AA
Stuart 1-4, BB, 2 k's, 2 SB
Evans 2-4, BB, 2b, K
Smith 0-2 (pulled for not running out a groundball. As noted by others he posted last week he eats Chipotle "at least" twice per week. Normally you could just say minor leaguers don't have much money... Smith does. Dumb. If I'm the Mets I read him the riot act after the season. Talk about how they view him as a key piece of this team as soon as next year but that he must take his diet and conditioning more seriously.)
Taylor 2 innings 2 hits 1 run 1 walk 4 k's

Maria 0-2, 2 BB, K (has been fantastic but is a 5'9 almost 22 year old without a position. Ya never know sometimes but 1b/C who is said to be "very poor" behind the plate... tough to get too excited especially given the fact he has never hit before, maybe you try him at 2b? I don't know?)
Ramirez 0-3, BB, K
Uceta 4 innings 8 hits 6 runs 1 earned 1 walk 8 k's (A guy I thought might have a breakout season. Really odd numbers this year 26 innings 40 hits yet a sparkling 29-5 K/BB

Actually when he's in St. Lucie his mom and sister live with him (or did very recently) in part because they were going to cook for him.

Maybe that's his weight loss plan...
I mean if you get the bowl sans rice

Chipolte isnt horrible for you. I will say a 21 year old professional athlete who is working out/playing every day shouldnt be fat just from Chipolte. There has to be wayyyyy more going on there.
Whatever works for him

Or a lot better when you have twice been sent to "fitness camp" and as recently as 2 weeks ago had Eric Longerhagen AND Keith Law (maybe his biggest fan) say they had JUST scouted him up close and that he was 20 pounds from being a DH. Law loves his talent so it's not some strange "hating".
Body by Chipotle

I'm sure Dom Smith isn't skipping the cheese or sour cream and is getting burritos instead of the bowl lol
Prince Fielder  
debo_GIANTS : 7/28/2016 10:33 am : link
had some insane raw power. I remember seeing him hit HRs during BP at tiger stadium at age 13.

Prince Fielder had freakish power. His game featured an elite, top of the league offensive profile for a multi-year run. From 07-2012 Prince Fielder had a 151 OPS+ (that's higher than Mike Piazza's career mark). Hard to say but Fielder's quick decline may have been weight related. I think we'd all take a 5-6 years of Prince Fielder but that's basically asking for a HOF caliber run from Smith.

He played in MTV's Rock N Jock and hit one as far as anyone else playing... at 13-14 years old lol

don't want to make this a multi-page "argument" about Dom Smith's weight. I just wondered why he was pulled, then it was revealed it was for not running out a grounder and made me think of his love of Chipotle. Not making a massive deal about it. Just want to see him drop some weight.

Amed Rosario ranked #18 and Dominic Smith #68 on MLB Pipeline's Midseason Top 100.
On the bright side

with Smith, while his weight adds to his bust potential, it also might mean there's some extra hidden upside there if he ever takes his conditioning seriously.
Strange

Any thoughts on Tomas Nido? Seems Josh Thole-ish.

Better defender than Thole ever was.
