Binghamton 6, Bowie 1
Dillon Gee's fantastic August (split between St. Lucie and Binghamton) continued tonight with 7 terrific innings of 7 hit 1 run ball. In 5 starts this month, Gee's pitched at least 6 innings every time out, 7 twice, and has a perfect 3-0 record, with a sparkling 1.69 era. He's allowed 26 hits over 32 innings, while walking 5 and striking out 29.
Mike Carp continued his recent surge with 2 more hits, getting back to the .300 mark, and Fernando also had 2 hits, he's 6 for his last 17. Caleb Stewart and Shawn Bowman also had multi hit games for the Mets, who pounded out 9 hits. Peeter Ramos (0 for 3, run, BB, K, .227), Josh Petersen (0 for 4, K, .306), Ambi Concepcion (0 for 3, run, BB, .240, SB (22)) and Salvador Paniagua (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .255) took 0-fers.

Savannah 1, Rome 0 - 9 innings, Game 1
John Holdzkom enjoyed his best outing of the season, but he got a very tough luck ND, as Savannah was blanked for the first 8 innings. Holdzkom went 7, allowing just 2 hits, walking just 3 and striking out 9. But the game went into extras, and Holdzkom wasn't allowed to start the 8th, Rhiner Cruz went 2 innings to pick up his 2nd win.
The Gnats only had 2 hits themselves, this was a classic pitchers duel. Casey Craig's (1 for 3, run, HR, RBI, BB, K, .283, SB (24)) walkoff homer accounted for the only scoring in the game for either side. Jefferies Tatford (1 for 2, BB, K, .297) had the other hit for Savannah.

Savannah 8, Greeneville 1 - Game 2
Maikel Cleto served notice that he's not completely burned out in 2008 tonight. His last 6 starts coming into tonight: 1-5, 7.94 era, 6 GS, 28.1 IP, 35 H, 25 ER, 9/14 BB/K. But tonight, he delievered a great game in the nightcap, going 6 strong, allowing just 3 hits and a run, striking out 8 for his 5th win of the season.
The offense feasted on Rome's bullpen the entire game (they went game by committee in the nightcap), with a 2 pronged 10 hit 8 walk attack. Despite putting up 8 run, they left 11 on base. Jefferies Tatford and Michael Parker had multi hit games, while Richard Pena (0 for 2, RBI, 2 BBs, .193), Joaquin Rodriguez (0 for 2, 2 BBs, .241) and Brad Hubbert (0 for 3, run, BB, 3 Ks, .181) took 0-fers.

Brooklyn 1, Lowell 2
Another night of offensive ineptitude, and it ended up costing the Cyclones a win. The Cyclones led 1-0 going to the 9th, but Stephen Clyne gave up 2 runs thanks to 2 hits and 2 errors (Lagares (1), Jimenez (4)), and Lowell ended up with the 2-1 win. Jenrry Mejia was brilliant tonight, the 18 year old held Lowell to just 1 hit over 6 innings with 6 Ks, but thanks to Clyne, got a ND.
The Cyclones had 9 hits and 2 walks, but left 9 on base, failing to score on numerous occasions. Eric Campbell was PH for after just 1 AB. Sean Ratliff (0 for 3, K, .203), who replaced him, took an 0-fer, as did JR Voyles (0 for 4, 3 Ks, .230), and Dock Doyle (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .224). Seth Williams, Juan Lagares and Cesar Cordido had multi hit games.

Kingsport 1, Greeneville 2
Robert Carson was victimized by his defense, as Imbewer Alvarez (14) and Wilmer Flores (17) each committed errors, leading to 1 UER off Carson, that combined with the ER he gave up was enough to beat him tonight. Carson went 4.2 innings, allowing 5 hits and those 2 runs, walking 2 and striking out 4. Despite his very good ERA (1.76), he's 2-3 in Kingsport. Travis Babin rebounded from a string of horrific outings to pitch 4.1 innings of fabulous long relief, allowing just 2 hits.
The offense had just 6 hits and a walk, stranding 9. Patrick Maat drove the only run in for Kingsport with a 7th inning SF. Wilmer Flores took his 2nd straight 0-fer, and is now is in a 2 for 16 slump. Justin Garber (0 for 2, BB, K, .276), Patrick Maat (0 for 3, RBI, K, .000) and Imbewer Alvarez (0 for 4, K, .189) also took 0-fers. Stefan Welch had the only multi hit game for Kingsport.

