr RHSP (Carr rebounded from a nightmarish 2008, and was having a good 2009, but got hurt midway through) INC
28. Jose Coronado SS (awful season from Coronado, who some had thought made strides offensively with his great showing in the VWL, but he got off to a putrid start in AAA, and hasn't been much better in AA) D
29. Cesar Puello OF (performing very well in short season rookie ball at age 17) B+
30. Aderlin Rodriguez 3B (hasn't appeared in a game yet) INC
1. Fernando Martinez OF (performed very well in AAA, flashed signs in the majors, solid BB/K, line drive hitter, injured again, though) B
2. Wilmer Flores SS (After, I'll say it, a very subpar April (.296/.676) and May (.235/.600), Wilmer's turned it on in June (.309/.766) and July (.310/.741), hitting around .310 with solid K numbers (17 in 165 ABs) after 24 in 158 April+May ABs with a .260 average, needs to show some power (but the average is damn impressive) B+

The BMets were no hit thru the first 6 innings, and ended up with 5 hits, a walk and a run, not nearly enough after Eric Brown gave up 5 runs on 9 hits and 3 walks in 6+ innings for his 11th loss of the season. Brown, who's probably got 9 or 10 starts left, has a very outside shot of losing 20 games this season. Ouch. The Mets were 1 for 2 with RISP and left 4 on base.

Kyle Allen had a second straight very solid outing, this time giving up just 2 runs on 4 hits and 3 walks in 6 innings for his 7th win of the season. Over his last two outings, Allen's allowed 7 hits and 7 walks in 12.2 innings, along with 8 Ks. As I pointed out earlier on MPH, if you remove a god awful April from the equation, Allen's been pitching very well since.
The Gnats offense exploded for 4 in the first, and 7 in the 3rd, riding those two huge innings to victory. They hammered out 14 hits and drew 4 walks, while going 9 for 14 (.643) with RISP, leaving 8 on base. Wilmer (4), Eric Campbell (3), and Kai Gronauer (2) had multi hit games, while Joey August (replaced Rafael Fernandez in the field, 0 for 1, .111), Josh Satin (0 for 3, run, BB, .288), Imbewer Alvarez (0 for 1, .185) and Luis Alen (0 for 1, .133) took 0-fers.

See what happens when your pitching is just average at best, combined with your offense being ridiculous? You win alot. The Mets problem this year has been pitching, as through 24 games, 2nd from the bottom in staff ERA (5.78), and give up 7.63 runs per game. On the flip side, they score 6.83 runs per game. Tonight, the Mets hammered out 15 hits and drew 4 walks, while going 6 for 14 (.429) with RISP, and leaving 5 on base. Darrell Ceciliani (3), Alonzo Harris (2), Ryan Mollica (3), and Kurt Steinhauer (3) each had multi hit games, Steinhauer had a 2 homer game. Harris hit his 7th of the season. Jeff Flagg (0 for 4, run, BB, .337) and Tyler Howe (0 for 3, run, BB, 2 Ks, .263) took 0-fers.
Armando Rodriguez left the game after just an inning pitched, no word yet on why. Chris Hilliard pitched 5 innings of 5 hit 2 run relief for the win, his 2nd.

7/17 Minor League Report! Davis, Reyes (again, not Jose)!
Binghamton 8, Erie 7
There needs to be a rule put into place in baseball whereby if you enter a game with a 3 run lead, and the game ends with a 1 run differential, you don't get a save. Connor Robertson pitched horribly, giving up 2 runs on 2 hits and 2 walks in the 9th, but he got a save he didn't deserve. Eric Niesen started and gave up 4 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings for his first EL victory.
The Mets had 8 hits and drew 5 walks, while going 6 for 10 with RISP, and leaving 7 on base. Emmanuel Garcia (2) and Lucas Duda (2) had multi hit games, while DJ Wabick (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .291), Jon Malo (0 for 3, run, BB, K, .254) and Ruben Tejada (0 for 3, .271) took 0-fers.

There needs to be a rule put into place in baseball whereby if you enter a game with a 3 run lead, and the game ends with a 1 run differential, you don't get a save. Connor Robertson pitched horribly, giving up 2 runs on 2 hits and 2 walks in the 9th, but he got a save he didn't deserve. Eric Niesen started and gave up 4 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings for his first EL victory.
The Mets had 8 hits and drew 5 walks, while going 6 for 10 with RISP, and leaving 7 on base. Emmanuel Garcia (2) and Lucas Duda (2) had multi hit games, while DJ Wabick (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .291), Jon Malo (0 for 3, run, BB, K, .254) and Ruben Tejada (0 for 3, .271) took 0-fers.

Afrer starting the year with 3 straight shutout efforts (6, 7, 6 innings), Jim Fuller's gone 6 innings in each of his last 2 starts, giving up 3 (last outing) and 2 (today) runs, both resulting in losses. Today, he pitched 6 innings, allowed 2 runs on 3 hits, striking out 9, but still picked up his second loss of the season.
The Conies offense was limited to just an UER on 4 hits and 2 walks, and they were just 1 for 6 (.167) with RISP, leaving 5 on base.

