Armando Rodriguez left the game after coming out to warm up for the 5th inning with an injury, but before that, he was well on his way to his best outing of the season, he'd allowed 1 hit and 1 UER in 4 innings. Chris Hilliard relieved him and picked up the win with 4 hitless innings of long relief. Erik Turgeon picked up his first save with a scoreless 9th.

The Gnats themselves had just 7 hits and drew 2 walks, while going 2 for 9 (.222) with RISP, leaving 7 on base and striking out just 5 times.

Pat Misch was the beneficiary of the outburst, despite pitching very poorly, he got his second win, allowing 6 runs (5 earned) on 8 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings. Kiko Calero had a magnificant outing tonight, going 2.2 innings allowing just a walk with 5 Ks. John Lujan, he of the 94-96 fastball, pitched a scoreless 9th.

The BMets made like the big Mets @ Citifield, racing away to 4 triples, 2 by Brahiam Maldonado, as they won 8-7 in extras. Brad Holt had an awful outing, getting just one out, while giving up 5 runs on 3 hits, a walk and HBP. Josh Stinson came in with the bases loaded and allowed all 3 IHR to score, then allowed one of his own, before settling down and pitching a solid 4 innings of long relief, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits. Roy Merritt picked up the win with 2 perfect innings of relief.

The Mets had 13 hits and drew 4 walks, while going 5 for 14 (.357) with RISP, leaving 11 on base, and striking out 11 times. Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Zach Lutz, Luke Montz, and Brahiam Maldonado had multi hit games, no Met took an 0-fer.

A+ Florida State League: St. Lucie 3/6/2, Fort Myers 5/6/4

Jeurys Familia was scratched from his outing tonight, as of now, we don't know why. So, it was a bullpen game for the Mets, and they held the lead going to the top of the 9th, but with their regular closer forced to pitch 3 innings of long relief, Jose Bierd came in for the save and blew it, allowing 3 runs to take the loss.

The offense for the Mets had just 6 hits, 2 walks and one hit with RISP (in 9 ABs), while leaving 6 on base and striking out 9 times. Richard Lucas, Jean Luc Blaquiere (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .200) and Seth Williams (0 for 4, K, .083) took 0-fers. Reese Havens made his 2010 debut and was 1 for 3.

Mark Cohoon ended his April on a high note, with his 4th win, pitching 6 innings of 6 hit 2 run ball. The Gnats had just 6 hits, 4 walks, and just 2 hits (in 10 ABs) with RISP, but scored 7 nonetheless. Juan Lagares had the only multi hit game, while Wilmer Flores, Sam Honeck (0 for 3, run, BB, K, .000), Jeff Flagg (0 for 3, K, .187) and Alonzo Harris took 0-fers.

MPH System Audit IV Part III: Middle Infielders

--------------------------
MIDDLE INFIELDERS
--------------------------

1. A SS Wilmer Flores R/R 8/6/91 (A Savannah .264/.305/.332/.637, 129 for 488, 44 runs, 20 2b, 2 3b, 3 HR, 36 RBI, 22/72 BB/K)

Flores was the Mets prize signing out of the three big name IFAs they signed in 2007. He arrived with a splash in 2008, torching the Appy League as a 16/17 year old, to the tune of a .850 OPS. The Mets rightfully pushed Wilmer to the Sally League in 2009, and he had mixed results.

Flores opened the 2009 season in Savannah, where he had his ups and downs. His K rate (.148) was excellent, his BB/K (.3056) was good for his age, but he hit for no power whatsoever (68 IsoP). However, much like Jefry Marte, he had stretches of season where he was downright impressive with his ability to hit for a high average and not strike out. Combining his months of April, June, July and September, Flores hit .296/.330/.378/.708 in 307 ABs, with just 40 Ks (.130 K rate), and a 11/40 BB/K (.2750). Conversely, in his down months (May and August), he hit just .210/.263/.254/.517 in 181 ABs, with 32 Ks (.177 K rate), but a better BB/K ratio (11/32, .3438).

