Not Mets related but Corey Seager last night went 6-6 with a HR, 2b and 6 rbi. Stud
AAA-
Reynolds 0-4 3 k's (has really stunk it up in May)
Rivera 0-4
Tovar 0-2, 2 k's
Bowman 6 innings 7 hits 5 runs 4 earned 1 walk 3 k's (believe it or not, this was one of his better starts)
AA-
Cecchini 3-4, 2b (Once Matz is promoted one could argue Cecchini as high as the Mets 2nd or 3rd best prospect at this point)
Boyd 1-4, 2b (promoted to AAA to replace Kyle Johnson who needs surgery)
Cessa 6 innings 3 hits 0 runs 0 walks 5 k's (nice start to his season, could see him in 2016 BP)
Sewald 1 inning 2 hits 0 runs 0 walks 1 K (should be promoted)
A+
Whalen 4.2 innings 6 hits 3 runs 3 walks 4 k's (solid start to the season but that K-rate is not very good)
Secrest 1.1 perfect 1 k
McNeil 2-3, 2b
Smith 2-5, 2b (really heating up, still yet to homer however)
Conforto 0-5, K
Stuart 0-4, 2 k's
Rosario 2-4, BB
TDA 0-3, BB, K
A
Knapp 5 innings 4 hits 1 run 1 walk 7 k's
Delgado 4 innings 1 hit 0 runs 3 walks 7 k's
Garcia 0-4, 2 k's
Becerra 0-4, K
Wuilmer Becerra played a nice game in RF and would have had an assist on a strike to the plate, but the Catcher ole'd the throw.

Neither pitcher is much of a prospect. Knapp hasn't really progressed and is viewed as organizational filler and Delgado is an indy ball kid they signed for depth (already 24). Knapp was viewed as a potential Gee type but looks like that was optimistic.
Yes. 5'11 170 RHP
Also pumped to see Cecchini doing well at AA. He's a plus defender right? If Wright can't go this year, most likely answer if Herrera 2B, Flores SS, and Murphy 3B, or a trade, but I wonder if Cecchini can hit well enough to maybe make a Murphy 2B, Cecchini SS, Flores 3B type of thing something to consider come August.

Smith only 9 walks in 141 PA's so far this year.
Lol never mind. They just promoted him to AA.
Tiny righty whose stuff wasn't deemed good enough to be drafted or signed until age 24 nor mentioned as a top Indy prospect by BA. I don't have my hopes up but who knows?
Roger Clemens too! If you ever are bored check out the Mets draft history and scroll around you will be shocked with some of the names they picked but didn't sign (true of every team, not knocking them).
Yup. Underrated by casual fans due to era/skillset.
My friends and I all agreed our favorite season was 99, even more than the 2000 team that reached the WS. I remember watching those playoff games in my dorm room and Yankee fans would come by and say "I hate the Mets but you are so into it I'm sort of rooting for them" lol
Is Olerud really a borderline hall of famer? I always liked him but on name (not stats/research) I definitely don't think of him as borderline.

is a borderline HOF. Terrific contact hitter with a high OBP to above avg to very good power.

Borderline HOF is overstating his case a bit but "borderline great in his prime" player is probably close to the truth. 10 year run of 136 OPS+ 92-2002
But the bar for first basemen is insanely high.
not sure how the stats bear out, plus Delgado was somewhat of a douche bag.

Letting him walk in FA was one of the first true "Freddy Coupons" decisions that set the franchise back needlessly. Breaking up that 99' IF was so f*cking stupid. Probably the most fun baseball year I can remember.

I remember watching the grand slam single game at a crappy bar/restaurant in Boynton Beach FL with my grandparents, not letting anyone leave until the game was over. 99 team was so much fun, most underrated guy on the team was by far Ricky Henderson. His stats that year were INSANE looking back. That lineup just fit together so perfectly. The top 5 guys were all prototypical guys for their spots in the BO and the IF defense was obviously almost unrivaled.
Interesting.
ROSTER MOVES: Conforto and Yeixon Ruiz up to @bmets. Stefan Sabol (Savannah) and Tucker Tharp (Brooklyn) promoted to St. Lucie. #Mets

said in his years with the Mets that Delgado was the biggest asshole of them all. Didn't really seem that way as a fan but KB isn't a troll and I believe him.
Interesting.
He said something like of all the guys he ever dealt with Delgado was the only one who went out of his way to make KB (and other writers) lives harder. The fact he got so little HOF support makes me believe this 100%
That guy would repeat stories like they were going out of style.
It makes me really appreciate Gary, Ron and Keith when I think back to the old days.
I remembered reading that. He was like Eddie Murray 2.0, and he had the whole issue where he wouldn't stand for the national anthem which just got under my skin.
I know most of you guys enjoyed Ojeda but he annoyed me for some reason. His obsession with "old school" ways of doing things annoyed me. Why must these guys choose SABER or non-SABER? I know quite a few fans who can use both. Gary has been slow to accept advanced numbers but slowly has started to. I like Figgy as well. The guy who replaced KB is so non-descript I couldn't pick him out of a lineup.
is on point on everything that he talks about. He answers the questions he is asked and doesn't go off on mini tirades
HH,
100% going by bonus or BA previously citing
Aybar (though if he's there for very long that's a bad sign, he's already 21)
Chourio
Daniel Guzman
Juan Uriate (Mexican catcher)
Hansel Moreno (big SS)
Edgardo Fermin (VZ SS)
Tulio Garcia (bonus OF)
Debora (big kid, busted for PED's older)
Really curious to see where Kenny Hernandez plays. The bat sounds very intriguing.
