11/14 Winter League Report! HAVENS, STONER!

Apologies for the lateness, I've been doing stuff all day today.

Question: Do you guys like my little blurbs on other prospects on the Rafters? I mean the Yankee, Cardinal and Royal prospects...

Surprise 2/8/2, Scottsdale 4/7/0

Reese Havens had a breakout game in Arizona today, with a homer and 3 walks, but it was in a losing effort as the Rafters fell 4-2. Mike Moustakas (Royals) and Daryl Jones (Cardinals) had multi hit games. No Mets pitched in the game, while Ike Davis took the only Mets 0-fer.

Ike Davis and Brandon Laird (Yankees) went back to back (don't worry, not saying it) in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game, but Mike Dunn (Yankees) gave up a run in the top of the 10th, sending the Rafters to a loss.

Eric Niesen did not fair well in the game, giving up 2 runs in 0.2 innings on 2 hits (including a homer). Ruben Tejada was 1 for 4, as was Ike Davis.

EL AA: Binghamton 7/15/1, Akron 10/11/1

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 KMets pitching staff is atrocious, fortunately, it appears every other staff in the Appy League is equally brutal.

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.

Savannah 0, Charleston 1

Jeurys Familia pitched an excellent game today, but he came out on the short end of a pitchers duel, so got his 5th loss, despite a sub 3 era. He allowed just 2 hits and a run over 6.1 innings, and over his last 4 outings, he's allowed 5 runs over 24.2 innings, on 17 hits and 6 walks, while striking out 21, for a 1.82 era, with a 2-1 record. I would expect both Familia and Carson to be promoted to St. Lucie within the next couple of weeks.

The Gnats offense had 7 hits and a walk, but were just 1 for 6 with RISP and left 6 on base. Wilmer and Sean Ratliff (0 for 3, .283) took 0-fers.

The Mets managed just 4 hits tonight, along with 3 walks, in losing 5-2. The good news? They didn't give up 10+ runs. Armando Alberto de Jesus Rodriguez gave up 2 runs on 2 hits and 3 walks in 5 innings, but it was Jonathan White who took the loss after allowing 3 runs (2 earned) on 8 hits in 3 innings. Five players took 0-fers for the Mets, who were 0 for 8 with RISP and left 5 on base.

Tobi Stoner fired a 7 inning complete game 3 hit shutout, and Salvador Paniagua accounted for all 4 BMet runs (solo HR, bases clearing double), as the Mets won the opener of a day/night doubleheader, 4-0. The Mets went just 2 for 8 with RISP and left 6 on base, but Paniagua's heroics made up for that. Jose Coronado (0 for 3, BB, .253) and Josh Petersen (0 for 3, K, .279) took 0-fers, while Paniagua and DJ Wabick had multi hit games.

After the game, Stoner was promoted to AAA Buffalo.

Eric Niesen's AA debut was a very rough one, the lefty allowed 5 runs on 3 hits (2 homers) and 4 walks in 5 innings to take the loss. Jim Warren (30 year old journeyman) debuted with a scoreless 6th.

The Mets, with a decidedly D lineup out there, managed just 6 hits and 3 walks on the game, and went 1 for 7 with RISP, leaving 8 on base. Carl Loadenthal returned and had the only multi hit game, while Salvador Paniagua (0 for 3, 3 Ks, .204), Josh Petersen (0 for 3, 2 Ks, .271), Ruben Tejada (0 for 3, .277) and Jake Eigsti (0 for 3, .192) all took 0-fers.

Nick Carr had another very poor start, surrendering 5 runs on 6 hits and 3 walks in 4.1 innings for his 3rd loss. Carr's splits as a SP and RP are extremely stark, in 33.1 innings as a reliever, he's posted a 2.16 era, and in 9.1 innings as a starter, his ERA is a skyhigh 8.68.

The Mets had 9 hits and 4 walks, but were just 1 for 12 with RISP, and left 11 on base. Greg Veloz and Carlos Guzman had multi hit games, while Kirk Nieuwenhuis (0 for 5, K, .250) and Zach Lutz (0 for 3, 2 BBs, K, .250) took 0-fers.

The Gnats had 8 hits and 5 walks, but were just 1 for 8 with RISP and left 10 on base. Rafael Fernandez had the only multi hit game for the Gnats, while Josh Satin (0 for 4, BB, 3 Ks, .303) and Raul Reyes (0 for 3, BB, K, .263) took the only two 0-fers.

Jon Niese got absolutely blitzed tonight, giving up 12 hits and 9 runs (7 earned) in 3.2 innings, in what was his worst professional outing.

