NFT: 2014-Mets Minor league stuff

was a 36th round pick last year and is 3-4 years away from even being in the discussion. He's shown a lot of power and he strikes out a lot. He was just moved from 1b to C.

Sounds like he got about $150,000 from the Mets. Supposedly Toronto had inquired about taking him in the 10th round but they could not agree on terms

could have been offering underslot in the 10th round.

stats for the UDFA they signed lol



13 G, 16.2 IP
7 H, 17 BB, 13 K, 6 HBP, 10 WP, 0 HR
3.24 ERA

apparently only got 150 K himself. I'm surprised. Guess he didn't want to go to college.

Wild thing?

ophomore right-hander Derrick Bernard (Texas City, TX/Texas City HS/Blinn College) has signed to play with the New York Mets. Bernard will report to the Mets' Rookie League team at Port St. Lucie in the Gulf Coast League.

Bernard appeared in 13 games for the Lobos in relief this spring, posting a 1-1 record with one save. He allowed seven hits in 16 2/3 innings, allowed 10 runs, including six earned. He walked 17 batters and struck out 13, held opponents to a team best .127 batting average, and posted a team-leading 3.24 earned run average.

Bernard also started several games at quarterback for the Lobo football team last fall, completing 84 of 196 passes for 724 yards and seven touchdowns, rushing 153 times for 657 yards, scoring seven touchdowns and leading Sul Ross State in total offense, averaging 15.3 yards per game.

Bernard is the second Lobo pitcher in two seasons to sign a professional contract. Senior pitcher Dakota Dill (Spring, TX/U. of Houston) signed with the Atlanta Braves last spring after being drafted in the 26th round of the major league baseball draft.

"It's a good opportunity for Derrick, and it's something he couldn't pass up," said Sul Ross State Head Coach and Interim Director of Athletics Bobby Mesker. "We would have loved to have him back next year, but he got a good deal and will get to finish out his education. I'm happy for him, and interested to see how he does."

Mesker said that the Mets had been watching Bernard for a while. "The Mets watched one of our intra-squads and watched him throw, and they followed up," said Mesker. "They saw him throw again this summer, and they liked him."

Pitching a rehab game for GCL

.

Blake Taylor strikes out 3 in his first inning with the GCL Mets, walking 1 #mets

Blake Taylor 2 innings 0 hits 0 runs 2 walks 4 k's #mets

22nd rounder @flumdogg with his first pro-multi-hit game (he really should be in BK) #mets


Blake Taylor.. wow 3 innings 1 hit 0 runs 2 walks... 6 k's! #mets

.

what a debut.


Fulmer in GCL likely means they don't view him as much but he should be in BK anyway. Cyclones have absolute garbage at 2b.

Make it 4 innings 1 hit 0 runs 2 walks... 7 k's for Taylor, @flumdogg with 3 hits, including 2b #mets

Had another K in the 4th

Not too familiar with Dionis Rodriguez but off to solid start.. and that CS% in 2012... http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=rodrig003dio #mets

Hit batsmen and a walk.

Kevin Canelon comes in and strands 2. Taylor final line 4 innings 1 hit 0 runs 3 walk 7 k's, balk, hbp and a partridge in a pear tree #mets

...Laloosh?

.

but that 1 hit is a 2 run Brandon Nimmo home run

both hitting for Brooklyn. Urena with his second HR. Rosario 2-3

He has hit at every level and doesn't strike out much so no reason to believe he won't find success in the PCL.

3 innings 1BB 7K's

3 innings, 1 hit 4k's

people believe that is a typo and that's Logan Taylor. I'm not 100% positive but I think it's Logan

to be actually, Blake pitched 6/24

but those guys throw so little (3 innings tonight) I didn't know if that was some kind of new regimen.

was curious too (especially tough to decipher because NOBODY goes to GCL games) but Logan Taylor tweeted he was pitching tonight which tipped people off.

actually like Logan Taylor a lot, he had TJ which set him back but he's a big dude, interesting story... went to a 4 year school, didn't even make the rotation, transferred to a 2 year, was going to go back to the 4 year but then the Mets took him. At the very least he's one of the more intriguing lower level arms and could finish up in St. Lucie.

6 innings 0 runs 2 hits 8K's 0.40 Era

sign 7/2 signee SS Yoel Romero, no scouting report I can find yet.

Per @BenBadler Romero received 300K from the Mets. Good agility, average arm plays up, fringy runner, gap power with potentially more #mets

for Syndergaard. He's been pretty unimpressive this year, PCL or not. Might make sense just to keep him in AAA this year and let him try to make the team out of camp next year.

sign IFA SS Edgardo Fermin

Per @BenBadler Fermin received 250K, "solid tools", advanced instincts and feel, below average runner, fringe arm but smooth at SS, LD stroke

have reportedly added 6 players

Daniel Guzman LHP VZ
Augustin Casila RHP DR
Claudio Geraldo OF DR
Hansel Moreno SS DR
Kenny Hernandez SS/2b/3b (1 million)
Edgardo Fermin SS VZ

.

triceps strain, Brosher broken leg.

Venezuelan outfielder Tulio Garcia signed with the Mets for $175,000 today on his 16th birthday. Garcia has a compact lefty swing, good bat speed and a projectable and athletic 6-foot-2, 185-pound frame, which gives him the potential to hit for average and power. He has dealt with a shoulder injury and projects as a right fielder. Garcia trained with Carlos Luna.

he's hitting .320 in Vegas.

Keep playing Tejada because he earned the job .

But has the Yankees purge started with ifa? Or are they waiting on bdays? I haven't heard anything insane like 30'million.

It's basically Sandy's Super Bowl and the only thing the Mets win anymore. Colon & Murphy could both bring back pretty solid returns, though I'd probably only trade Murphy if I was absolutely blow away. Saving 19M for next season and adding a couple more good positional prospects would be a real good start to building the team next year.

It's the tax that would make the number so high. Ex. Yankees spend $10-$15mm on player bonus, then they would have to pay an additional $10-$15mm in tax. So actual cost of spending $10-$15mm becomes $20-$30mm plus future restrictions.

to Niese? Out after 1 batter.

Bruise. He's fine.

hit by a come-backer?

Just a thought here with campbell hitting well and playing 3b.

Is Wright moving to 1B an option? Let's face it Wright seems to get injured every year, other than being beaned, would 1B be less impactful on him and lead to less injuries?

Seems like 3b could be easier to fill than 1B - maybe even Flores at 3b if Campbell isn't an everyday 3b.

not for flores or Campbell since wrights gold glove d at 3rd has been missed at 3rd over the last week probably cost the team 1 or 2 games