June 2008 Hotsheet
Written June 30th (St. Lucie), July 1st (all else)
1. A+ SS Ruben Tejada R/R 9/1/89
Before June: 45 for 211, 23 runs, 7 2b, 3b, HR, 17 RBI, 1/5 SBs, 19/36 BB/K, .213/.279/.270/.549
June: 32 for 96, 12 runs, 4 2b, 3b, HR, 9 RBI, 9/8 BB/K, 3/3 SBs, .333/.393/.427/.820
Season: 77 for 307, 35 runs, 11 2b, 2 3b, 2 HR, 26 RBI, 28/44 BB/K, 4/8 SBs, .251/.315/.319/.634
After middling around for 2 months in high A, 18 year old Ruben Tejada found his stroke in June, torching the FSL to the tune of an .820 OPS in June. If you factor out his 0 for 4 on June 1st, and his 1 for 13 to end the month, from June 2nd to June 25th, Tejada's performance was even more impressive (31 for 77, 12 runs, 4 2b, 3b, HR, 9 RBI, SB, 7/4 BB/K, .403/.452/.519/.972). What makes it even more impressive is that he was in the VSL/GCL last year.
2. A/A+ LHSP Michael Antonini R/L 8/6/85
Before June: 4-2, 2.51 era, 12 GS, 61 IP, 50 H, 15/51 BB/K, 1.07 WHIP
June: 2-2, 2.35 era, 6 GS, 38.1 IP, 33 H, 7/29 BB/K, 1.04 WHIP
Season: 6-4, 2.45 era, 17 GS, 99.1 IP, 83 H, 3 HR, 22/80 BB/K, 1.06 WHIP, .223 BAA
Antonini's pretty much come from nowhere to have one of the best statistical seasons in the minors. A pretty unheralded 18th round pick in 2007, he put up a 1.96 era between Kingsport and Brooklyn last year, largely discounted due to only 36.2 innings pitched, and the level of competition he faced. Even earlier this year, he was ignored by the prospect community at large, due to beating up on the Sally League. However, his extremely impressive 4 start showing in the FSL *should* begin to generate some buzz about Mr. Antonini. He was promoted on June 9th, after 2 June starts in the Sally League, and has continued to pitch brilliant baseball, with a scant 1.71 era in 26.1 innings at the high A level. It would be a shock, but it is within the range of possibility to see him join Binghamton for a playoff push in early August. Even if he stays in the FSL, he is on the upper edge of age/level, he turns 23 in early August.
3. A+ OF Ezequiel Carrera L/L 6/11/87
Before June: 41 for 168, 21 runs, 9 2b, 5 3b, 10 RBI, 14/31 BB/K, 10/13 SBs, .244/.312/.357/.669
June: 27 for 91, 15 runs, 2b, 4 3b, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 6/17 BB/K, 7/8 SBs, .297/.365/.462/.827
Season: 88 for 259, 36 runs, 10 2b, 9 3b, 2 HR, 19 RBI, 20/48 BB/K, 17/21 SBs, .263/.331/.394/.725
Carrera was jumped basically from the GCL to the FSL, the same as Ruben Tejada, and after the same uneven first 2 months, Carrera has also responded with an outstanding June. A very good sign for Carrera this year has been his ability to handle LHP, he's batting .281/.378/.359/.738 vs LHP in 64 ABs. Carrera hit .329/.408/.406/.813 between the GCL and a 70 AB stint in Brooklyn, most of it done after he'd turned 20 (he turned 21 on 6/11 this year).
4. A+ RHSP Dillon Gee R/R 4/28/86
Before June: 3-5, 4.28 era, 11 GS, 61 IP, 63 H, 13/48 BB/K, 1.25 WHIP
June: 3-0, 0.92 era, 4 GS, 29.1 IP, 18 H, 2 HR, 1/17 BB/K, 0.65 WHIP, .178 BAA
Season: 6-5, 3.19 era, 15 GS, 90.1 IP, 81 H, 3 HR, 14/65 BB/K, 1.05 WHIP, .242 BAA
Uh, wow. One of the most dominating months you'll ever see from any prospect at any level. Dillon Gee failed to complete 7 innings ONCE in his 4 starts (6.1 innings), he went 8 innings twice, and averaged 7.1 innings per start. It wouldn't be a shock at all to see Gee in Binghamton sometime in August, perhaps joining Antonini for that playoff push.
5. A+ C Josh Thole L/R 10/28/86
Before June: 33 for 120, 18 runs, 9 2b, 3b, 2 HR, 23 RBI, 17/13 BB/K, .275/.370/.417/.786
June: 26 for 82, 5 2b, HR, 9 RBI, 11/9 BB/K, .317/.406/.415/.821
Season: 59 for 202, 32 runs, 14 2b, 3b, 3 HR, 32 RBI, 28/22 BB/K, .292/.385/.416/.800
After a miserable April (.228/.323/.386/.709), Thole's posted back to back .820+ OPS months, turning his season around and vaulting up the prospect lists (at least MY prospect list). He had a decent season last year in Savannah, backing up Francisco Pena and Sean McCraw (.267/.372/.311/.683 in 389 ABs), and a very good 61/57 BB/K ratio, but hit for no power whatsoever, with just 17 2b in 389 ABs. Already this year in 202 ABs, he's got 14 2b, and 3 HR, his SLG is up 105 points from last season. And he is only 21 years old, right in line with age/level. I would hope the Mets are cautious with Thole, and keep him in St. Lucie all season.
6. AA LHSP Jon Niese L/L 10/27/86
Before June: 4-4, 3.47 era, 12 GS, 59.2 IP, 57 H, 23/52 BB/K, 1.34 WHIP
June: 1-1, 2.53 era, 5 GS, CG, 32 IP, 25 H, 11/27 BB/K, .223 BAA
Season: 5-5, 3.14 era, 17 GS, CG, 91.2 IP, 82 H, 3 HR, 34/79 BB/K, 1.27 WHIP, .240 BAA