The offense did manage a whole 4 runs on 8 hits and 7 walks, but Niese gave them no chance at anything. Cory Sullivan, Fernando Martinez and Rene Rivera had multi hit games, while Willy Mo Pena (0 for 5, .213), Javier Valentin (0 for 2, 2 BBs, .292) and Mike Lamb (0 for 4, .167) took 0-fers, they were the 345 hitters for Buffalo.

Binghamton 1, New Britain 3

Tobi Stoner had a very good outing for Binghamton tonight, giving up just 2 runs on 4 hits in 6.2 innings, but a stacked Mets lineup could only generate one run themselves, losing 3-1.

That stacked Mets offense, which featured Nick Evans at first base, was held to just 7 hits and a walk, and were a paltry 0 for 3 with RISP, and left 5 on base. The aforementioned Evans accounted for the only Mets run with a 4th inning homer. Emmanuel Garcia had the only multi hit game, while Lucas Duda (playing left field; 0 for 4, 2 Ks, .281), Jose Coronado (0 for 3, K, .271) and Ruben Tejada (0 for 2, K, .232) took 0-fers.

Jesus Feliciano, Fernando Martinez and Michel Abreu (hitting 2-3-4), went a combined 6 for 11 with 3 2b, a HR and 3 RBI, pacing a 10 hit 3 walk attack. The Bisons were 4 for 11 with RISP and left 7 on base. Argenis Reyes (0 for 5, K, .303), and Rafael Arroyo (0 for 3, run, BB, 2 Ks, .000) took 0-fers. Tim Redding pitched well, but got a ND.

Tobi Stoner's season debut was outstanding, he fired a 2 hit shutout over 7 innings for the win. Julio De La Cruz and Roy Merritt each allowed a run in their appearances, but Merritt got the save, his 10th. We told you about this yesterday, Merritt after a hot start is cratering back to Earth, having allowed 8 runs in his last 7 innings. The BMets improved to 14-15 with the win, and in a crowded Northern Division, are 2 games out, but in 5th place.

The Mets had 8 hits and 3 walks, but were just 1 for 9 with RISP and left 7 runners on base. Lucas Duda (0 for 3, BB, .311), DJ Wabick (0 for 3, BB, K, .267), and Ruben Tejada (0 for 4, K, .258) took 0-fers, while Carl Loadenthal had the only multi hit game for the Mets.

The Mets had just 4 hits and 3 walks, and were just 1 for 8 with RISP, leaving 5 runners on base, but nonetheless found enough offense to win tonight.

Savannah 2, Bowling Green

Robert Carson was the victim of Jefry Marte's 14th error of the season, it was a run producing error, and prolonged the 3rd inning long enough for Carson to give up a 3 run homer, the only 4 runs Carson would give up on the night, enough to tag him with his 3rd loss, despite a 2.20 era. Over Carson's last 23 innings (taking out the nightmarish 1st inning of his 4/24 start), he's yielded 10 runs, but only 1 earned run on 16 hits and 6 walks, with 15 Ks. Interesting to note, Jefry Marte's committed errors in each of Carson's last 4 outings (Carson has strong ground ball tendencies, 1.70 this year, 3.77 last year). Conclusion: Robert Carson needs a hug.

The loss drops the Gnats to 16-14, 1 game out of first place.

The Gnats offense had just 5 hits and 2 walks, and were a putrid 1 for 9 with RISP, leaving 6 on base. Eric Campbell (1 for 4, RBI, K, .265), Sean Ratliff (promote him to St. Lucie already! 2 for 4, run, HR (4), RBI (18), .355), Rafael Fernandez (1 for 4, 2b, 2 Ks, .252), and Kai Gronauer (1 for 4, 2b, K, .246) had the hits for the Gnats, everyone else took 0-fers.

Holdzkom was drafted in the 4th round, 124th overall, in the 2006 draft. He spent a miserable rookie season in the GCL, compiling a 2-5, 7.71 era in 23.1 innings (16/2 G/GS). His season was marred by massive control issues, he walked 20 in those 23.1 innings. Holdzkom didn't pitch much in 2007 for a variety of reasons, including a suspension for trashing his hotel room.

2008 was really a tale of two seasons for the 6'7/225 righty. The first one was a relief season spent in misery at Savannah, where he compiled a pitiful 8.31 era in 15 outings spanning 21.2 innings. The other was brought about by a demotion to Kingsport, and a conversion to the starting rotation. After an excellent adaptation in Kingsport, Holdzkom brought that to Savannah, where he put up a very good 3.86 era in 5 starts, ending the season with his best professional outing, a 7 inning 2 hitter. Holdzkom remains on pace age/level wise, he will spend all of the upcoming season at age 21, likely opening in Savannah.

Oh yeah - he's Insane in the Membrane.