Flores is an advanced hitter, as evidenced by his holding his own for the majority of the 2009 season, and his flat out domination in 2008. He has a strong line drive approach which is conducive to hitting for power, and he can also hit for a high average. Flores doesn't strike out, which bodes well for the future, as he fills out and begins to hit the ball with more authority. Flores will likely have to be moved off shortstop in the future, but he doesn't have the speed/range to play the outfield. A move to either corner infield spot is the best option, however, with David Wright and (hopefully) Ike Davis entrenched there, it will be interesting to see what happens.

THE FUTURE: Flores likely showed enough with the bat to warrant a promotion to the FSL, but we'll say he spends two seaons there before moving up, putting him 4 years out, sometime in the 2013 season.

2. A+ SS/2B Reese Havens L/R 10/20/86 (A+ St. Lucie .247/.361/.422/.784, 89 for 360, 53 runs, 19 2b, 3b, 14 HR, 52 RBI, 55/73 BB/K, AFL Surprise .368/.478/.658/1.136, 14 for 38, 9 runs, 3 2b, 3b, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 8/9 BB/K)

Total 2009 Stats: .259/.372/.445/.817, 103 for 398, 62 runs, 22 2b, 2 3b, 16 HR, 57 RBI, 63/82 BB/K, .206 K rate, .7683 BB/K ratio

The Mets picked Havens with the 2nd of their 3 first round picks in 2008, 22nd overall out of South Carolina, and sent him to Brooklyn, where he showed considerable power (11 XBH in 85 ABs, .471 SLG, 8th in the NYPL). He was hampered by injuries, however, and therefore couldn't get into a consistent rhythm. Injuries followed him up to the FSL in 2009, but he performed very well there.

The Mets sent Havens to the FSL for 2009, where he did well, outside of a low batting average, all of his periphals were extremely good (114 IsoD, 175 IsoP). During the Arizona Fall Leauge, the Mets began the process of moving Havens to 2b, a process which will continue during the 2010 season, in Binghamton.

Havens has very good power for his position, and yet, he is also a very disciplined hitter (55/73 BB/K in St. Lucie, 63/82 overall), who doesn't strike out a lot (.203 K rate), and draws a very healthy amount of walks (114 IsoD). He's iffy defensively, which is why the Mets are moving him to 2b (well, along with Jose Reyes blocking SS's in the organization for the next decade (we hope)). Havens has the arm and range for 2b, and should be adequate at the position.

THE FUTURE: Havens will open 2010 in Binghamton, and should be in a position to challenge Luis Castillo and/or Ruben Tejada for the 2b job sometime in 2011.

3. AA SS/2B Ruben Tejada R/R 9/1/89 (AA Binghamton .289/.351/.381/.732, 141 for 488, 59 runs, 24 2b, 3 3b, 5 HR, 46 RBI, 37/59 BB/K, 19/22 SBs, AFL Surprise .254/.338/.373/.711, 15 for 59, 9 runs, 4 2b, HR, 9 RBI, 6/9 BB/K, 4 SBs)

Total 2009 Stats: .285/.350/.380/.730, 156 for 547, 68 runs, 28 2b, 3 3b, 6 HR, 55 RBI, 23/26 SBs, 43/68 BB/K, .124 K rate, .6324 BB/K ratio

The Mets signed Tejada out of Panama in the summer of 2006, and he began the 07 season in the Venezuelan Summer League, but performed at such a high level that the Mets secured a visa for him and brought him stateside, assigning him to the rookie level Gulf Coast League. 2008 saw Tejada in St. Lucie where he struggled bigtime. However, the Mets (IMO, foolishly) promoted Tejada to Binghamton in 2009, where he had a very good season, batting .290/.350 at age 19.

Tejada was sent to Binghamton for the 2009 season, and he performed very well, showing off a very good eye, and knowledge of the strike zone (.121 K rate, .6271 BB/K ratio). Tejada also showed off some good power with 24 2b and 5 homers in 488 ABs, and a very good success rate in steals (86.36%). Factoring out his awful April (.222/.347/.286/.632), Tejada hit an impressive .299/.351/.395/.746 in 425 ABs

Tejada is a line drive gap hitter who should rack up doubles and triples, but not many HRs. His big value will be getting on base and then using his speed to steal bases and wreak havoc atop a batting order. Tejada likely is going to move to 2b in 2010, playing in Buffalo.