Niese would be being talked about a whole lot more were it not for a stretch of games in late April into mid May where he pitched awful baseball. In a span of 4 starts, he put up 3 starts with ERAs over 8 (4.1 ip, 4 er; 4.1 ip, 7 er; 3 ip, 6 er). Those starts have significantly skewed his ERA skyward. In fact, if you took those starts out, his line would be: 5-3, 1.69 era, 14 GS, 80 IP, 62 H, 25/72 BB/K, 1.09 WHIP. He would be being mentioned among the top pitching prospects in baseball. So basically, outside of 3 starts in a 4 start span, he's significantly dominated the Eastern League.
7. AA RHSP Bobby Parnell R/R 9/8/84
Before June: 4-3, 4.78 era, 11 GS, 58.1 IP, 52 H, 33/35 BB/K, 1.46 WHIP
June: 4-1, 2.80 era, 6 GS, 35.1 IP, 34 H, HR, 11/34 BB/K, .248 BAA
Season: 8-4, 4.04 era, 17 GS, 93.2 IP, 86 H, 10 HR, 44/69 BB/K, 1.39 WHIP, 244 BAA
While the beginnings of Parnell's turnaround were seen as early as May, his periphs were still slightly out of line with his numbers (4-1, 3.28 in May with 19 walks in 35.2 innings). His June numbers were much better, across the board. He had the same 4-1 record, his lone loss coming in a horrific start on June 15th (5.2 ip, 10 h, 5 er). He similarly had a disasterous outing on May 18th (5 ip, 7 h, 6 er, 5 bb). In fact, if you take those two starts out, his May+June numbers are: 8-0, 1.94 era, 10 GS, 60.1 IP, 46 H, 24/47 BB/K, 1.16 WHIP (3.58 BB/9). While his BAA did go up from .223 to .248 in June, I think most people would take that if it meant less walks (11 in 35.1 innings in June, 2.80 per 9, versus 19 in 35.2 innings in May, 4.80 per 9).
8. AA 1B/3B/LF Nick Evans R/R 1/30/86
Before June: 50 for 171, 30 runs, 8 2b, 5 3b, 8 HR, 31 RBI, 17/32 BB/K, .292/.356/.538/.894
June: 32 for 94, 18 runs, 6 2b, 2 3b, 5 HR, 18 RBI, 8/25 BB/K, .340/.392/.606/.999
Season: 82 for 265, 48 runs, 14 2b, 7 3b, 13 HR, 49 RBI, 25/57 BB/K, .309/.369/.562/.931
Evans had a brief 23 AB cup of coffee in the majors, and aside from his first game (3 for 4, 3 2b), did very little, but he really wasn't expected to. Upon rejoining the BMets in June, he proceeded to put on a show, OPSing 1.000 and getting 13 XBH in 94 ABs. Remember, this is Evans rookie season in AA, and he's excelling at it. His numbers vs LHP are as insanely high as they've always been throughout his career (.368/.439/.690/1.128), but it is his numbers vs RHP this year which are impressing (.281/.333/.500/.833). We would expect the Mets to keep Evans in Binghamton for the duration of the season, unless they fall out of it, in which case you may see Evans, along with other AA prospects, up in the majors.
9. A RHSP Scott Moviel
Before June: 3-7, 6.24 era, 11 GS, 49 IP, 63 H, 20/34 BB/K, 1.69 WHIP
June: 5-0, 2.76 era, 5 GS, 29.1 IP, 24 H, 2 HR, 6/19 BB/K, .218 BAA
Season: 8-7, 4.94 era, 16 GS, 78.1 IP, 87 H, 7 HR, 26/53 BB/K, 1.44 WHIP, .274 BAA
Moviel bounced around the bottom for 2 months in the Sally League, understandable after pitching in HS last season (!). However, much like the other rushees (Carrera and Tejada), Moviel turned it on in June, SWEEPING THE LEG!, and putting up good numbers while doing it. His BB/9 for June was cut in half from the previous 2 months combined (3.673 in April+May, 1.841 in June). He averaged almost 6 IP/GS, versus 4.455 in April+May. His hits per 9 were 2/3 lower in June, his WHIP plunged from 1.69 to 1.02. It was a great month for the righty, it remains to be seen if he can buuld off it.
10. A RHSP Maikel Cleto R/R 5/1/89
Before June: 1-4, 4.04 era, 11 G, 8 GS, 55.2 IP, 62 H, 16/36 BB/K, 1.40 WHIP
June: 1-2, 2.72 era, 6 GS, 39.2 IP, 37 H, 2 HR, 8/22 BB/K, .252 BAA
Season: 2-6, 3.49 era, 17 G, 14 GS, CGSO, 95.1 IP, 99 H, 3 HR, 24/58 BB/K, 1.29 WHIP, .273 BAA
Cleto jumped onto many prospect radars with a complete game 3 hit shutout on May 22nd, and that game seemed to energize him, as he hasn't looked back since, with a 2.63 era from that game and forward, in 8 GS, with an average of 6.833 IP/GS, including 5 games of 7 innings or more. Cleto's been doing it with a heavy power sinker, generating a better then 2:1 go/fo ratio in June, where he averaged 6.61 IP/GS. He needs to K more batters, but his walk rate is very low for someone so young, at just 1.815 per 9 in June, and 2.266 overall on the season. Cleto is definitely one to keep an eye on, he could vault up prospect lists with a good season this year, at just age 19.
Not Hot
1. A+ 1B/OF Lucas Duda L/R 2/3/86
Before June: 63 for 216, 24 runs, 14 2b, 5 HR, 36 RBI, 23/51 BB/K, .292/.365/.426/.791
June: 18 for 88, 6 runs, 5 2b, 3b, 8 RBI, 17/26 BB/K, .205/.336/.284/.621
Season: 81 for 304, 30 runs, 19 2b, 3b, 5 HR, 44 RBI, 40/77 BB/K, .266/.356/.385/.741
Yeesh. Lucas Duda had about as nightmarish a month as you could imagine, he struck out once per game, and didn't do much hitting. Luckily for him, he did walk 17 times during the month, the most of any month for him, that was the only thing which saved him from a sub .600 month. It was nice to see that BB/K ratio firm up, but his last 2 months combined have been brutal. In addition, Duda's struggling mightily vs LHP, hitting just .195/.300/.253/.553 in 87 ABs. It is a long jump from Brooklyn to St. Lucie, but he has to rebound in July.