13. Nathan Vineyard 10/3/88 (20.33) L/L (A Savannah 0-2, 14.63 era, 2 GS, 8 IP, 13 H, 13 ER, HR, 6/3 BB/K, 1.22 GO/FO, .382 BAA, 2.38 WHIP)

The Mets selected Vineyard in the first round, with their 47th pick in the 2007 draft out of Woodland High School in Georgia, where as a senior, he put up these numbers as a senior: 9-3, 1.19 era, 12 GS, 6 CG, 70.2 IP, 39 H, 12 BBs, 130 Ks; .429/.547/.714, 13 2b, 3b, 3 HR, 22 RBI, 22/7 BB/K. He was sent to the rookie level GCL, where he struggled, but did register more then a K per inning. Given the Mets aggressive policy with prospects, it wouldn't be shocking to see Vineyard in the Sally League at some point in 2008 (either starting there, or ending up there).

Vineyard opened the 08 season in Savannah, but lasted just 2 starts before he suffered a left shoulder strain in mid April and had season ending shoulder surgery on May 9th.

Vineyard's fastball is in the low 90s, but he can touch 93 when he needss to. He can locate the pitch down in the strike zone and both sides of the plate with tailing movement. Only 19 years old, he still does have potential to add a few MPH on his fastball, which would turn it into a trus plus pitch. Vineyard's best pitch is his devastating three-quarters slider which he throws in the mid 80s. It has massive break that tails hard down and away to left-handers, dives under the bats of right-handers, and serves as his finishing pitch. He also throws a developing curveball which is in the 76-79 range, and a circle change, in the same range. His change is his third best pitch. Right now, Vineyard keeps the ball down with his full compliment of pitches, pounding the strike zone with his fastball and changeup before finishing hitters off with his slider. He only walked 1 batter every 3 innings, and with further refinement of his pitches, that rate should only improve. As he gets older and his pitches become even finer, he may become more of a strikeout pitcher thanks to his growing velocity combined with his tremendous slider and improving changeup.

Update 3/28/09: Vineyard apparently has not shown up to spring training in Port St. Lucie, so right now his status within the organization is very much up in the air.

14. Tobi Stoner 12/3/84 (24.16) S/R (A+ St. Lucie 1-5, 2.60 era, 9 GS, 52 IP, 46 H, 17/15 R/ER, 3 HR, 9/48 BB/K, 1.10 GO/FO, .238 BAA, 1.06 WHIP, AA Binghamton 4-6, 4.33 era, 15 GS, 79 IP, 80 H, 39/38 R/ER, 7 HR, 29/59 BB/K, 0.82 GO/FO, .267 BAA, 1.38 WHIP, AFL Peoria Saguaros 2-0, 3.66 era, 11 G, 19.2 IP, 17 H, 8 ER, 7/15 BB/K, 1.22 WHIP, .227 BAA, 1.00 GO/FO, PRWL Mayaguez 2-1, 1.16 era, 6/5 G/GS, 31 IP, 25 H, 5/4 R/ER, 7/20 BB/K)

Total 2008 Stats: 9-12, 3.22 era, 41/29 G/GS, 181.2 IP, 168 H, 52/142 BB/K, 1.21 WHIP

Stoner was drafted in the 16th round out of Davis and Elkins College, in 2006, where as a senior, he went 8-6 with a 2.90 era in 18 games, 12 of which were starts. In 90 innings, he allowed 85 hits while walking 16 and striking out 79.

He should start the 2007 season as a 23 year old with Savannah, although an outside shot of him opening in St. Lucie exists.

Stoner did open in Savannah, but he ended in St. Lucie, with mixed results. He performed very well on a very young and inexperienced Savannah team, but struggled upon his promotion to the higher league. We would expect Stoner to open 2008 back in St. Lucie, with a mid-season promotion to Binghamton likely.

Which is exactly what happened.

Taking out Stoner's worst AA start, his numbers improve to 4-5, 3.71 era, 77.2 IP, 71 H, 29/58 BB/K. If you remove his 4 start introduction to AA, and his worst AA outing, you're left with 4-3, 2.62 era, 10 GS, 58.1 IP, 43 H, 17 ER, 3 HR, 23/41 BB/K. Obviously that's purely unscientific, and pretty selective, removing 1/3 of his AA starts, but I think it's pretty important in this case, much as it is in Jon Niese's, to show Stoner did not struggle in AA, despite the mid 4 era.

Stoner throws 5 pitches. A 2 and 4 seam fastball, a slider, curve and changeup. His 2 seamer is in the 88-91 range, while he can get his 4 seamer up into the mid 90s. He made great strides this past season with his fastball(s) command, especially pitching to contact with his 2 seamer. Stoner's best pitches are his breaking balls. He throws a curveball in the 77-80 range with very good command, and compliments it with a sharp down breaking 84-87 MPH slider. He rounds out his arsenal with a good changeup, but he needs to use it more.

