Controversy here at Frontier Field, as LeCroy argues after a Mark Vientos shot down the LF line is initially called a HR but has now been called FOUL. SYR skipper Kevin Boles comes out and is gives a piece of his mind to the umpires, and now he's been tossed. @PickinSplinters

Vientos eventually struck out. He then threw his bat, his helmet, and let HP umpire Sam Burch know certain things. Now he's been tossed, as well. Wings lead 2-1 in middle of 6th. @PickinSplinters
0 xbh in last 9 games but 9 walks and 6 singles so his obp has actually gone up and ba stayed about the same. guessing he's just not getting much to hit (other than the foul ball that got him tossed i guess).
Should have stopped the Matz trade at Winckowski and Diaz. Winckowski with the Red Sox has a 3.38 ERA in 9 starts in AAA. With the Red Sox, he has made 4 starts with a 3.60 ERA. Only 13 Ks in 20 innings, but still looks like he would be decent depth behind Peterson.
his ranking always seemed likely to be inflated given the small price paid for him. he seemed like a guy that was already given up on.
Sure. But it's very hard to see the path towards this specific example of that working out. 30+% K rate, "okay" pop and some speed AND a "solid" but not plus fielder (good arm though). I wasn't even critiquing the Mets, rather, I wouldn't count on him for much going forward.
i think both sides were shifting deck chairs and the strong likelihood is still neither gets much out of it. maybe lee is athletic enough to become a 4th OFer like janikowski. maybe the P can be a depth guy or shift to the BP and be on a Nogosek level.
Lee is one of thousands of examples of why I am a hit tool guy first and foremost.
Quote:
Lee was coming off a season where he stole 53 bases, and he has some pop. I can see a GM being enamored by that, and being willing to trade a pitcher that is likely a backend guy at best. So I can't be too upset with the thought process in it

Agreed. I was always hoping he would be an adequate backup OF. That doesn't even look very likely at this point.

I'm not saying he has no chance to be Jankowski but Jankowski is also a plus glove (which is why he even has any role) AND believe it or not hit .414 his draft year and is a career .296 minor league hitter over 8 seasons.
even this year he's exceeded our expectations but he's still hitting like .200 as a met with 0 xbh.

Lee is not considered a plus glove no. He has good speed and a plus arm but it plays down due to his jumps. He's played very little CF since joining the Mets.
"Lee’s above-average speed and plus arm (dating back to his pitching days) give him defensive assets, and he profiles best in right field, where he spent most of last season"
for comparisons sake here was Jankowski's
Sickels-His best tools are 70-grade speed and excellent defensive instincts
Rosebaum-Jankowski’s plus speed lends to his above-average defense in the outfield and makes him a constant stolen base threat, as he’s an intelligent base stealer who understands where to pick his spots. Furthermore, his arm should be good enough to stick in center field.

Mets roster moves:
* Colin Holderman back from the IL … but sent down to Triple-A Syracuse
* Tylor Megill transferred to 60-day IL
* Kramer Robertson, an infielder, claimed off waivers from the Braves and sent to Syracuse
Yeah pretty much. He won't even be evaluated for 4 weeks and then he'd have to build his arm back up. It can be backdated to June 17th, but they were hinting at Mid-August best realistic case for an MLB return. It's basically viewed as a a 2 month injury with rehab included (IF things go according to plan).
