Guillorme 1-3 (rehab)
Mazeika 0-4, 2 k's
Khalil Lee 2-4 (Lee so far in June .444/.583/.722 (18 ab's) maybe most impressive is the 6 walks.
@SyracuseMets bullpen yesterday sounded like a law firm Roney, Windle, and Schugel

Vientos 0-5, 2 k's (33 k's over 87 ab's)

BK
Mauricio 1-5, 2b, 2 k's (The new power is something to see. Still a lot more raw than say Baty, K/BB isn't great, most upside in the system, floor is a non-big leaguer due to swing and miss and eventual position ?? Upside is middle of the order all-star)
Baty 1-2, HR, 2 walks ("Sadly" I don't think I'll be seeing Bay in person in 3 weeks as he looks headed toward a promotion. Big-time Baty believer)
Alvarez 3-4, BB, 2 2b's (Started slowly in BK, heating up)
Adrian Hernandez 0-5, 3 k's (Gotta wonder if Adrian Hernandez is a candidate to be demoted when SS ball begins. He's been non-competitive in BK to this point (he's only 20 and possibly overmatched)
Butto 4 innings 8 hits 6 runs 2 walks 4 k's
St. Lucie
Palmer 0-2, BB, K
Ramirez 0-2, 2 k's, 2 SB (1/18 with 9 k's to start his pro career)
Rojas 5 innings 1 hit 0 runs 0 walks 2 k's
The Yankees are 31-29, 2-8 over their last 10, -4 run differential... and ahead of the Mets...

I think you're hoping for a 40. Just put him at 1B and let him rake....

He's improved there, but for me it's just gone from "no way in hell" to "probably not".
I don't take any joy in that, and I think he'll be great in MLB, but a disastrous start to his career.
A bit surprised Baty isnt on there, but then again it doesnt really matter for anything other than water cooler talk.

Mets make baseball america's latest top 100. Alvarez 21, Mauricio 57

I’d be surprised if there was much more than 50 guys on that list that the Mets would trade Baty for right at this moment.
I know the TJ surgery is pushing him back, but I suppose I'd still say Matt Allan.
Mauricio moving up will be fascinating to watch, as he sees more breaking balls. Can he adjust? If so, watch out. If not? Think late career Jose.
6 + 7 are Vientos and Ginn, and you can either rank Lee ahead of them or below them. Though I think if you're ranking him ahead it's probably because he's already debuted which is a little unfair to count as a positive but not "graduate" him.
Unrelated (but not) this was an interesting stat among all Met minor leaguers. The Vientos/Baty numbers are interesting given the age/comp levels.

#Mets minor league leaders in XBH% (XBH/balls in play, min. 40 BIP):
Hayden Senger - 23.9
David Thompson - 20.6
Carlos Cortes - 20.5
Ronny Mauricio - 19.1
Mason Williams - 19.0
Brett Baty - 17.7
Jake Mangum - 17.5
Joe Genord - 16.7
Mark Vientos - 16.1
Francisco Álvarez - 15.9
I mean XHB% may as well be called the "fun to watch" stat.

Almora expected to be in the lineup for Syracuse
-Seidler has Baty sticking at 3b and a potential offensive "monster". Longenhagen/Goldstein less sure he sticks at 3b.
If he moves off of 3b he's going to be a 1b. Baty is a below average runner.
I can't imagine a scenario he's not at least given a chance to fail at 3b (unless blocked by somebody they add).
@TimBritton
Mets rehab updates:
*Albert Almora Jr. starts a rehab assignment with Syracuse tonight.
*Luis Guillorme could be activated as soon as Friday.
*Jeff McNeil may start a rehab with Syracuse as soon as Friday.
Stroman the opposite.
Obviously Conforto has the 2nd half (if he ever comes back) to offer some correction, but not really the case with Noah.
I wonder how the Mets handle, buy low on short-er term deals, QO, let walk?
Coming in to the year I would have said re-sign Conforto and Syndergaard and let Stro walk - can't offer him the QO anyway.
but now, not likely. I think they almost have to re-sign Stro at this point.
I also wonder (and I know it's probably not likely) if CLE knew anything about Carrasco and his injury. Almost seemed to good to be true to get him included in the trade.

Álvarez is the second youngest player out of the 482 minor league hitters with at least 100 plate appearances.

I can't imagine any team in baseball has a better assortment of IF prospects. They have 3 high end prospects and a handful of interesting depth guys behind that. The OF and P need more but the IF is legit. Obviously hard to project the minors relative to big league needs but I would definitely be prioritizing multi-year $ into the P and OF over IF. Though I'd be open to early extensions for McNeil + Alonso to tack on a few FA years if the value is there.

TB does. Franco, Brujan, Edwards. All are top 50 prospects.
From the Top 100: Edwards went to Tampa Bay in the Tommy Pham trade but has yet to play a pro game for the Rays due to the pandemic. He’s a natural shortstop who played more second base in the Padres’ system, although the Rays might try him back at shortstop to maintain some versatility and see if his speed and arm stroke are good enough to play there. He’s a plus runner with great bat-to-ball skills and quick wrists, generating good bat speed that should translate into fringe-average power when he fills out — although without that, he’s going to have a hard time generating enough extra-base power to be a regular. His ultimate ceiling depends on that, and whether he stays at short, or perhaps becomes a plus defender at second or even in center field.
He needs to be on a short leash with a week with 2 off days

Can’t use that as an excuse to keep running out a 6 era guy who is averaging 4.2 innings per start.
Significantly better (linked)

I’m not defending Lucchesi fwiw. Neither should be in the rotation.

He’s another 6+ ERA pitcher that can’t go past 4 innings per start (if even). IMO, they both need to be replaced immediately.

I hear ya. It’s hard trotting out these two guys each week. Not sure what the issue is with making a change. It almost seems like the Mets are resting on the fact that they are in first place and trying to hold the line until they get some pitchers back. Otherwise, I just don’t get it.