THE FUTURE: Tejada will open the season in the majors playing shortstop while Jose Reyes is on the DL, then likely go down to Buffalo and move to 2b.

Edit: And now it looks like he won't, lol. He should open 2010 in Buffalo playing 2b.

4. R/A 2b Alonzo Harris R/R 11/16/89 (R Kingsport .273/.321/.447/.768, 69 for 253, 49 runs, 4 2b, 5 3b, 10 HR, 39 RBI, 17/59 BB/K, 15/21 SBs, A Savannah .200/.259/.200/.459, 5 for 25, 3 runs, 3 RBI, 2/8 BB/K)

Total 2009 Stats: .266/.316/.424/.740, 74 for 278, 52 runs, 4 2b, 5 3b, 10 HR, 42 RBI, 19/67 BB/K, 15/21 SBs

Harris was drafted by the Mets in the 39th round of the 2007 draft out of McComb High in Mississippi, and began his pro career in the GCL in 2008. The Mets conservatively sent Harris to Kingsport in 2009, where he performed well, before a late season 23 AB cameo in Savannah to end his season.

Harris spent the bulk of his 09 with rookie level Kingsport, where he hit well. 7 of his 10 HRs came in the month of July, when he ripped the Appy League up to the tune of .306/.366/.541/.906 in 111 ABs. Consistency was Harris' big downfall in 2009, as in August, he hit just .232/.275/.357/.632 in 112 ABs.

Harris is an all or nothing hitter at this point in his career, which leads to Ks and HRs. Harris' best tool offensively is likely his speed, he is one of the fastest minor leaguers the Mets have. Harris is shaky defensively at 2b, so a move to CF is not out of the question.

THE FUTURE: Harris should open 2010 in Savannnah, and ascend a level per season thereafter, putting him in AAA in 2013, and in a position to be called up that season or the next.

5. All Over 2b Jordany Valdespin 12/23/87 L/R (A Savannah .322/.366/.480/.846, 49 for 152, 30 runs, 9 2b, 3 3b, 3 HR, 18 RBI, 11/32 BB/K, 7/9 SBs, R DSL .333/.421/.600/1.021, 5 for 15, 2 3b, 5 RBI, 3/1 BB/K, 1/2 SBs, R GCL .174/.208/.174/.382, 4 for 23, 1/3 BB/K, SB, A- Brooklyn .279/.338/.397/.735, 19 for 68, 10 runs, 3 2b, 3b, HR, 5 RBI, 5/16 BB/K, 4/7 SBs, DWL Licey .300/.300/.450/.750, 6 for 20, 4 runs, HR, 2 RBI, 3 SBs)

Total 2009 Stats: .299/.346/.439/.784, 83 for 278, 44 runs, 12 2b, 6 3b, 5 HR, 30 RBI, 16/22 SBs, 20/52 BB/K, .187 K rate, .3846 BB/K ratio

Valdespin got off to a roaring start in April, prompting people from all over the prospect community to scower the web/their sources for information on the sudden sensation. Valdespin, who played the whole season at age 21, got off to a .385/.406/.615/1.021 start in April, before disciplinary issues landed him on the suspension list. After that, he went on a tour of the system, with stops in the DSL, GCL, and then Brooklyn. He's got talent, but whether he can mature (read: get his head extracted from his ass) is the question.

Valdespin has most of his power to the pull side, and much like Alonzo Harris, he is a feast or famine hitter, though he seemed to make strides in that department this season. Valdespin has decent speed, as evidenced by his 16 steals, but nothing earth-shattering. He's athletic and fluid when playing 2b, but isn't a good defensive shortstop. He does have a strong arm, which leads him to try and make plays he shouldn't.

THE FUTURE: Valdespin played in both Savannah and Brooklyn, meaning he should open 2010 in St. Lucie, and then ascend a level per season, making his debut sometime in the 2013 season.