Yeah, another night of, to be quite frank, simply apocolyptically abysmally massive fail pitching from Kingsport. Through 23 games, the Mets have given up 178 runs, for an average of 7.74 runs against. Tonight it was Jhonathan Torres in his Kingsport debut, he gave up 10 runs, but inexplicably, only 1 earned run, as a 2 out error in the 2nd opened the floodgates for 8 runs.
The Mets offense certainly did well enough to win, as they do most nights, they had 10 hits and 3 walks while going 3 for 11 (.273) with RISP, leaving 7 on base. Darrell Ceciliani (2), Tyler Vaughn (2), and Pedro Zapata (2) had multi hit games, while Alonzo Harris (0 for 5, 2 Ks, .271), and John Freeman (0 for 5, 2 Ks, .164) took 0-fers.

7/15 Minor League Report! Guzman, WELCH, Pena, STRONACH, Familia!
St. Lucie 10, Palm Beach 0
Tim Stronach had the game of his life this afternoon, taking a perfect game into the 8th, and a no hitter into the 9th, losing the perfecto on a HBP in the 8th, and losing the no hitter with 1 down in the 9th on a triple. Stronach only struck out 1, getting his other 24 outs via groundball (14), and flyball (10). Stronach is a fringy prospect at 23 1/2 years old, but that doesn't take away from his masterpiece today. He lowered his ERA by 2.9 runs with his effort, and earned his first win of the season.
The Mets scored early and often, with 4 in the first getting them off on the right foot. They hammered out 15 hits and drew 3 walks, while going 6 for 12 with RISP, leaving 7 on base. The 456 hitters (Guzman, Welch, Pena) each had a homer and 3 hits in the game, every regular had at least one hit.

Jeurys Familia carried a no hitter into the 6th, before allowing a run in the inning, but he picked up his 7th win of the season, despite not receiving much offensive support (4 hits, 2 walks, 3 runs, 1 earned). Familia allowed just a run on 1 hit and a walk in 6 innings. Rhiner Cruz pitched around 2 hits in the 9th for save #17. The Gnats were just 1 for 7 (.149) with RISP, and left 6 men on base. Jefry Marte (1 for 3, run, K, .239 - left the game after tripping over a bat (more funny then concerning...), Wilmer Flores (1 for 4, run, 3b, .281) and Sean Ratliff (2 for 4, run, 2b, 3b, 2 RBI, .270) had the only hits for the Gnats.

The Cyclones offense had 9 hits and 2 walks, while going 4 for 13 (.308) with RISP, leaving 8 on base. Sam Honeck returned to the lineup after missing the last 5 days with the Cyclones only multi hit game. Luis Rivera (0 for 3, BB, K, .342) took the only 0-fer.

Damn those smart kids can hit! Or it could be that Mets pitching is just deplorable. Actually, it's probably the latter.

The Kevin Mulvey Era Begins
Lets be real, we raped the Twins in the Johan Santana trade. How we got the best pitcher in baseball without giving up a proven MLB star (Jose Reyes) or even our top prospect (Fernando Martinez) was an amazing job by Omar Minaya.
So far on the Twins end the players haven't exactly panned out yet. As of now they have a gold glove caliber CF in Carlos Gomez, who unfortunately, hasn't been able to put it all together yet; just about a .655 OPS (ouch) with the Twins. A project in Deolis Guerra who at the time was considered to be a big time prospect with huge upside, but as of now reports have been that his velocity has been down, and he's been getting hit hard, looks like a bust but again he's still only what? 20?. And finally we have the soon to be worlds best #5 starter Kevin Mulvey who has just been called up by the Twins.
Mulvey has done what Mulvey has always done, and that's put up solid stats. Over his season and a half with the Twins Mulvey has increased his k/9 rate which further leads me to believe he can sustain his career in the majors. In 2007 with the Mets he had just a 4.50 k/9, mostly relying on the groundball, but he's raised that rate to 7.36 (2008) 7.09 (2009), a very solid number for a pitcher who isn't considered a strikeout pitcher.
Basically, he's your prototypical #4/5 starter; 4 solid pitches, gives up a lot of hits, doesn't walk many, and keeps you in the game. Nothing wrong with having a guy like that on your staff making the league minimum.
Mulvey was always a favorite of mine (actually my favorite prospect for whatever reason) and I'll be following him closely during his MLB career.