2. A OF Richard Pena R/R 8/15/87
Before June: 33 for 129, 21 runs, 8 2b, 8 RBI< 9/12 SBs, 17/30 BB/K
June: 12 for 74, 7 runs, 4 RBI, 13/28 BB/K, 5/6 SBs, .162/.297/.162/.459
Season: 45 for 203, 28 runs, 8 2b, 12 RBI, 30/58 BB/K, 14/18 SBs, .222/.328/.261/.589
Pena was having a decent season before June, albeit with very little power, but a respectable walk rate. Pena spent the balance of the 2007 season in Kingsport, where he hit .227/.365/.357/.722 in 154 ABs. And whether it's a coincidence or not, he fell apart after hitting the 175 AB mark this year, which was 18 fewer then he had last season (he's 2 for his last 28 with 11 Ks, a very good .071 average). Pena obviously needs to find his second wind, and quickly.
Not Enough PT to Qualify
1. R SS Wilmer Flores R/R
22 for 57, 13 runs, 3 2b, 3b, 3 HR, 17 RBI, 0/8 BB/K, .386/.410/.632/1.041
He's 16. Nuff said.
2. R 1B/3B Stefan Welch L/R 8/12/88
18 for 45, 12 runs, 2 2b, 4 3b, 9 RBI, 4/2 BB/K, .400/.451/.622/1.073
He's 19. He was signed out of Australia in the 2006 IFA period, and played in the GCL last year, where he hit .288/.346/.353/.699 in 139 ABs, with an 11/22 BB/K ratio.
3. R OF Gabriel Zavala R/R 5/14/87
12 for 35, 6 runs, 6 2b, 3b, 7 RBI, 0/13 BB/K, .343/.361/.571/.933
Zavala was signed during the 2004 IFA period out of Valencia, Venezuela. 2007 was his first season in the states, he hit .285/.364/.479/.843 in 165 ABs in the GCL. He's playing for Kingsport this season.
4. A- IF Zach Lutz
11 for 32, 3 runs, 3 2b, 6 RBI, 6/6 BB/K, .344/.447/.438/.885
Lutz was drafted in the 4th round of the 2007 draft, but missed all of the minor league season with a foot injury.
5. R 3B Jefry Marte R/R
8 for 26, run, 4 2b, 3b, 5 RBI, 1/6 BB/K, .308/.345/.538/.883
Marte comes from the same IFA class as Wilmer Flores, but he is playing in the GCL, where he is doing very well in 26 ABs.
Just Missed:
AA 1B/LF Mike Carp
June: 30 for 98, 13 runs, 4 2b, 4 HR, 19 RBI, 17/19 BB/K, .306/.409/.469/.878
A late month swoon for the ages (6 for 50) prevented Carp from nabbing the top spot in this month's hotsheet, and the longer the slump went on, the further he fell, until he fell completely out of the top 10. Still, I wanted to acknowledge Carp, and his ridiculous hot streak which, unfortunately for him, bridged perfectly the months of May and June. Between May 19th and June 17th, you could not get Mike Carp out. At all.
May 19th - June 17th: 40 for 97, 14 runs, 7 2b, 3 HR, 20 RBI, 19/16 BB/K, .412/.509/.577/1.086
A+ RHSP Dylan Owen
June: 4-1, 4.39 era, 5 GS, CG, 26.2 IP, 33 H, 4 HR, 4/26 BB/K, 1.39 WHIP, .297 BAA
Like Carp, it was a late month swoon that prevented him from cracking the top 10. Owen got demolished for 8 hits and 6 runs in just 3.1 innings in his final start, which pushed his monthly ERA to that bloated 4.39 you see, up from the 2.70 it was before that start. Owen was 4-0, 2.70 prior to that awful outing, and much like Carp, I wanted to acknowledge that fine pitching.
1. A+ SS Ruben Tejada R/R 9/1/89
Before June: 45 for 211, 23 runs, 7 2b, 3b, HR, 17 RBI, 1/5 SBs, 19/36 BB/K, .213/.279/.270/.549
June: 32 for 96, 12 runs, 4 2b, 3b, HR, 9 RBI, 9/8 BB/K, 3/3 SBs, .333/.393/.427/.820
Season: 77 for 307, 35 runs, 11 2b, 2 3b, 2 HR, 26 RBI, 28/44 BB/K, 4/8 SBs, .251/.315/.319/.634
After middling around for 2 months in high A, 18 year old Ruben Tejada found his stroke in June, torching the FSL to the tune of an .820 OPS in June. If you factor out his 0 for 4 on June 1st, and his 1 for 13 to end the month, from June 2nd to June 25th, Tejada's performance was even more impressive (31 for 77, 12 runs, 4 2b, 3b, HR, 9 RBI, SB, 7/4 BB/K, .403/.452/.519/.972). What makes it even more impressive is that he was in the VSL/GCL last year.
2. A/A+ LHSP Michael Antonini R/L 8/6/85
Before June: 4-2, 2.51 era, 12 GS, 61 IP, 50 H, 15/51 BB/K, 1.07 WHIP
June: 2-2, 2.35 era, 6 GS, 38.1 IP, 33 H, 7/29 BB/K, 1.04 WHIP
Season: 6-4, 2.45 era, 17 GS, 99.1 IP, 83 H, 3 HR, 22/80 BB/K, 1.06 WHIP, .223 BAA
Antonini's pretty much come from nowhere to have one of the best statistical seasons in the minors. A pretty unheralded 18th round pick in 2007, he put up a 1.96 era between Kingsport and Brooklyn last year, largely discounted due to only 36.2 innings pitched, and the level of competition he faced. Even earlier this year, he was ignored by the prospect community at large, due to beating up on the Sally League. However, his extremely impressive 4 start showing in the FSL *should* begin to generate some buzz about Mr. Antonini. He was promoted on June 9th, after 2 June starts in the Sally League, and has continued to pitch brilliant baseball, with a scant 1.71 era in 26.1 innings at the high A level. It would be a shock, but it is within the range of possibility to see him join Binghamton for a playoff push in early August. Even if he stays in the FSL, he is on the upper edge of age/level, he turns 23 in early August.