Stoner is an aggresive pitcher who comes after you with a vast array of pitches. He likes to mix up his pitch sequences, sometimes working opposite to the count. Stoner looks to be either a good arm for the underside of a bullpen (6th/7th innings), or a reliable 4/5 in a rotation. Stoner should begin the season in Binghamton, and much like the past 2 seasons, earn a midseason promotion to Buffalo, which would put him in line for a mid 2010 debut.

15. Nick Carr 4/19/87 (21.79) R/R (A+ St. Lucie 2-10, 5.70 era, 22 G, 21 GS, 94.2 IP, 103 H, 64/60 R/ER, 10 HR, 50/80 BB/K, 1.12 GO/FO, .282 BAA, 1.62 WHIP, A Savannah 1-2, 3.33 era, 4 GS, 24.1 IP, 22 H, 11/9 R/ER, 4/16 BB/K, 1.16 GO/FO, .239 BAA, 1.07 WHIP)

Total 2008 Stats: 3-12, 5.22 era, 26 G, 25 GS, 119 IP, 125 H, 75/69 R/ER, 10 HR, 54/96 BB/K, 1.13 GO/FO, .274 BAA, 1.50 WHIP

The Mets drafted Carr in the 41st round of the 2005 draft, out of Twin Falls High School, in Idaho. Instead of signing with the organization out of high school, Carr took his mid-90s fastball and deadly slider to the junior college ranks, more specifically - Southern Idaho College, where he was a teammate of Todd Privett. Carr went 5-4 with a 2.96 era in 13 games, 11 starts, spanning 54.2 innings. He allowed 38 hits, while walking 38 and striking out 66. Carr signed with the Mets as a draft and follow on May 17th, 2006 - just 2 days before the one year anniversary of the release of Revenge of the Sith.

Carr was sent to the rookie level Appalachian League, where he posted decent numbers, as a 19 year old. Carr should be in the mix for a starting job in the South Atlantic League with Savannah.

Carr instead spent the season in Brooklyn of the New York Penn League, where he put up very good numbers, going 5-2, 3.80 in 66.1 innings. He played in Hawaii during the fall, getting into 5 more games, totalling 12.1 innings, and posting a 3.65 era. Carr should either continue his one level ascent through the system, or if the Mets feel like pushing him, he could open the year in St. Lucie.

The Mets felt like pushing him - and it came back to bite them directly on the ass. Carr spent the bulk of the season living through hell in St. Lucie, not earning his first victory until August 16th. For the majority of his time in St. Lucie, he sported an ERA north of 6. Despite the absolutely ugly numbers Carr put up in St. Lucie, there was a silver lining. In his last 4 outings, he went: 2-0, 0.86 era, 4 G, 21 IP, 11 H, 2 ER, 10/18 BB/K, 1.00 WHIP. Still, as there was a year to play with, he can repeat St. Lucie comfortably and still not exceed the ideal age/level for high A.

Carr features 5 pitches, a 2 and 4 seam fastball, slider, curve and change. Both his fastballs sit in the low to mid 90s, and he can occasionally dial his 4 seamer up to 96-97 if he needs to. Both pitches have strike out-ability, but they work best when he uses them to setup his slider and other offspeed pitches. His slider is his best offspeed pitch, sitting in the mid 80s with very good hard late break down. He vastly improved his ability to throw his curveball for strikes, this pitch sits in the lower 80s. Finally, he has an upper 70s changeup which he's backed off on from previous seasons, lowering it's velocity.

Carr is an intense pitcher who feeds off emotion, which as we've seen from OPP, can be a good thing or a bad thing. Carr has a lot of moving parts in his delievery, which can cause him to get out of whack at times. Carr projects as a middle of the rotation starter with upside, or if he doesn't put everything together, a late inning power reliever. He should begin 2009 back in St. Lucie (having a year to play with developmentally...), and end the season in Binghamton, giving him an ETA of late 2010 as a reliever or mid 2011 as a starter.

16. Cole Abbott 7/17/88 (20.5) R/R - DNP in 2008

The Mets stole Abbott in the 25th round, with their 783rd pick in the 2007 draft. Expected to go much higher, Abbott fell precipitously, and the Mets snapped him up, and sent him to the GCL, where he did not pitch much, and struggled with command when he did toe the rubber. Abbott should find himself in Kingsport to start 2008, with an outside shot of ending his season in Savannah.

For some still unexplained reason, Abbott did not throw one pitch during the 2008 season.