7/14 Minor League Report! ALLEN!
Savannah 2, Kannapolis 0
Kyle Allen and 3 relievers combined on a 3 hit shutout tonight, and Jefry Marte continued his resurgance at the plate with 2 doubles, leading the Gnats to a 2-0 victory. Allen had one of his best games of the season, pitching into the 7th inning for the 2nd time all season (June 14th against Augusta), and matching his longest outing with 6.2 innings of 3 hit shutout ball. At one point tonight, Allen retired 12 of 14 batters, and after throwing 25 pitches in the first, needed just 67 more to get through his final 5.2 innings. Jacob Goldberg struck out the only batter to face him, stranding 2 of Kyle's IHRs. Rhiner Cruz pitched a perfect 9th for his 16th save.
The Gnats had 7 hits and a walk, while going 2 for 8 with RISP and leaving 4 on base. The aforementioned Marte had the only multi hit game, while Josh Satin (0 for 2, .294), Kai Gronauer (0 for 3, 2 Ks, .237), and Joey August (0 for 3, 2 Ks, .087) took 0-fers.

Five players, Emmanuel Garcia (3), Josh Petersen (3), Jose Coronado (2), Ruben Tejada (3), and Mike Nickeas (3), had multi hit games, while Ike Davis (0 for 5, run, RBI, BB, K, .256) took the only 0-fer. The Mets were a stellar 12 for 22 (.545) with RISP, while they left 8 on base.