6. A+ 2b Hector Pellot R/R 2/8/87 (A+ St. Lucie .277/.352/.373/.725, 98 for 354, 48 runs, 17 2b, 4 3b, 3 HR, 39 RBI, 37/70 BB/K, 15/26 SBs)

7. A- SS Robbie Shields R/R 12/7/87 (A- Brooklyn .178/.273/.267/.540, 26 for 146, 14 runs, 4 2b, 3 3b, HR, 9 RBI, 16/32 BB/K, 2 SBs)

Shields was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2009 draft, and after signing he was sent to Brooklyn where he had a dreadful season, hitting to a .540 OPS in 146 ABs. Shields also suffered a tear in his UCL, resulting in Tommy John surgery and expectations that he will miss the bulk of the 2010 season.

Shields has a short compact swing which generates some good pop, though he displayed none of that in his short stint in Brooklyn. He, like Reese Havens, profiles better as a 2b. Many (including me) called Shields the righty Havens when he was picked, the scouting reports are similiar.

THE FUTURE: Shields, when he does come back off the injury/rehab/surgery, will likely play in Brooklyn again, and then jump to the FSL in 2011, putting his ETA around late 2013 or 2014.

8.

Surprise 8/5/1, Peoria Javelinas 6/12/0

Jenrry Mejia pitched very well for 3 innings, and then had a meltdown 4th, in which he allowed 3 hits and 3 runs (Josh Stinson failed to strand a pair of Mejia's runners). So while his overall line is awful, it is the result of one bad inning.

Ruben Tejada cracked out of his slump with a 4th inning homer, his first in Arizona. Ike Davis took an 0-fer. No Rafter had a multi hit game.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis saw AA pitching tonight, and was not impressed. Nieuwenhuis had 3 more hits, including a triple, in his Binghamton debut, leading a 15 hit, 3 walk attack, but it was in vain, as Michael Antonini got shelled into oblivion, allowing 8 runs in 5.2 innings on 10 hits and 4 walks. The Mets were 5 for 14 (.357) with RISP and left 10 on base. Zach Lutz took the only 0-fer, also in his AA debut.

The Conies offense had 10 hits and 6 walks, while going 3 for 10 with RISP and leaving 11 on base.

Zach Von Tersch benefitted from the offensive explosion, he went 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits (2 homers) and 4 walks for his 3rd win, while lowering his ERA under 4.

Ruben Tejada: Phillie killer. Tejada had a perfect game tonight, going 4 for 4 and raising his season's average to it's high water mark (.294). Tejada scored 2 runs and plated a third, his 33rd RBI, and remember, he's primarily hit out of the 8/9 holes this season. Jose Coronado (2) and Emmanuel Garcia (3) also had multi hit games, while Josh Thole (0 for 5, K, .333), Lucas Duda (0 for 3, RBI (53), BB, .281), and Caleb Stewart (0 for 3, BB, .195) took 0-fers. The Mets were 3 for 12 with RISP and left 10 on base. Jacob Ruckle picked up the win with 3.1 innings of relief after Michael Antonini's outing was cut short due to a rain delay. Roy Merritt picked up his 12th save, a 4 outer.

Jeff Kaplan took a tough luck loss tonight, giving up just a run on 2 hits in 6 innings, but the Mets managed only 5 hits of their own, while going 0 for 6 with RISP. Edgar Ramirez gave up 2 more runs in 0.2 innings tonight, his ERA has increased almost 5 fold in his last two outings. Stefan Welch (2), had the only multi hit game for the Mets, while Reese Havens (0 for 4, K, .236), Zach Lutz (0 for 4, K, .295), Richard Pena (0 for 3, .227), Seth Williams (0 for 3, .281), and Luis Rivera (INF, 0 for 3, .129) all took 0-fers.

Side note - the boxscore says RICHARD Pena caught the game today. As he's an outfielder, I'm going to assume it's Francisco Pena, but I'm not totally sure.

Mark Cohoon (ahem, my favorite Brooklyn pitcher, lol) went 7 solid innings tonight, giving up 3 runs on 6 hits for his 7th win of the season.