17. Elvin Ramirez 10/10/87 (21.33) R/R (A Savannah 6-7, 3.67 era, 18 GS, 81 IP, 81 H, 38/33 R/ER, HR, 36/62 BB/K, 1.77 GO/FO, .257 BAA, 1.44 WHIP)

Ramirez was signed during the 2005 International Free Agent signing period, and made his pro debut in 2006 with the DSL Mets, posting a 0-1, 2.63 line in 11 games, 6 starts, spanning 27.1 innings. He was jumped to Kingsport for the 2007 season, where he struggled, posting a 1-4, 5.52 line in 12 starts over 45.2 innings.

Ramirez was in the midst of a breakout 2008 season when he suffered a back injury on July 9th, which caused him to miss the rest of the season.

Ramirez features one of the best sinkers in the organization, a devastating mid 90s sinker with sharp down break and great side to side movement. Much like Bobby Parnell, he's cleaned up his mechanics and can maintain velocity deep into games now. He can dial a 4 seamer up into the 95-97 range, but very rarely uses this pitch. Ramirez also owns a very good slider, which he throws in the mid 80s, again with a sharp down break. he tops off his arsenal with a still developing changeup which he is inconsistent with.

As evidenced by his 1.77 GO/FO ratio this past season, Ramirez goes right after hitters, relying on his defense to make plays for him. He Ks a good amount (62 in 81 innings, 6.89 per 9), but walks a few too many (36 in 81 innings, 4 per 9). Right now, Ramirez is viewed as a starter, but again, as with Bobby Parnell, development of his changeup will dictate where he ultimately ends up. He's got the top two pitches to be a good #3 in a rotation, or a very valuable setup man in the back of a bullpen. Ramirez should open 2009 in St. Lucie, and move up a level per year, making his debut date sometime in the 2011 season, or on opening day 2012.

18. Scott Shaw 8/3/86 (22.5) R/R (University of Illinois 4-4, 7.83 era, 12 G, 11 GS, 2 CG, 56.1 IP, 79 H, 59/49 R/ER, 8 HR, 24/48 BB/K, .328 BAA, A- Brooklyn 6-3, 2.80 era, 15 G, 14 GS, 74 IP, 66 H, 24/23 R/ER, 4 HR, 15/79 BB/K, 1.01 GO/FO, .238 BAA, 1.09 WHIP, HWL Honolulu 2-2, 2.51 era, 8 G, 7 GS, 32.1 IP, 12 H, 13/9 R/ER, HR, 9/35 BB/K, .65 WHIP, .110 BAA, 0.91 GO/FO)

Total 2008 Stats: 12-9, 4.48 era, 35 G, 32 GS, 162.2 IP, 157 H, 96/81 R/ER, 48/162 BB/K, 0.98 GO/FO (Brooklyn + Hawaii), .244 BAA, 1.26 WHIP

Total 2008 Professional Stats: 8-5, 2.71 era, 23 G, 21 GS, 106.1 IP, 78 H, 37/32 R/ER, 24/114 BB/K, 0.98 GO/FO, .199 BAA, .96 WHIP

Shaw was drafted by the Mets in the 13th round, 404th overall, and after signing was sent to Brooklyn, and then Hawaii, where he posted a composite 2.71 era in 106.1 innings over 23 games. Shaw, who had a miserable junior season at the University of Illonis, is a high upside college pick in the mold of Bobby Parnell. Here is a predraft 2008 scouting report:

He has topped out at 94 MPH on the radar gun. Shaw said his typical fastball ranges between 88 and 92 MPH.

"He is a very projectible pitcher," Illinois coach Dan Hartleb said. "He's athletic and has a very good body. He's very capable of being successful."

In high school, Shaw relied on his fastball, curve and slider. He developed his fourth pitch, a changeup, over the last year.

"I consider that now one of my best pitches," he said.

19. Angel Calero 9/25/86 (22.33) L/L (A Savannah 3-5, 2.57 era, 12 GS, 66.2 IP, 54 H, 30/19 R/ER, 3 HR, 15/59 BB/K, 0.86 GO/FO, .220 BAA, 1.04 WHIP, A+ St. Lucie 1-1, 7.07 era, 4 GS, 14 IP, 18 H, 11 ER, 3 HR, 7/10 BB/K, 0.52 GO/FO, .300 BAA, 1.79 WHIP)

Calero was signed during the 2005 International Free Agent signing period, and made his debut later that same year in the VSL, where he posted a 2-4, 4.03 era in 44.2 innings, with 24 walks allowed (4.84 BB/9). The following year saw in stateside, in the GCL, where his control problems were magnified, as he walked 23 in 27.2 innings (7.48 BB/9), while going 2-2 with a 6.83 era. He was sent to Kingsport for the 2007 season, and pitched markedly better, going 5-1 with a 2.79 era over 51.2 innings, with just 17 walks allowed (2.96 BB/9).