June 2009 Hotsheet
1. Jon Niese
Before June: 0-4, 7.96 era, 7 GS, 31.2 IP, 48 H, 34/28 ER, 12/30 BB/K
June: 3-2, 2.43 era, 6 GS, 40.2 IP, 32 H, 12/11 R/ER, 2 HR, 9/35 BB/K, 1.83 GO/FO, .215 BAA
Season: 3-6, 4.85 era, 13 GS, 72.1 IP, 80 H, 46/39 R/ER, 7 HR, 21/65 BB/K, 1.81 GO/FO, .275 BAA
After pitching horrific baseball for the first 2 months of the season, Jon Niese has kicked it into a serious gear in June, and were it not for his first start of the month (6.1 ip, 7 h, 6 er), those numbers would be downright extraordinary: 3-1, 1.31 era, 5 GS, 34.1 ip, 25 h, 6/5 r/er, 8/29 bb/k. So after really experiencing failure for the first time in his pro career, Niese has bounced back extremely nicely.
2. 1B/OF Nick Evans
Before June (AAA Buffalo + AA Binghamton): .130/.237/.261/.498, 15 for 115, 10 runs, 3 2b, 4 HR, 8 RBI, 16/40 BB/K
June: .323/.397/.554/.951, 21 for 65, 11 runs, 7 2b, 3b, 2 HR, 8 RBI, 6/9 BB/K
Season: .200/.294/.367/.661, 36 for 180, 21 runs, 10 2b, 3b, 6 HR, 16 RBI, 22/49 BB/K
Evans' struggles at the beginning of the season were well documented, he got off to a miserable .093/.218/.227/.445 start in Buffalo, was demoted all the way to Extended, and then Binghamton, where he got off to an equally terrible start, but prior to his callup on June 19th, Evans was tearing it up, with a .390 average over his last 10 games (16 for 41, 6 2b, 3b, 2 HR), and overall a very very good month of June, Evans has seemingly regained his stroke from last year, when he was one of the top offensive prospects in the system.
3. 1b Ike Davis
Before June: .282/.367/.448/.815, 49 for 174, 18 runs, 16 2b, 2 3b, 3 HR, 17 RBI, 24/46 BB/K
June: .324/.444/.568/1.012, 24 for 74, 11 runs, 4 2b, 3b, 4 HR, 17 RBI, 15/15 BB/K
Season: .294/.391/.484/.875, 73 for 248, 29 runs, 20 2b, 3 3b, 7 HR, 34 RBI, 39/61 BB/K
Split over two levels, Davis had a fantastic month of June, especially in the plate discipline department. Luckily for Ike, he saved an 0 for 8 stretch in Binghamton until the calendar turned (9 for 27 vs 9 for 35, lol). A valid concern is his continued inability to hit LHP (2 for 12, 3/5 BB/K in AA, after OPSing under .500 vs LHP in the FSL).
4. C Josh Thole
Before June: .369/.440/.490/.930, 58 for 157, 22 runs, 16 2b, HR, 16 RBI, 20/20 BB/K, 2/3 SBs
June: .310/.374/.400/.774, 31 for 100, 12 runs, 5 2b, 2 3b, 14 RBI, 11/5 BB/K, 2 SBs
Season: .346/.414/.455/.869, 89 for 257, 34 runs, 21 2b, 2 3b, HR, 30 RBI, 31/25 BB/K, 4/6 SBs
Well...those claiming bias on my part will have a field day with this selection for the Hotsheet, but here's my explaination: I needed 10 guys, and he was 10th to be chosen (but I go top down in the system, Buffalo down to Savannah).
Anyway, Thole had a good month average and OBP wise (74 IsoD in April, 68 in May, 64 in June), but didn't hit for all that much power, even for him (117 IsoP in April, 124 in May, only 90 in June). He kept up his insane reverse platoon splits, ending the month at .420/.488/.478/.966 vs LHP, and a good (not great) .319/.386/.447/.833 against RHP. His (further) improvement against RHP may allieviate concerns about him needing a platoon mate, but we would like to see those numbers even out a bit more. For those who say he doesn't hit for enough power, given 500 ABs (120 starts), his power numbers would be: 41 2b, 4 3b, 2 HR - well more then adequate from a catcher. Especially when it comes attached to a .300/.375 line.
5. OF Brahiam Maldonado
Before June: .226/.277/.377/.653, 33 for 146, 16 runs, 8 2b, 3b, 4 HR, 19 RBI, 8/46 BB/K
June: .268/.391/.437/.827, 19 for 71, 10 runs, 3 2b, 3 HR, 12 RBI, 14/27 BB/K, 6 SBs
Season: .240/.317/.396/.713, 52 for 217, 26 runs, 11 2b, 3b, 7 HR, 31 RBI, 22/73 BB/K
A month after making the "Not Hot" portion, Maldonado posted a good bounceback month, especially in the plate discipline department, with a very good 14/27 BB/K ratio (good for him, .5185). We'll have to see if it carries over to July, though. And at 23 1/2, it'll need to.
6. 3b Zach Lutz
Before June: .230/.370/.391/.761, 20 for 87, 11 runs, 3 2b, 3b, 3 HR, 15 RBI, 17/22 BB/K,
June: .293/.375/.402/.777, 27 for 92, 11 runs, 5 2b, 3b, HR, 12 RBI, 12/17 BB/K
Season: .263/.373/.397/.769, 47 for 179, 22 runs, 8 2b, 2 3b, 4 HR, 27 RBI, 29/39 BB/K
Lutz has suffered through an injury plagued tenure with the Mets, and this season has been no exception, he played in just 26 of the Mets first 48 games, and hit accordingly, just .230. However, he was healthy for all of June, and hit .293, albeit with not alot of power, with just a 109 IsoP. However, it portended good things for July, but he may have suffered *another* injury on July 9th, as he left the game early.
7. RHSP Jeurys Familia
Before June: 3-4, 2.92 era, 10/9 G/GS, 52.1 IP, 42 H, 22/17 R/ER, 20/37 BB/K, 1.608 GO/FO, .218 BAA, 1.185 WHIP
June: 2-1, 3.00 era, 5 GS, 30 IP, 24 H, 11/10 R/ER, HR, 9/25 BB/K, 1.70 GO/FO, .220 BAA, 1.10 WHIP
Season: 5-5, 2.95 era, 15/14 G/GS, 82.1 IP, 66 H, 33/27 R/ER, 29/62 BB/K, 1.642 GO/FO, .219 BAA, 1.154 WHIP
Familia's been one of Savannah's best pitchers this season, holding steady with a upper 2s to low 3s era, but he's pitched better then his numbers would indicate, as he goes on 4-5 start streaks of excellence, and then gets bombed for a 1-2 start span. Of course, that's what the low minor leagues are for, becoming more consistent. Familia doesn't turn 20 until after the season ends, so he is well ahead of the game.
8. RHSP Kyle Allen
Before June: 3-2, 4.91 era, 9/3 G/GS, 36.2 IP, 39 H, 21/20 R/ER, 17/34 BB/K, 2.251 GO/FO, .279 BAA, 1.527 WHIP
June: 2-1, 3.38 era, 5 GS, 26.2 IP, 25 H, 13/10 R/ER, 3 HR, 8/24 BB/K, 1.95 GO/FO, .248 BAA, 1.24 WHIP
Season: 5-3, 4.26 era, 14/8 G/GS, 63.1 IP, 64 H, 34/30 R/ER, 25/58 BB/K, 2.124 GO/FO, .266 BAA, 1.405 WHIP
Allen's been very up and down in his first full season, seemingly alternating good start/bad start, and hasn't yet been able to hit a consistent groove. However, he, too is just 19 years old, turning 20 in February of 2010, so time is very much on his side.
9. Robert Carson
Before June: 3-3, 2.09 era, 9 GS, 47.1 IP, 46 H, 26/11 R/ER, HR, 13/36 BB/K, 2.329 GO/FO, .248 BAA, 1.246 WHIP
June: 2-2, 2.89 era, 5 GS, 28 IP, 30 H, 11/9 R/ER, 13/15 BB/K, 1.44 GO/FO, .280 BAA, 1.54 WHIP
Season: 5-5, 2.39 era, 14 GS, 75.1 IP, 76 H, 37/20 R/ER, 26/51 BB/K, 1.999 GO/FO, .260 BAA, 1.354 WHIP