3. A+ OF Ezequiel Carrera L/L 6/11/87
Before June: 41 for 168, 21 runs, 9 2b, 5 3b, 10 RBI, 14/31 BB/K, 10/13 SBs, .244/.312/.357/.669
June: 27 for 91, 15 runs, 2b, 4 3b, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 6/17 BB/K, 7/8 SBs, .297/.365/.462/.827
Season: 88 for 259, 36 runs, 10 2b, 9 3b, 2 HR, 19 RBI, 20/48 BB/K, 17/21 SBs, .263/.331/.394/.725
Carrera was jumped basically from the GCL to the FSL, the same as Ruben Tejada, and after the same uneven first 2 months, Carrera has also responded with an outstanding June. A very good sign for Carrera this year has been his ability to handle LHP, he's batting .281/.378/.359/.738 vs LHP in 64 ABs. Carrera hit .329/.408/.406/.813 between the GCL and a 70 AB stint in Brooklyn, most of it done after he'd turned 20 (he turned 21 on 6/11 this year).
4. A+ RHSP Dillon Gee R/R 4/28/86
Before June: 3-5, 4.28 era, 11 GS, 61 IP, 63 H, 13/48 BB/K, 1.25 WHIP
June: 3-0, 0.92 era, 4 GS, 29.1 IP, 18 H, 2 HR, 1/17 BB/K, 0.65 WHIP, .178 BAA
Season: 6-5, 3.19 era, 15 GS, 90.1 IP, 81 H, 3 HR, 14/65 BB/K, 1.05 WHIP, .242 BAA
Uh, wow. One of the most dominating months you'll ever see from any prospect at any level. Dillon Gee failed to complete 7 innings ONCE in his 4 starts (6.1 innings), he went 8 innings twice, and averaged 7.1 innings per start. It wouldn't be a shock at all to see Gee in Binghamton sometime in August, perhaps joining Antonini for that playoff push.
5. A+ C Josh Thole L/R 10/28/86
Before June: 33 for 120, 18 runs, 9 2b, 3b, 2 HR, 23 RBI, 17/13 BB/K, .275/.370/.417/.786
June: 26 for 82, 5 2b, HR, 9 RBI, 11/9 BB/K, .317/.406/.415/.821
Season: 59 for 202, 32 runs, 14 2b, 3b, 3 HR, 32 RBI, 28/22 BB/K, .292/.385/.416/.800
After a miserable April (.228/.323/.386/.709), Thole's posted back to back .820+ OPS months, turning his season around and vaulting up the prospect lists (at least MY prospect list). He had a decent season last year in Savannah, backing up Francisco Pena and Sean McCraw (.267/.372/.311/.683 in 389 ABs), and a very good 61/57 BB/K ratio, but hit for no power whatsoever, with just 17 2b in 389 ABs. Already this year in 202 ABs, he's got 14 2b, and 3 HR, his SLG is up 105 points from last season. And he is only 21 years old, right in line with age/level. I would hope the Mets are cautious with Thole, and keep him in St. Lucie all season.
6. AA LHSP Jon Niese L/L 10/27/86
Before June: 4-4, 3.47 era, 12 GS, 59.2 IP, 57 H, 23/52 BB/K, 1.34 WHIP
June: 1-1, 2.53 era, 5 GS, CG, 32 IP, 25 H, 11/27 BB/K, .223 BAA
Season: 5-5, 3.14 era, 17 GS, CG, 91.2 IP, 82 H, 3 HR, 34/79 BB/K, 1.27 WHIP, .240 BAA
Niese would be being talked about a whole lot more were it not for a stretch of games in late April into mid May where he pitched awful baseball. In a span of 4 starts, he put up 3 starts with ERAs over 8 (4.1 ip, 4 er; 4.1 ip, 7 er; 3 ip, 6 er). Those starts have significantly skewed his ERA skyward. In fact, if you took those starts out, his line would be: 5-3, 1.69 era, 14 GS, 80 IP, 62 H, 25/72 BB/K, 1.09 WHIP. He would be being mentioned among the top pitching prospects in baseball. So basically, outside of 3 starts in a 4 start span, he's significantly dominated the Eastern League.
7. AA RHSP Bobby Parnell R/R 9/8/84
Before June: 4-3, 4.78 era, 11 GS, 58.1 IP, 52 H, 33/35 BB/K, 1.46 WHIP
June: 4-1, 2.80 era, 6 GS, 35.1 IP, 34 H, HR, 11/34 BB/K, .248 BAA
Season: 8-4, 4.04 era, 17 GS, 93.2 IP, 86 H, 10 HR, 44/69 BB/K, 1.39 WHIP, 244 BAA
While the beginnings of Parnell's turnaround were seen as early as May, his periphs were still slightly out of line with his numbers (4-1, 3.28 in May with 19 walks in 35.2 innings). His June numbers were much better, across the board. He had the same 4-1 record, his lone loss coming in a horrific start on June 15th (5.2 ip, 10 h, 5 er). He similarly had a disasterous outing on May 18th (5 ip, 7 h, 6 er, 5 bb). In fact, if you take those two starts out, his May+June numbers are: 8-0, 1.94 era, 10 GS, 60.1 IP, 46 H, 24/47 BB/K, 1.16 WHIP (3.58 BB/9). While his BAA did go up from .223 to .248 in June, I think most people would take that if it meant less walks (11 in 35.1 innings in June, 2.80 per 9, versus 19 in 35.2 innings in May, 4.80 per 9).
8. AA 1B/3B/LF Nick Evans R/R 1/30/86
Before June: 50 for 171, 30 runs, 8 2b, 5 3b, 8 HR, 31 RBI, 17/32 BB/K, .292/.356/.538/.894
June: 32 for 94, 18 runs, 6 2b, 2 3b, 5 HR, 18 RBI, 8/25 BB/K, .340/.392/.606/.999
Season: 82 for 265, 48 runs, 14 2b, 7 3b, 13 HR, 49 RBI, 25/57 BB/K, .309/.369/.562/.931
Evans had a brief 23 AB cup of coffee in the majors, and aside from his first game (3 for 4, 3 2b), did very little, but he really wasn't expected to. Upon rejoining the BMets in June, he proceeded to put on a show, OPSing 1.000 and getting 13 XBH in 94 ABs. Remember, this is Evans rookie season in AA, and he's excelling at it.