The Conies hammered out 13 hits and drew 8 walks, but were just 4 for 15 (.267) with RISP, and left 12 on base. Sam Honeck had a perfect game with 4 hits and a walk, he, Nick Santomauro (2) and Matt Gaski (perfect game 2 hits, 2 walks) had multi hit games, while Robbie Shields (0 for 5, RBI, .145), moved into the leadoff spot, took the only 0-fer.

APPY R: Kingsport 2/7/4, Johnson City 6/13/2

Jhonathan Torres got blitzed for 5 runs (4 earned) on 8 hits in 4.2 innings for his 4th Appy loss. Torres hasn't yet had what I'd call a good start in the Appy League (either due to ineffectiveness or shortness of outing). Guillaume LeDuc had a good outing in long relief, allowing 4 hits and an UER in 3.1 innings, but the Mets managed very little on offense, just 7 hits and 2 walks, while going 1 for 9 (.111) with RISP, leaving 8 on base. Jeff Flagg (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .316), Cesar Puello (0 for 4, 3 Ks, .260), John Semel (0 for 4, K, .223) and Juan Torres (0 for 4, 3 Ks, .357) all took 0-fers, while RJ Harris (3) had the only multi hit game.

EL AA: Binghamton 6/10/1, Reading 2/6/1

Ruben Tejada is not impressed by Kyle Drabek. The first pitch Tejada saw from the Philly prospect was deposited in the seats for a homer by the Met shortstop, opening the door on a 10 hit, 7 walk night for the BMets, as they beat the Phils 6-2. Tejada (3), Jose Coronado (3), and Lucas Duda (2) all had multi hit games, hitting 1-2-3 in the order, combining to go 8 for 13 with 2 walks, and 4 RBI. Salvador Paniagua (0 for 3, BB, 2 Ks, .194), Jon Malo (0 for 4, .251), and Emmanuel Garcia (0 for 4, K, .246) took 0-fers for the Mets, who went a poor 3 for 18 with RISP, and left 11 men on base.

Jose De La Torre picked up the win with 2 innings of relief in back of Chris Mason, who allowed 2 runs (1 earned) over 4.2 innings in his BMets debut.

The Mets had just 5 hits, but drew 4 walks while going 2 for 7 (.286) with RISP, leaving 6 on base. Carlos Guzman (0 for 2, run, BB, K, .267), Seth Williams (0 for 4, K, .287) and Brahiam Maldonado (0 for 4, .252) took 0-fers, no Met had a multi hit game.

NYPL A-: Brooklyn 1/6/2, Jamestown 2//11/0 in 13 innings

Brandon Sage, pushed into his longest outing of the season, and already pitching awfully (4 hits, 4 walks, 1 run in 3 innings), gave up an UER in his 4th inning of work, though he wasn't completely absolved, he allowed 3 hits in the inning, to take his 1st NYPL loss. Sage faced 22 batters, the equivalent of pitching 7.1 perfect innings, his previous high in innings had also been 4, on July 9th, when he allowed a hit and struck out 1. Obviously this outing was vastly different. Collin McHugh started and was excellent tonight, giving up just 3 hits in 7 innings, and striking out a dozen along the way, but he got an ND.

The Conies offense had just 6 hits and 4 walks in 13 innings, while going just 1 for 5 with RISP, leaving 7 on base. Tyler Vaughn (2 for 4, run, BB, .293), Dock Doyle (2 for 4, 2b, .257), and Ralph Henriquez (2 for 5, RBI, .210) had the hits for the Conies, everyone else took 0-fers.

Yohan Almonte have up 5 runs on 9 hits in 5 innings, but the Mets got him off the hook with 2 in the 5th and 3 in the 7th, tying the game at 5 thru 7 innings. However, Brian Needham took the loss after giving up a run in the 10th, his second inning of relief.

The Mets offense had 13 hits and drew a pair of walks, and went a stellar 5 for 13 (.385) with RISP, leaving 9 on base, and also stole 6 bases without being caught once, all in a losing cause.

Billy Wagner continued his rehab tonight with a scoreless 5th inning, he allowed a hit and struck out a pair.