Carson's been, more then anyone else, a victim of the horrific Savannah defense (but really, every pitcher on the staff should be given at least half a pass, since even earned runs are the result of plays that should be made but aren't, or official scorers who don't give errors when they're justified). Outside of that, Carson's pitched great, with a 2:1 GO/FO ratio, and a good 3.106 BB/9. He needs to improve his K rate, but all his other periphs are very good.
10. ss Wilmer Flores
Before June: .263/.308/.327/.635, 41 for 156, 15 runs, 7 2b, HR, 13 RBI, 10/24 BB/K
June: .309/.340/.426/.766, 29 for 94, 7 runs, 6 2b, 3b, HR, 8 RBI, 2/9 BB/K
Season: .280/.320/.364/.684, 70 for 250, 22 runs, 13 2b, 3b, 2 HR, 21 RBI, 12/33 BB/K, .132 K rate
After a eh April and a terrible May, Wilmer bounced back to post his best month in Savannah. The very good thing about Wilmer is he only Ks roughly 1 every 8 ABs, meaning he has a very good contact rate, which is a good thing for his future. And remember, he doesn't turn 18 until August 6th. His XBH is way down from last year, if you're looking for any negatives (1 every 18.06 ABs this year, vs 1 every 11.2 ABs last year). His K rate and BB/K ratio is virtually the same from 08 to 09, another very good sign.
----------------
|||WHO IS NOT|||
----------------
1. OF Carlos Guzman
June: .224/.283/.365/.647, 19 for 85, 10 runs, 3 2b, 3 HR, 10 RBI, 6/13 BB/K
Much like Maldonado, and some others, the margin of error for Guzman is tiny when it comes to being regarded as a prospect. The 23 year old needs to make it up to Binghamton sometime this season and hit there, so an ice cold month like June serves to diminish his star, such that it was in the first place.
2. OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis
June: .242/.318/.364/.682, 24 for 99, 19 runs, 6 2b, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 10/22 BB/K
Nieuwenhuis has been inconsistent at best in his first full season of pro ball, sandwiching sub .700 OPS months around his .900+ May. However, on the positive side, his plate discipline numbers have been improving month to month (.3157 BB/K in April, .4615 in May, .4545 in June). And unlike Maldonado and Guzman, he turns 22 in August, so he's got some time to middle around before finding it.
3. Greg Veloz
June: .220/.268/.264/.532, 20 for 91, 11 runs, 4 2b, 6 RBI, 6/18 BB/K, 8/10 SBs
Veloz turned 21 in the early days of June, and celebrated by putting up his worst offensive month of the season. He is age appropriate for the league, but so far this season has put up woeful numbers with a .602 OPS.
4. IF Hector Pellot
June: .258/.319/.333/.653, 17 for 66, 5 runs, 3 2b, 3b, 4 RBI, 6/16 BB/K
Pellot's 22, and before his woeful June, there was some hope in the prospect community that he was finally justifying his 4th round selection way back in 2005. Well, then he went out and posted a mid 600 OPS...scratch that idea. Pellot will be eligible for the Rule V draft after the season, and there's virtually no chance he's protected.
5. Elvin Ramirez
June: 0-4, 5.64 era, 5 GS. 22.1 IP, 29 H, 20/14 R/ER, 2 HR, 18/14 BB/K, 1.32 GO/FO, .319 BAA
After posting ERAs of 3.93 and 3.09 in his first two months, Ramirez was a flat out disaster in June, with a mid 5s era, and more walks then strikeouts. Hopefully it's just some deadarm, as he's pitching into rarified air, innings wise (81 last year, 72.2 this). He has been especially bad his last two outings (7 innings, 16 hits, 8 earned). Hopefully he turns it around, as he's repeating the SAL off a good season last year (6-7, 3.67), and he turns 22 after the season ends.
Before June: 0-4, 7.96 era, 7 GS, 31.2 IP, 48 H, 34/28 ER, 12/30 BB/K
June: 3-2, 2.43 era, 6 GS, 40.2 IP, 32 H, 12/11 R/ER, 2 HR, 9/35 BB/K, 1.83 GO/FO, .215 BAA
Season: 3-6, 4.85 era, 13 GS, 72.1 IP, 80 H, 46/39 R/ER, 7 HR, 21/65 BB/K, 1.81 GO/FO, .275 BAA
After pitching horrific baseball for the first 2 months of the season, Jon Niese has kicked it into a serious gear in June, and were it not for his first start of the month (6.1 ip, 7 h, 6 er), those numbers would be downright extraordinary: 3-1, 1.31 era, 5 GS, 34.1 ip, 25 h, 6/5 r/er, 8/29 bb/k. So after really experiencing failure for the first time in his pro career, Niese has bounced back extremely nicely.
2. 1B/OF Nick Evans
Before June (AAA Buffalo + AA Binghamton): .130/.237/.261/.498, 15 for 115, 10 runs, 3 2b, 4 HR, 8 RBI, 16/40 BB/K
June: .323/.397/.554/.951, 21 for 65, 11 runs, 7 2b, 3b, 2 HR, 8 RBI, 6/9 BB/K
Season: .200/.294/.367/.661, 36 for 180, 21 runs, 10 2b, 3b, 6 HR, 16 RBI, 22/49 BB/K
Evans' struggles at the beginning of the season were well documented, he got off to a miserable .093/.218/.227/.445 start in Buffalo, was demoted all the way to Extended, and then Binghamton, where he got off to an equally terrible start, but prior to his callup on June 19th, Evans was tearing it up, with a .390 average over his last 10 games (16 for 41, 6 2b, 3b, 2 HR), and overall a very very good month of June, Evans has seemingly regained his stroke from last year, when he was one of the top offensive prospects in the system.
3. 1b Ike Davis
Before June: .282/.367/.448/.815, 49 for 174, 18 runs, 16 2b, 2 3b, 3 HR, 17 RBI, 24/46 BB/K
June: .324/.444/.568/1.012, 24 for 74, 11 runs, 4 2b, 3b, 4 HR, 17 RBI, 15/15 BB/K
Season: .294/.391/.484/.875, 73 for 248, 29 runs, 20 2b, 3 3b, 7 HR, 34 RBI, 39/61 BB/K
Split over two levels, Davis had a fantastic month of June, especially in the plate discipline department. Luckily for Ike, he saved an 0 for 8 stretch in Binghamton until the calendar turned (9 for 27 vs 9 for 35, lol). A valid concern is his continued inability to hit LHP (2 for 12, 3/5 BB/K in AA, after OPSing under .500 vs LHP in the FSL).
4. C Josh Thole
Before June: .369/.440/.490/.930, 58 for 157, 22 runs, 16 2b, HR, 16 RBI, 20/20 BB/K, 2/3 SBs
June: .310/.374/.400/.774, 31 for 100, 12 runs, 5 2b, 2 3b, 14 RBI, 11/5 BB/K, 2 SBs
Season: .346/.414/.455/.869, 89 for 257, 34 runs, 21 2b, 2 3b, HR, 30 RBI, 31/25 BB/K, 4/6 SBs
Well...those claiming bias on my part will have a field day with this selection for the Hotsheet, but here's my explaination: I needed 10 guys, and he was 10th to be chosen (but I go top down in the system, Buffalo down to Savannah).
Anyway, Thole had a good month average and OBP wise (74 IsoD in April, 68 in May, 64 in June), but didn't hit for all that much power, even for him (117 IsoP in April, 124 in May, only 90 in June). He kept up his insane reverse platoon splits, ending the month at .420/.488/.478/.966 vs LHP, and a good (not great) .319/.386/.447/.833 against RHP. His (further) improvement against RHP may allieviate concerns about him needing a platoon mate, but we would like to see those numbers even out a bit more.