We would expect the Mets to keep Evans in Binghamton for the duration of the season, unless they fall out of it, in which case you may see Evans, along with other AA prospects, up in the majors.

Season: 8-7, 4.94 era, 16 GS, 78.1 IP, 87 H, 7 HR, 26/53 BB/K, 1.44 WHIP, .274 BAA
Moviel bounced around the bottom for 2 months in the Sally League, understandable after pitching in HS last season (!). However, much like the other rushees (Carrera and Tejada), Moviel turned it on in June, SWEEPING THE LEG!, and putting up good numbers while doing it.

Pena obviously needs to find his second wind, and quickly.
Not Enough PT to Qualify
1. R SS Wilmer Flores R/R
22 for 57, 13 runs, 3 2b, 3b, 3 HR, 17 RBI, 0/8 BB/K, .386/.410/.632/1.041
He's 16. Nuff said.
2. R 1B/3B Stefan Welch L/R 8/12/88
18 for 45, 12 runs, 2 2b, 4 3b, 9 RBI, 4/2 BB/K, .400/.451/.622/1.073
He's 19. He was signed out of Australia in the 2006 IFA period, and played in the GCL last year, where he hit .288/.346/.353/.699 in 139 ABs, with an 11/22 BB/K ratio.
3. R OF Gabriel Zavala R/R 5/14/87
12 for 35, 6 runs, 6 2b, 3b, 7 RBI, 0/13 BB/K, .343/.361/.571/.933
Zavala was signed during the 2004 IFA period out of Valencia, Venezuela. 2007 was his first season in the states, he hit .285/.364/.479/.843 in 165 ABs in the GCL. He's playing for Kingsport this season.
4. A- IF Zach Lutz
11 for 32, 3 runs, 3 2b, 6 RBI, 6/6 BB/K, .344/.447/.438/.885
Lutz was drafted in the 4th round of the 2007 draft, but missed all of the minor league season with a foot injury.
5. R 3B Jefry Marte R/R
8 for 26, run, 4 2b, 3b, 5 RBI, 1/6 BB/K, .308/.345/.538/.883
Marte comes from the same IFA class as Wilmer Flores, but he is playing in the GCL, where he is doing very well in 26 ABs.
Just Missed:
AA 1B/LF Mike Carp
June: 30 for 98, 13 runs, 4 2b, 4 HR, 19 RBI, 17/19 BB/K, .306/.409/.469/.878
A late month swoon for the ages (6 for 50) prevented Carp from nabbing the top spot in this month's hotsheet, and the longer the slump went on, the further he fell, until he fell completely out of the top 10. Still, I wanted to acknowledge Carp, and his ridiculous hot streak which, unfortunately for him, bridged perfectly the months of May and June. Between May 19th and June 17th, you could not get Mike Carp out. At all.
May 19th - June 17th: 40 for 97, 14 runs, 7 2b, 3 HR, 20 RBI, 19/16 BB/K, .412/.509/.577/1.086
A+ RHSP Dylan Owen
June: 4-1, 4.39 era, 5 GS, CG, 26.2 IP, 33 H, 4 HR, 4/26 BB/K, 1.39 WHIP, .297 BAA
Like Carp, it was a late month swoon that prevented him from cracking the top 10. Owen got demolished for 8 hits and 6 runs in just 3.1 innings in his final start, which pushed his monthly ERA to that bloated 4.39 you see, up from the 2.70 it was before that start. Owen was 4-0, 2.70 prior to that awful outing, and much like Carp, I wanted to acknowledge that fine pitching.