Angel Calero had another subpar outing, forcing the bullpen into early action, and that doomed the Mets tonight. Calero lasted just 4 innings, giving up 3 runs on 4 hits and 2 walks. Edgar Ramirez, pushed to pitch 3+ innings, got oblierated in the 9th for 3 runs (5 total for the game), taking the loss. Ramirez had given up just 2 runs in 38 St. Lucie innings prior to tonight.

The Gnats offense generated 7 hits and 2 walks, but were just 1 for 7 (.143) with RISP, and left 5 on base. Josh Satin had a perfect 4 for 4 game, he and Jean Luc Blaquiere (2) had multi hit games, and also homered.

Jimenez, after lighting up the Appy League two years ago (.309/.379/.521/.900) as a 20 year old, has taken significant steps backwards in the last two seasons.

Kyle Allen had a no hitter through 4, but couldn't escape the 5th, giving up 2 runs on 3 hits in the inning, ending up with a ND. He did leave with a low pitch count, and probably could've finished the inning, but he is deep in uncharted water, innings wise. Allen was reportedly sitting 92-93 tonight on his fastball.

Another night for Kingsport...oh wait...I got it right this time. Another night for Kingsport...another high scoring game.

Offensively, the Mets had 9 hits and drew 8 walks, but went a pitiful 3 for 18 (.167) with RISP, leaving 10 on base, despite scoring 10.

Hey! LOOK! KMet pitching didn't give up that many runs today. But the offense still put up 10. Nice, huh?

An Alonzo Harris error led to 3 UER off Chris Hilliard in the 4th, other then that, Hilliard was money tonight, giving up 4 runs (1 earned) on 6 hits over 6 innings for his first win. Zach Von Tersch pitched 3 scoreless for the save.

The offense generated 14 hits and 3 walks, while going just 4 for 17 (.235) with RISP, leaving 7 on base. Every regular either had a multi hit game (6) or took an 0-fer (3); Ryan Mollica (0 for 4, run, RBI, BB, .296), John Freeman (0 for 3, run, BB, .174), Darrell Ceciliani (0 for 2, run, BB, .179).

Binghamton 6, Akron 4

It was another bullpen by committee day for the BMets, with 4 relievers pitching the game, the win went to Michael Antonini (3 innings, 1 hit), the save to 30 year old Jim Warden (why exactly is he in Binghamton...or for that matter, in the organization?)

The offense for the Mets had 9 hits, but more importantly, 12 walks, en route to 6 runs. However, they were an atrocious 2 for 13 (.154) with RISP, and left 14 men on base. Ruben Tejada and Jon Malo had multi hit games, while Jose Coronado (0 for 3, 2 BBs, .252), and Salvador Paniagua (0 for 3, 2 Ks, .213) took 0-fers.

Jeff Kaplan was victimized by his defense a ton today, as 3 errors (2 on Pellot, 1 on Eigsti) led to 4 UER off him, denying him a complete game. Manuel Alvarez picked up his 7th save, despite allowing one of Kaplan's IHR to score.

The Mets offense had 9 hits and 3 walks, and were a good 3 for 8 (.375) with RISP, despite leaving 6 on base, and having 2 runners thrown out stealing. Carlos Guzman and Brahiam Maldonado had much needed breakout multi hit games, while Greg Veloz (0 for 4, K, .247), Hector Pellot (0 for 1, BB, .272), and Jake Eigsti (0 for 3, K, .220) took 0-fers.

Elvin Ramirez had yet another poor outing today, giving up 3 runs on 8 hits in 3.1 innings to take the loss, his 7th of the season. His June ERA stands at 5.64, and he's 0-4 in the month. Over his last 6 starts, dating back to May 30th, he's given up 18 earned runs in 27.1 innings, a 5.93 era. Phillips Orta and Manuel Olivares followed with equally poor outings, putting the game well out of reach.

The Gnats offense had 10 hits on the game, but were a pathetic 0 for 8 with RISP and left 9 on base. Rafael Fernandez, Wilmer Flores, Jefry Marte and Stefan Welch (aka the important offensive people on the team) all had multi hit games, while Imbewer Alvarez (0 for 2, .125), Raul Reyes (0 for 5, K, .250), Sean Ratliff (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .286), took 0-fers.