We don't know what happened to Calero beyond the facts that 1) he hasn't pitched anywhere since June 27th, and 2) he's on the DL. #1 leads me to believe it's a bad injury, but again, we have not heard anything officially.

Calero should open 2009 back in St. Lucie, assuming his health is OK.

Update 3/28/09: Calero was shut down with a shoulder injury, that puts his 2009 in jeopardy, for sure.

20. Jim Fuller 6/1/87 (21.66) L/L (Southern Connecticut State 9-3, 1.39 era, 14 GS, 2 CG, 97 IP, 60 H, 24/15 R/ER, 4 HR, 23/145 BB/K, .175 BAA, A- Brooklyn 2-0, 1 era, 8 G, GS, SV, 18 IP, 15 H, 2 ER, 5/22 BB/K, 2.22 GO/FO, .238 BAA, 1.11 WHIP)

Total 2008 Stats: 11-3, 1.33 era, 22 G, 15 GS, 115 IP, 75 H, 28/167 BB/K, .90 WHIP

Fuller was drafted in the 21st round, 644th overall, out of the sister college of my alum, Southern Connecticut State. After he was signed, he was sent to Brooklyn where he posted a 1.00 era in 18 innings, his season was bisected by a shoulder strain.

21. Eric Beaulac 11/13/86 (22.21) R/R (Le Moyne College 9-2, 2.83 era, 14 GS, CGSO, 92.1 IP, 56 H, 36/29 R/ER, 43/113 BB/K, .170 BAA, A- Brooklyn 0-0, 9.82 era, 2 G, 3.2 IP, H, 4 ER, 2/6 BB/K, 0.25 GO/FO, .091 BAA, .82 WHIP, R Kingsport 1-0, 1.89 era, 6 G, 2 GS, SV, 19 IP, 15 H, 5/4 R/ER, HR, 6/23 BB/K, 1.36 GO/FO, .214 BAA, 1.11 WHIP, A Savannah 1-2, 3.55 era, 6 GS, 25.1 IP, 22 H, 13/10 R/ER, HR, 18/31 BB/K, 1.47 GO/FO, .239 BAA, 1.58 WHIP)

Total 2008 Minor League Stats: 2-2, 3.38 era, 14 G, 8 GS, SV, 48 IP, 38 H, 22/18 R/ER, 2 HR, 26/60 BB/K, 1.29 GO/FO, .220 BAA, 1.33 WHIP

Total 2008 Cumulative Stats: 11-4, 3.01 era, 28 G, 22 GS, 140.1 IP, 94 H, 69/173 BB/K, 1.16 WHIP

Beaulac was drafted by the Mets in the 9th round, 284th overall, out of Le Moyne College, and after signing for $90,000, he was sent to Brooklyn, then Kingsport, and lastly Savannah, where he posted a composite 3.38 era in 48 minor league innings. Here is a predraft 2008 scouting report on Beaulac:

Thanks to Coach Steven Owens: FB 91-93, very good slider 83-87 with depth, workable change....gives up very few hits per innings pitched, command needs to improve and reduce walks

Beaulac features a 3 pitch arsenal, a fastball, slider and changeup. He throws his fastball in the 92-94 range, but can pump it into the 95-96 range when needed. A very good trait (which he shares with Bobby Parnell and Brad Holt) is that Beaulac can maintain his fastball deep into games. His best secondary offering is a low to mid 80s slider he uses as an out pitch. This pitch has a good break and late movement, he uses it to generate Ks and grounders. He rounds out his arsenal with a developing upper 70s changeup which he needs to get more consistent with.

Beaulac should open the 2009 season back in Savannah, anchoring what is expected to be a very young, inexperienced staff. However, he should be in the mix for a midseason (or earlier) promotion to St. Lucie, followed by a likely stint in the junior AFL after the season (the replacement league for Hawaii), and then a start in Binghamton in 2010, which would put his debut sometime in mid 2011.

22. Gavin Dlouhy 6/19/88 (20.63) R/R - DNP in 2008

The Mets signed Dlouhy out of Australia in July of 2006, and he made his debut a year later for the GCL Mets, but only managed 25.1 innings in a crowded staff.

Dlouhy features a low 90s fastball, developing change, and a good splitter. He should open the season in A ball. He was highly regarded out of Australia, and has put up good numbers in limited time. His stuff is good enough to move up in the ranks of starting pitcher prospects in the system, and should be one to watch going forward. He is definite a sleeper candidate in 2008.