June: .268/.391/.437/.827, 19 for 71, 10 runs, 3 2b, 3 HR, 12 RBI, 14/27 BB/K, 6 SBs
Season: .240/.317/.396/.713, 52 for 217, 26 runs, 11 2b, 3b, 7 HR, 31 RBI, 22/73 BB/K
A month after making the "Not Hot" portion, Maldonado posted a good bounceback month, especially in the plate discipline department, with a very good 14/27 BB/K ratio (good for him, .5185). We'll have to see if it carries over to July, though. And at 23 1/2, it'll need to.

Outside of that, Carson's pitched great, with a 2:1 GO/FO ratio, and a good 3.106 BB/9. He needs to improve his K rate, but all his other periphs are very good.
10. ss Wilmer Flores
Before June: .263/.308/.327/.635, 41 for 156, 15 runs, 7 2b, HR, 13 RBI, 10/24 BB/K
June: .309/.340/.426/.766, 29 for 94, 7 runs, 6 2b, 3b, HR, 8 RBI, 2/9 BB/K
Season: .280/.320/.364/.684, 70 for 250, 22 runs, 13 2b, 3b, 2 HR, 21 RBI, 12/33 BB/K, .132 K rate
After a eh April and a terrible May, Wilmer bounced back to post his best month in Savannah. The very good thing about Wilmer is he only Ks roughly 1 every 8 ABs, meaning he has a very good contact rate, which is a good thing for his future. And remember, he doesn't turn 18 until August 6th. His XBH is way down from last year, if you're looking for any negatives (1 every 18.06 ABs this year, vs 1 every 11.2 ABs last year). His K rate and BB/K ratio is virtually the same from 08 to 09, another very good sign.
----------------
|||WHO IS NOT|||
----------------
1. OF Carlos Guzman
June: .224/.283/.365/.647, 19 for 85, 10 runs, 3 2b, 3 HR, 10 RBI, 6/13 BB/K
Much like Maldonado, and some others, the margin of error for Guzman is tiny when it comes to being regarded as a prospect. The 23 year old needs to make it up to Binghamton sometime this season and hit there, so an ice cold month like June serves to diminish his star, such that it was in the first place.
2. OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis
June: .242/.318/.364/.682, 24 for 99, 19 runs, 6 2b, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 10/22 BB/K
Nieuwenhuis has been inconsistent at best in his first full season of pro ball, sandwiching sub .700 OPS months around his .900+ May. However, on the positive side, his plate discipline numbers have been improving month to month (.3157 BB/K in April, .4615 in May, .4545 in June). And unlike Maldonado and Guzman, he turns 22 in August, so he's got some time to middle around before finding it.
3. Greg Veloz
June: .220/.268/.264/.532, 20 for 91, 11 runs, 4 2b, 6 RBI, 6/18 BB/K, 8/10 SBs
Veloz turned 21 in the early days of June, and celebrated by putting up his worst offensive month of the season. He is age appropriate for the league, but so far this season has put up woeful numbers with a .602 OPS.
4. IF Hector Pellot
June: .258/.319/.333/.653, 17 for 66, 5 runs, 3 2b, 3b, 4 RBI, 6/16 BB/K
Pellot's 22, and before his woeful June, there was some hope in the prospect community that he was finally justifying his 4th round selection way back in 2005. Well, then he went out and posted a mid 600 OPS...scratch that idea. Pellot will be eligible for the Rule V draft after the season, and there's virtually no chance he's protected.
5. Elvin Ramirez
June: 0-4, 5.64 era, 5 GS. 22.1 IP, 29 H, 20/14 R/ER, 2 HR, 18/14 BB/K, 1.32 GO/FO, .319 BAA
After posting ERAs of 3.93 and 3.09 in his first two months, Ramirez was a flat out disaster in June, with a mid 5s era, and more walks then strikeouts. Hopefully it's just some deadarm, as he's pitching into rarified air, innings wise (81 last year, 72.2 this). He has been especially bad his last two outings (7 innings, 16 hits, 8 earned). Hopefully he turns it around, as he's repeating the SAL off a good season last year (6-7, 3.67), and he turns 22 after the season ends.