John Servidio, Matt Bouchard and Luis Rivera had multi hit games, while Nick Santomauro (an actual prospect; 0 for 2, 2 runs, 2 BBs, .222) and Matt Gaski (0 for 2, run, 2 BBs, .111) took 0-fers.

The KMets pitching and defense has been absolutely putrid to start the season, they surrendered 10 more runs tonight, and have now given up a staggering 59 runs in their first 6 games, 12 of then unearned. It was Guillaume LeDuc tonight, giving up 7 runs (6 earned) in 4.1 innings to take his first loss. Julio Bello allowed 3 runs in 3.2 innings for good measure.

The Mets offense had 11 hits and 2 walks, but were just 3 for 15 with RISP and left 12 on base.

6/11 Minor League Report! TEJADA, FAMILIA!

I apologize for the lateness of this report, we blew a fuse upstairs last night during the Mets game (followed by me blowing a fuse after Takahashi gave it up to Ibanez), and it just got fixed early this morning. So here you go.

Also - starting this Sunday (the 14th), I will be taking my annual "Work on the MPH Draft Database" break (bi-annual this year), and David will be posting the nightly report EXCLUSIVELY at MetsProspectHub (http://metsprospecthub.blogspot.com). That will last until the 24th, and there will be a second such break sometime in early to mid July. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience. Keep in mind David is out on the left coast, so the report will be up rather late (4am or later eastern time).

Brant Rustich left this game after 3+ innings with a hand/wrist injury, the severity of which is unknown at this time. Jose De La Torre allowed Rustich's IHR to score (leadoff triple in the 4th), then fired 3 hitless innings of relief to pick up the win.

The Mets hammered the Yankees (hopefully we can say that 3 times this weekend!) for 14 hits and 9 runs, and also drew 6 walks, while going a stellar 8 for 21 with RISP (.381), and leaving 12 on base. Zach Lutz, Francisco Pena, Seth Williams and Matt Bouchard had multi hit games, every regular had a hit.

Jeurys Familia, who was coming off 3 straight rough outings (16.1 ip, 26 h, 15 er, 4/9 bb/k, 0-2, 8.27 era), was outstanding today, allowing just 3 hits and an unearned run (Josh Satin error), while striking out 6 in 6 innings, but he was forced from the game by a rain delay in the 7th, and Michael Powers leeched the win, blowing the save.

From Mike at ScoutingtheSally.com (great great website; he posted this on NYFS): Familia was a top 100 prospect tonight. 91-93 consistently; Hitting 94 a number of times. Threw an 80 MPH slurve as an out pitch with good bite. It was the best I've seen him throw this year and this is my 4th time seeing him throw. He raises the level of his game when up against tough opponents. First time he dominated against Casey Kelly (2008 1st rounder), tonight he out shined the Braves Bret DeVall (2008 S1)

The Gnats offense had 10 hits and 2 walks, en route to 3 runs, while going 2 for 7 (.286) with RISP and leaving 7 on base. Rafael Fernandez, Sean Ratliff and Wilmer Flores had multi hit games, while Josh Satin (0 for 1, run, RBI, 2 BBs, K, .312) and Jean Luc Blaquiere (0 for 3, .196) took 0-fers.

Binghamton 5, New Britain

Another Dylan Owen start, another multi run performance. Another Binghamton game, another 2 hits for Josh Thole. And so it goes for the Mets, who saw Owen plummet to 0-5 with a 6.97 era after today's rough 5 inning 6 run performance, but on the flip side, saw Thole collect 2 more hits, raising his average to .369. Almost as, if not more, impressive was Ruben Tejada, who had 2 hits himself, and is now batting .281 in Binghamton. Emmanuel Garcia, Lucas Duda and DJ Wabick also had multi hit games for the Mets, but it was to no avail. Nick Evans, Shawn Bowman (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .271), and Jose Coronado (0 for 4, .240) took 0-fers for the Mets, who collected 11 hits and 3 walks, and were an impressive 5 for 12 with RISP, and left 8 on base.