Dlouhy, like Cole Abbott, did not pitch in 2008, leading to speculation that they have quit baseball, and combined to form a boyband along with Nathan Vineyard.

1/13 Winter League Report + 1/14 Links! STONER!

*Note, the first counting stat is playoffs, the second is overall

According to El Universal, Fernando Martinez has been let go from Leones del Caracas of the Venezuelan Winter League.

"Martinez is a great player," Leones President Luis Avila told the newspaper, "but unfortunately he couldn’t hit as we hoped. We informed him of our decision yesterday and he took it in a very professional way."

Martinez ends the playoffs with a shaky .160/.250/.320/.570 line, though in only 25 ABs (4 for 25, 4 runs, 2b, HR, RBI, 3/7 BB/K). His overall winter line was stellar, including the 25 AB slump, he hit .292/.359/.511/.870 (52 for 178, 30 runs, 8 2b, 5 3b, 7 HR, 27 RBI, 17/39 BB/K). And this may be a good thing - less chance of him getting hurt, and remember, he should be playing for the Dominican in the WBC.

Taking A Look At The AFL Roster

The Mets will be sending 7 (or so) players to the Arizona Fall League this year to help improve on their individual weaknesses. The AFL is probably something close to AA as far as competition goes.

The big guys to look out for the Mets are Daniel Murphy (learning 2B), Eddie Kunz (working on slider), and Bobby Parnell (working on changeup). It is possible that all three of these guys could find a spot on the Mets 25 man roster out of spring training, but more likely that they'll all end up there at some point in the season.

Here's a recap of Scout.com's breakdown of the Mets players heading to the AFL, with emphasis on the guys who should have an impact on next season (+ Josh Thole).


Daniel Murphy: After making significant contributions to the big league club in the latter half of the summer, Murphy will be more closely watched than any of this group sent to Arizona. Murphy, who spent all of his time with the Mets in left field, will see a lot of time at second base as the organization hopes to have him as an option there for 2009. He spent minimal time at second base this summer and while he was quick on his feet and sharp turning double plays, range is a concern though his defense is cleaner there than on the hot corner. The slight time difference to react to the ball may allow Murphy to play improved defense as he learns the position, and that is something the club is banking on.

Eddie Kunz: The second-year reliever returns to the Arizona Fall League following last winters performance in which he posted a 10.13 ERA in 10 2/3 innings pitched /[9 games]/, striking out eleven. Now stronger heading into the AFL than he was in 2007, consistency will important for Kunz. However, more important will be the further development of his slider and changeup. Both pitches were stronger down the stretch, but not to the point where they gave Kunz steady options off his sinking fastball. The former Binghamton closer will likely have the opportunity to be a significant contributor in the big league bullpen and the steps he takes in AFL will go a long way to filling those chances. His six games in New Orleans in August were the last competitive innings he threw this year, and not doubt Kunz is hungry to return to the mound

Bobby Parnell: Like Kunz, Parnell was promoted to the big league club but as a September call up. And like Kunz, Parnell who got in five big league innings in six games figures to be up for a role in the Mets bullpen in 2009. His fastball/slider combination makes him a very favorable arm to have as both pitches have a lot of movement down in the strike zone. The development of his changeup will play a role in his work while in Arizona, but at least mild gains with the pitch will give him a leg up when competing for a role next spring. This is Parnell first trip to the Arizona Fall League

Josh Thole: The St. Lucie catcher saw a surge in offense this past season. His five home runs were four more than he hit over the last two combined seasons, but more importantly was the growth of his contact stroke. Thole is much more adept to taking pitches the other way and maintaining a consistent strike zone. Those traits helped him .300 for the first time in his career and become a Florida State League All-Star. There is room to grow for him behind the plate, and his arm strength is a concern, but Thole has not hit all that much prior to the 2008 season. Therefore, continuing his swing and plate awareness is key as he faces the most experienced pitching of his career.

Also joining these guys in the AFL Jason Vargas, Shawn Bowman, and Tobi Stoner.

Tobi Stoner had a second straight superb outing in AA tonight, leading the Mets to a 6-1 victory over the Baysox. Stoner fired 7 shutout innings, allowing just 3 hits and a walk to lower his AA ERA under 4 (3.96), and pick up his 4th win. Edgar Alfonzo finished off the game.

Fernando Martinez made his return, DHing and going 1 for 4 with a 2b, before being PH for in the 9th (that's not a good sign, huh?) Ambi Concepcion took the only 0-fer (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .249), while 3 players had multi hit games (Stewart, Petersen, Machado).

Another start, another miserable night for 21 year old Nick Carr, who is having a simply dreadful season. He lasted just 3 innings today, allowing 5 hits and 3 runs, to take his 9th loss of the season in the FSL. Edgar Ramirez came in and made sure the Mets wouldn't rally, serving up 4 runs on 5 hits in his 3 innings.