Three of the four Met pitchers gave up multiple runs, but Jonathan White, who gave up 6 hits and 4 runs in 5 innings, picked up a cheap win thanks to his offense. Oscar Melendez and Luis Rojas gave up 5 runs in 2.1 innings, before Travis Babin pitched 1.2 scoreless to pick up his 3rd save.

Angel Calero did not make it out of the 3rd inning after being staked to an 8-0 lead. Josh Stinson pitched 2.2 scoreless for the win.

Ike Davis homered to account for the only BMet run, it is Davis' 3rd homer in his last 4 games. However, none have been hit off lefties, and Davis is 3 for 18 vs LHP in AA (.167/.286/.222/.508).

It was a back and forth seesaw affair tonight, which saw the Mets trail 5-0, then 6-1 before tying it in the 5th, only to fall behind 7-6, then take the lead with 2 in the 8th, only to see Manuel Alvarez allow the tying run (8-8), only to see a walkoff single by Hector Pellot.
Scott Moviel got blitzed for 8 hits and 6 runs (5 earned) in just 3.1 innings. Alvarez blew the save and got the win, his 3rd.

The boxscore is incorrect, I have the correct pitching lines below.
Allen had a very uneven outing, outside of 2 homers, he was dinked and dunked to death, and wasn't even in the game when 1 of the 3 runs he gave up scored. Still, giving up 2 homers as a groundball pitcher isn't a good sign, but it happens (Pelfrey gave up 3 in Cincy...). Overall, Allen gave up 4 runs, 3 earned in 5 innings for his 5th loss. He has a woeful 5.44 era as a starter this year in 48 innings pitched, and a stellar 2.49 era as a reliever in 25.1 innings pitched. All of his periphials are in line, however, except for a .202 BAA relieving, and a .290 starting (attributable to Savannah's woeful defense).
The Gnats offense had 7 hits and 2 walks, while going 2 for 7 (.286) with RISP, leaving 6 on base. Jefry Marte and Josh Satin had multi hit games, while Wilmer, Eric Campbell (0 for 4, K, .255), Jordan Abruzzo (0 for 3, BB, 2 Ks), Jose Jimenez (0 for 2, .111) and Evan LeBlanc (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .128) took 0-fers.

Ronnie jinxed them. Brooklyn lost for just the 3rd time in 19 games, 5-4. Michael Powers took the loss, giving up a run, after being pushed to a 3rd inning (he's normally a 1 inning reliever). Wes Wrenn started and was terrific, giving up a run on 7 hits in 6 innings, but Sam Martinez gave up 3 runs without retiring a batter (Matias Carrillo allowed 2 of his 3 IHR to score).

The Mets tried this whole "score 10" thing again, this time coming out on the right side with a win. 5 players had multi hit games, led by Pedro Zapata's 4 hit game out of the 8 hole, as every regular had a hit, totalling up to a 16 hit 7 walk outburst. The Mets went 6 for 18 with RISP, leaving 11 on base.
Angel Cuan got pounded for 10 hits and 6 runs (4 earned) over 5 innings, but his offense bailed him out. Sam Taveras, working 3 innings for a second straight outing, picked up the win, despite giving up a run. Travis Babin picked up his second save.