Binghamton 8, Akron 11 in 11 innings
Tobi Stoner had a second straight miserable outing, and Joe Hietpas compounded it with an awful relief outing, but the Mets picked themselves off the mat with back to back 3 run innings (8th and 9th), roaring back to tie the game at 8 and 8. However, in his 3rd inning of relief, Tim LaVigne was jacked up for 3 runs on 3 hits and a walk. The Mets went down 123 in the bottom half of the inning.
The Mets had 16 hits, but only 2 for XBH, bunching hits together in the final 2 innings to score 6 innings. The top 4 in the order went 10 for 22 with 6 runs scored and 4 RBI. Every regular except Jose Coronado had a hit, 6 players had 2+.

Another big game for the likes of Brandon Richey and Zach Lutz, who each were 2 for 3.

6/24 Minor League Report! EVANS, TEJADA, Antonini, Cleto!
New Orleans 4, Omaha 5
Willie Collazo's defense betrayed him today, he gave up 7 hits and 4 runs in 5 innings, but only one was earned, as the useless piece of shit known as Abraham Nunez committed 2 errors which led to 3 UER off Collazo. The offense tried to come back a few times, but fell short by a run.
Argenis Reyes, Val Pascucci, Raul Gonzalez, Gustavo Molina and Anderson Hernandez all took 0-fers. The Zs had just 5 hits, but drew 8 walks.

The game wasn't as close as the score indicates, this was a 6-0 game heading to the bottom of the 9th, the Mets put up 4, but Mike Nickeas grounded out with the tying runs on base to end it. Nick Evans and Caleb Stewart had multi hit games, while Mike Carp, Ambi Concepcion (0 for 3, K, .245), Mike Nickeas (0 for 4, .250) and Jon Malo (0 for 3, .227) took 0-fers.
Tobi Stoner had his first rough outing in AA (11 ip, 8 h, 2 er prior 2 GS), he went 6, giving up 9 hits and 4 runs, taking his first loss. Eddie Camacho pitched 2 scoreless innings in relief, and the runs that ended up as the difference were given up by recently re-promoted Edgar Alfonzo.

Ruben Tejada capped off his big day with a walkoff single in the bottom of the 9th, scoring Ezequiel Carrera (who'd doubled), and giving the Mets a 3-2 victory. Tejada had 3 hits, and is now batting .387/.439/.493/.932 in his last 75 ABs (6/2-6/24; 29 for 75, 12 runs, 3 2b, 3b, HR, 9 RBI, 7/4 BB/K, SB). Not bad for an 18 year old in the FSL after playing in the VSL/GCL last season. The top 3 in the order (Carrera, Tejada and Duda) were a combined 7 for 12 with 2 runs, 2 2b, 2 RBI. Josh Thole and Jordan Abruzzo continued the catching tandem of death routine they've been perfecting the last few days, going 4 for 8 with a run. Victor Mendez (0 for 4, .296), DJ Wabick (0 for 4, .275), and Luis Rivera (0 for 4, .233) took 0-fers.
Michael Antonini had another fine outing for St. Lucie, his 3rd in a row. He has yet to fail to go at least 6 innings, and he has yet to give up more then 2 runs in any outing. Tonight was no exception, he went 6.1 innings, allowing 6 hits and 2 runs to raise his ERA to 2.37. However, he is getting the Angel Calero treatment, he took another ND. Emary Frederick got the win in relief with a scoreless 9th.

Stefan Welch had the only multi hit game of the night, while the first 4 in the order each had one hit. Gabriel Zavala (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .261), Pedro Zapata (0 for 4, .091), Doug McNulty (0 for 3, .000) and Rafael Fernandez (0 for 3, K, .176) all took 0-fers.
Guillaume LeDuc started and was very good, with 5 innings of 4 hit ball, he only allowed an UER, and struck out 4. Phillips Orta was charged with 2 UER over his 2 innings of work, and Junior Guerra finished off the game.

