Ventura 2.1 innings 1 hit 0 runs 0 walks 6 k's (rehab)
David .1 innings 0 hits 2 runs 2 walks 0 k's (his numbers are so unbelievably bad, I can't believe they haven't sent him to the IL to work on his command, this can't be particularly productive... 11.2 innings 24 walks)
Gomez 1 inning 1 hit 0 runs 1 walk 2 k's (One to watch)
Some notes-Andinson Ferrer to begin his career 7.1 innings 5 walks but 17 k's
Grant Hartwig 25.2 innings 22 hits 8 walks 39 k's
HR's have killed him (11 over 49 innings) but Alex Valverde might be worth monitoring as a sleeper. 12.86 K/9 (70 k's leads the organization), 3.89 xFIP, .387 BABIP, relatively young (26 in September)
William Lugo 6'3 215, only 20 years old, (signed thanks to IFA money received for Familia) 119 wRC+, good walk rate... if he grows into some more power....
with 5 weeks until the deadline though and a lineup that could use another bat i don't understand not seeing what he can do. worst case you make a trade and send him back down.
this isn't justification because i agree but there are 2 potential negatives i can think of:
1. giving him a new position to learn is an extra new thing that could bring with him to the plate.
2. they may think his trade value is highest showing he can play short stop.
if his offense starts picking up and the deadline passes, both factors are mitigated so if he's still here i think we could see him get some action out there in august.
i think the more likely reason is that unlike those other guys he still has a lot of development offensively. Vientos and Baty each have pretty advanced approaches offensively.
keeping him at SS and not having to learn a new position is 1 less thing. i can see them thinking to get the bat going first and then figure the position out later.
he's very paul oneil. there was a great article on the athletic re oneil a month or so ago talking about the subway series and his AB vs. benitez and it was super interesting bc he claimed he knew he had no chance of getting a hit vs. benitez so he was just trying to foul balls off to draw a walk.
The walk that helped shape the 2000 Subway Series - ( New Window )
agreed off the bat i thought mcneil had 3 rbis but they had the LF positioned well i guess.
i think kinley got hurt.

wonder what they would have to include with Dom to get both Bard and Kinley.
i think kinley got hurt.
Missed that. Thanks. Well, I'd happily take Bard
Strange things happen when you replace a third of the lineup, huh?
He is 24 but he was a two sport athlete, playing QB at both South Carolina and Cal. I saw him at Cal and he basically ran around a lot. Definitely has quickness.
So he really has never concentrated on baseball full time until recently. He appears to really be coming on and they have moved him to CF, where he played his last season at Cal. Given his athleticism CF would seem to be his position.

Premium athlete. Law is of the belief he's simply missed too much development time to really reach what his projected/potential ceiling was. Forget not really concentrating on baseball, he basically didn't play (127 total ab's not including summer league) and that's at 2 different stops. I've been pumping him up for a while now bit it IS worth noting his BABIP is ridiculous (it was over .400 as of a few days ago). At the very least, he was a nice "free" pickup and we'll see where it goes.

Interesting about Law.
On the other hand, you could say the guy has played so little and despite that is already at AA and off to a good start.
Thanks for linking that Ira
37 xbh's is pretty low but 20 steals boosts that.
the career line is pretty decent if he can keep moving through the system and offset the babip losses with positive development.
124g / 480 pa
.809 ops (.275 / .373 / .436)
11 hr, 60 rbis, 20 steals
the babip suggests he's more of a .230-.250 hitter than .275 but that's an area he may also be able to improve. having the solid walk rate is a good start. apparently a very cross functional athlete.
Looks like he might have pulled something.

hopefully just a bit of rest for McNeil and putting in a defensive guy

Yeah he was walking pretty gingerly there after scoring... time to hold your breath

Jeff McNeil is out of the game with an apparent leg injury. #LGM
but you never know
i wonder if there's a 3b in the system they can call up?
Having to tank Walters, Dyer, and Orze to select Ginn was one of the reasons I was against selecting him. I did not think he was substantially ahead of this guy who signed for slot when he was drafted later in the same round.
LINK - ( New Window )
pitchers break is the truest saying of all time.
obviously there may be some talents you can't pass up but when you factor in 3-4 years of development time where you need a pitcher to be healthy along with the reality that they need to be healthy once they get to the majors, it's got to be such a lower probability investment than every day players.
with Cohen's $, i think the move is the draft for depth like last year and use the bigger $ on position players. Then buy free agents in UFA.

they mentioned his wife was due to give birth soon i wonder if they can put him on the paternity leave list for a week to create a roster spot?
A player can be placed on the Paternity Leave List any time during the MLB regular season and post-season.
A player must remain on the Paternity Leave List for at least 24 hours, but no more than 72 hours.
i guess it makes sense since the team had a lot of free time last october.

Paternity list is only up to 72 hours.

The Mets have signed OF Ender Inciarte to a minor league deal, per source.
As for McNeil if he doesn't need to hit the IL, they could sit him Tuesday and Wednesday, have him take paternity leave on Friday-Sunday and come back Tuesday. He'd miss 5 games total.
Tuesday, Wed, Friday, Sat, Sunday and rejoin them Tuesday (no games Thurs/Monday) could call up Vientos on Friday

Yankees released him the other day. Didn't make it back to the bigs with the Reds or Yankees and there is this...
"He’s hit .200/.267/.277 in 220 plate appearances at the major league level since the start of 2020."
but zero downside
At this time they don't really need a black hole OF who is passable in CF ala Albert Almora from last year. They have very little OF depth (Plummer, Lee, Palka who can't really play out there etc) so I expect them to cycle a bunch of these types through. Daniel Johnson was a valid attempt but he's been laughably bad.

very bizarre to see such a defensive fall off, but it looks like he's been at least playable in CF. hard to see him being a better call up option than mangum but like you said, depth.