The offense had 10 hits and 2 walks, but was handcuffed by 2 DPs and 7 LOB. Brahiam Maldonado had the only multi hit game, as he tries to put on a late surge to respectability (.246 and climbing). Josh Thole (0 for 3, .302), and DJ Wabick (0 for 4, K, .280) had 0-fers.

After a couple days of slumping, Greg Veloz was back at it again with 2 more hits and one more walk, raising his average back to his high water mark (.289). He scored 2 and drove in one, giving him 51 RBI out of the leadoff spot, very very impressive. Francisco Pena and Brad Hubbert also had multi hit games, while Michael Parker was the lone 0-fer (0 for 3, .190).

Brant Rustich had his best start of the season with 5 shutout innings for his 3rd win. Junior Guerra pitched 3 innings in back of Rustich, and Jose Bierd closed it out.

Binghamton 9, Connecticut 3

Tobi Stoner's best start of the year resulted in his 3rd AA win, as the righty fired 8 innings of 3 hit 2 run ball to lead the Mets to a 9-3 pasting of Connecticut. Stoner struck out 7 over his 8 innings, and lowered his AA ERA to 4.47.

The Mets offense awoke to deliever an 8 run 4th inning, icing the game early and allowing Stoner to pitch comfortably with a 9-0 lead. Caleb Stewart (0 for 5, K, .278) took the only 0-fer, while Dan Murphy, Ambi Concepcion and Jon Malo had multi hit games. Of note, Murphy started in left field tonight, one of only a handful of games he's played out there (Evans and Carp have played the bulk of the LF).

Jose Jimenez hit a game tying 3 run homer in the 8th inning, and then Jason Jacobs delievered a game winning single to drive in JR Voyles in the top of the 14th inning, as Brooklyn rallied from 4-1 down to defeat Vermont 5-4. Eric Campbell's good July was wrecked by an 0 for 5, but he wasn't the only Coney to take an 0-fer. John Servidio (0 for 4, K, .256) and Cesar Cordido (0 for 4, .154) also took 0-fers, while Matt Smith, Jason Jacobs and Kirk Nieuwenhuis had multi hit games.

New Orleans 1, Iowa 4

Willie Collazo had a decent outing today, going 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 8 hits, but his offense did nothing for him, so he took his 4th loss of the season.

The offense managed just 4 hits and 1 run, the run coming off Gustavo Molina's bat, a solo shot in the 8th. 4 different players had hits, 4 others went 0-fer, Anderson Hernandez (0 for 4, K, .182), Chris Aguila (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .302), Raul Casanova (0 for 3, K, .382) and Raul Gonzalez (0 for 3, .333)

Binghamton 3, Erie 2

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. LaVigne allowed a solo homer, blowing the save and denying 420 his first AA win, despite a very good game (6 ip, 5 h, er, 5 k). Eric Brown and Eude Brito pitched in between Stoner and LaVigne.

Mike Carp, after terrorizing the EL for the first half of June, is now 0 for his last 8, dropping his average 12 points to .350. In fact, the top 3 in the Bingo order (Reed (.250), Evans (.302), Carp (.350)) went 0 for 12. Josh Petersen (.327) and Emmanuel Garcia (.213) also took 0-fers, both going 0 for 3. The offense came out of the middle 3 batters, Stewart, Concepcion and Manriquez went a combined 7 for 10 with 3 runs, 2 2b, a HR and 2 RBI.

Ruben Tejada had a breakout game in St. Lucie, getting on base 5 times in 6 trips with 3 singles, a homer, and walk. For the month of June, Tejada is hitting .360/.411/.475 (22 for 61, 2 2b, 3b, HR, 7 RBI, 5/5 BB/K, 2/2 SBs). 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.

Steven Chenry worked 2 innings, giving up a run in the bottom of the 10th, but the Gnats held on for a 5-4 win.

Guillaume Leduc's season debut left alot to be desired, he got roughed up for 5 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks in just 2.1 innings. Thomas Paredes second relif outing didn't go much better then his first, he gave up a run in 0.2 innings. Phillips Orta, piggybacking on Leduc, pitched 3 effective innings, giving up just a hit, but walking 4 while K'ing 5. Stephen Puhl and Jason LaVaorgna finished off the disasterous game.

The Mets offense was held to just 7 hits, and 4 players took 0-fers. Imbawer Alvarez (0 for 5, K), Pedro Zapata (0 for 3, BB, .167), Michael Moras (0 for 4), and Doug McNulty (0 for 3). Dan Stegall had the only multi hit game.