Brad Holt had a very mixed outing tonight, on one hand, he gave up 3 runs on 3 hits and a walk, on the other, he struck out 10 in 5 innings to take his 3rd loss. Ike Davis homered to account for the only BMet run, it is Davis' 3rd homer in his last 4 games. However, none have been hit off lefties, and Davis is 3 for 18 vs LHP in AA (.167/.286/.222/.508). He, Lucas Duda and Josh Petersen had the only hits for the Mets.

It was a back and forth seesaw affair tonight, which saw the Mets trail 5-0, then 6-1 before tying it in the 5th, only to fall behind 7-6, then take the lead with 2 in the 8th, only to see Manuel Alvarez allow the tying run (8-8), only to see a walkoff single by Hector Pellot.
Scott Moviel got blitzed for 8 hits and 6 runs (5 earned) in just 3.1 innings. Alvarez blew the save and got the win, his 3rd.
The Mets offense had 11 hits and drew 8 walks, while going 6 for 16 (.375) with RISP, leaving 12 on base. Hector Pellot, Brahiam Maldonado, Stefan Welch and Seth Williams had multi hit games, while Greg Veloz (0 for 4, BB, 2 Ks, .244), Angel Pagan (0 for 2, run, 2 BBs, .375), and Rafael Arroyo (0 for 3, RBI, K, .091) took 0-fers.

The boxscore is incorrect, I have the correct pitching lines below.
Allen had a very uneven outing, outside of 2 homers, he was dinked and dunked to death, and wasn't even in the game when 1 of the 3 runs he gave up scored. Still, giving up 2 homers as a groundball pitcher isn't a good sign, but it happens (Pelfrey gave up 3 in Cincy...). Overall, Allen gave up 4 runs, 3 earned in 5 innings for his 5th loss. He has a woeful 5.44 era as a starter this year in 48 innings pitched, and a stellar 2.49 era as a reliever in 25.1 innings pitched. All of his periphials are in line, however, except for a .202 BAA relieving, and a .290 starting (attributable to Savannah's woeful defense).
The Gnats offense had 7 hits and 2 walks, while going 2 for 7 (.286) with RISP, leaving 6 on base. Jefry Marte and Josh Satin had multi hit games, while Wilmer, Eric Campbell (0 for 4, K, .255), Jordan Abruzzo (0 for 3, BB, 2 Ks), Jose Jimenez (0 for 2, .111) and Evan LeBlanc (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .128) took 0-fers.

Ronnie jinxed them. Brooklyn lost for just the 3rd time in 19 games, 5-4. Michael Powers took the loss, giving up a run, after being pushed to a 3rd inning (he's normally a 1 inning reliever). Wes Wrenn started and was terrific, giving up a run on 7 hits in 6 innings, but Sam Martinez gave up 3 runs without retiring a batter (Matias Carrillo allowed 2 of his 3 IHR to score).
The offense had just 11 hits and 3 walks, while going 2 for 9 with RISP and leaving 10 on base.

You know why I love the minor leagues? Because you find guys with last names like "Braboy" and "Hissey". Anyway, Eric Beaulac (not a funny name) struck out 9 in 5 innings, but also allowed 9 baserunners in an uneven shutout outing for his 5th win. He was in constant trouble but in an effort Brian Bannister (in 2006) would be proud of, didn't allow any runs.
The Gnats were on the right side of an error filled game (for a change), they took advantage of 4 Greeneville errors to produce all 5 of their runs. They had 5 hits and 3 walks to go along with those 4 errors, but were just 2 for 10 with RISP, and left 5 on base. No player had multiple hits, while Jefry Marte, Eric Campbell (0 for 4, run, K, .261), Jean Luc Picard (0 for 4, K, .221) and Evan LeBlanc (0 for 4, K, .143) all took 0-fers. Raul Reyes left the game with some sort of leg injury he suffered while running out a double in the 8th.

Eric Brown and company got oblierated today by the Seawolves, losing 12-4. Brown gave up the first 6 runs in 6 innings for his 9th loss, pushing his ERA close to 6. Stephen Clyne and Edgar Alfonzo also gave up multiple runs during their outings.

Scott Shaw had a very poor outing today, allowing 4 runs (3 earned) on 5 hits and 5 walks in 5 innings, but the Mets offense got him off the hook, and the bullpen turned in 4 innings of 3 hit shutout relief, with Josh Stinson picking up his first career FSL win.

Dillon Gee and Ryan Coultas have had surgery to repair torn labrums. Labrum tears are career threatening...which is sad, since Gee was really close to being called up (and might've been, once Redding began to suck). Coultas was a nice story, so in both cases...it's sad.

Buffalo 5, Rochester 9, Game 1
Tobi Stoner's had 4 starts in AAA since posting a 2.68 era in AA, and of them, 2 have been quality, and only one has been really good. Today, he had an awful outing, getting raked around for 8 hits and 6 runs in 5.2 innings for his second loss. Jon Switzer came in with 2 on in the 6th inning, and allowed both runners to score, giving Stoner the loss, and taking his 2nd BS.