Willie Collazo's defense betrayed him today, he gave up 7 hits and 4 runs in 5 innings, but only one was earned, as the useless piece of shit known as Abraham Nunez committed 2 errors which led to 3 UER off Collazo. The offense tried to come back a few times, but fell short by a run.
Argenis Reyes, Val Pascucci, Raul Gonzalez, Gustavo Molina and Anderson Hernandez all took 0-fers. The Zs had just 5 hits, but drew 8 walks.

The game wasn't as close as the score indicates, this was a 6-0 game heading to the bottom of the 9th, the Mets put up 4, but Mike Nickeas grounded out with the tying runs on base to end it. Nick Evans and Caleb Stewart had multi hit games, while Mike Carp, Ambi Concepcion (0 for 3, K, .245), Mike Nickeas (0 for 4, .250) and Jon Malo (0 for 3, .227) took 0-fers.
Tobi Stoner had his first rough outing in AA (11 ip, 8 h, 2 er prior 2 GS), he went 6, giving up 9 hits and 4 runs, taking his first loss. Eddie Camacho pitched 2 scoreless innings in relief, and the runs that ended up as the difference were given up by recently re-promoted Edgar Alfonzo.

Ruben Tejada capped off his big day with a walkoff single in the bottom of the 9th, scoring Ezequiel Carrera (who'd doubled), and giving the Mets a 3-2 victory. Tejada had 3 hits, and is now batting .387/.439/.493/.932 in his last 75 ABs (6/2-6/24; 29 for 75, 12 runs, 3 2b, 3b, HR, 9 RBI, 7/4 BB/K, SB). Not bad for an 18 year old in the FSL after playing in the VSL/GCL last season. The top 3 in the order (Carrera, Tejada and Duda) were a combined 7 for 12 with 2 runs, 2 2b, 2 RBI. Josh Thole and Jordan Abruzzo continued the catching tandem of death routine they've been perfecting the last few days, going 4 for 8 with a run. Victor Mendez (0 for 4, .296), DJ Wabick (0 for 4, .275), and Luis Rivera (0 for 4, .233) took 0-fers.
Michael Antonini had another fine outing for St. Lucie, his 3rd in a row. He has yet to fail to go at least 6 innings, and he has yet to give up more then 2 runs in any outing. Tonight was no exception, he went 6.1 innings, allowing 6 hits and 2 runs to raise his ERA to 2.37. However, he is getting the Angel Calero treatment, he took another ND. Emary Frederick got the win in relief with a scoreless 9th.

Tobi Stoner was in line for his first AA win, until Tim LaVigne stepped onto the mound in the 9th, with a 2-1 lead.

Ezequiel Carrera was on base twice, with a single and homer, so the top of the lineup did it's job. Lucas Duda, out of the 3 hole, broke out of a month long slump with 2 hits and a walk. The three of them combined to score all 5 Met runs. Victor Mendez and recently promoted catcher Jordan Abruzzo had the other 2 RBI.
All this was in back of Michael Antonini, who earned his first high A win with 6.2 terrific innings, allowing just 4 hits and a run, while striking out 6.

Jose Coronado, Nick Evans, Mike Carp and Josh Petersen had the other 4 hits. Ambi Concepcion (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .246), Emmanuel Garcia (0 for 3, 2 Ks, .211) took 0-fers.

Michael Antonini's FSL debut went much better then Angel Calero's did, but Antonini lacks the W Calero got (sweet justice for the injustices done in Savannah, lol). Antonini went 6 innings, allowing 6 hits and 2 runs, walking just 1, while striking out 3. Emary Frederick allowed 2 runs (none of which he was on the mound for) to allow the game to be tied in the 8th. It was German Marte who allowed both of Frederick's runs to score, so he was tagged with a BS. Casey Hoorelbeke finished up the game with 2.2 innings, allowing an UER on a Jason Jacobs error, his 3rd.
After a couple nights of cooling off (2 for his last 14), Ruben Tejada bumped his average back over .230, going 3 for 5 with a run scored. Ezequiel Carrera (0 for 5, 2 Ks, .256), Lucas Duda (0 for 4, run, BB, 3 Ks, .277), Jason Jacobs (0 for 2, RBI, BB, K, .225), and Matt Smith (0 for 3, run, BB, K, 2 for 12 (.167)), all took 0-fers.

Maikel Cleto was outstanding tonight, going 7 innings for the 3rd time in his last 5 starts, giving up 3 hits and a run, but getting a tough luck ND. The Gnats scored a run in the 9th (on a Jacob Elgsti RBI 1b) to make a winner out of Nick Abel.
The top two in the order (Greg Veloz and Matt Bouchard), went 0 for 7 with a walk and K, which would be a good reason why they only scored single runs in the 1st and 9th. Casey Craig hit a solo homer in the 1st, and then there was Elgsti's walkoff single. Joaquin Rodriguez (0 for 4, K, .248) and Francisco Pena (0 for 3, BB, .247) took 0-fers.

Nelson Figueroa had breezed through the first 3 innings, but he couldn't get out of the 4th, giving up 5 runs in the frame. Tim McNab (2.1) and Juan Padilla (2) provided time for the offense to come back, but they managed just 4 hits and a run.
Val Pascucci, Michel Abreu and Robinson Cancel had the hits, with Cancel getting a pair, the lone RBI was on Pascucci's 12th homer, in the 7th inning.
