I'm not saying they picked a bunch of Mike Hamptons but it seems like a lot more interesting pitchers than I can ever recall.
lol. it seems like this is the 3rd or 4th time he was PO'd and CS in the same game.

He's toolsy as all hell (arguably the best OF arm in the system, plus speed) but he's routinely been hurt and it's been said he's not the most instinctual player. I've heard him compared to a "lesser" Carlos Gomez.
I would put Zwack in there too

far it's only a 2021 thing (Vasil/Scott/Seymour). Can't think of any examples in the previous 2 drafts (2020 only 5 rounds, 2019 nobody comes to mind)

Hamel, too. Though I guess you could say third round is not really mid round. But still a good pick of a college pitcher in that same 2021 draft.

Zwack is almost certainly an RP (despite starting now). 90-92 on the FB, funky delivery, really a 2 pitch guy. Could be a big leaguer but probably not a SP.

Hamel was a good pick but 3rd round is still considered a "high pick". Most draft writers consider top 100 picks to be "high picks". Hamel went 83rd

Mets are discussing the possibility of a Sunday night minor league rehab start for Jacob deGrom at St. Lucie.
My ideal situation is he gets promoted ASAP, rakes over the next couple of months and is promoted Sep 1 to the big club.
And yeah, I'm promoting him to at least Nido's role.
I haven't been as excited about a prospect since Reyes.

Nada. He's ready for AAA, he's almost certainly not ready to catch Scherzer and co. in key games but I suspect he'd their primary DH come September UNLESS they swing a deal for a bat before then. I went back through the top C prospects to come up over the last decade or so a Alvarez and his 130 games caught would represent the lowest I've found other than Rutschman (112) BUT Rutschman caught 185 college games (+55 in AAA) so it's apples and oranges.

NEWS: According to @martinonyc
, the #Mets will look to trade for a designated hitter & bullpen help before the trade deadline. However, they will not trade any "high end prospects."
Martino mentions Charlie Blackmon & Josh Bell as potential fits for the DH role. #LGM
AA Vargas
A+ Zwack

Since May 2nd, @MarkVientos_5 is hitting .291 with 26 RBIs, 11 home runs, three doubles, 17 walks and a .388 on-base percentage! He'll be at 1B for us tonight as we take on the @IronPigs #wearethefuture

Not really sure what the plan is here. Not like they will move Alonso to DH for Vientos, I guess making sure he can handle it in a pinch? Just doesn't seem to add much value down the stretch.

they don't have a lot of backup 1b candidates (basically dom and jdd and either/both could get traded). so it makes sense in that respect.
had they called vientos instead of dom a couple weeks ago he'd have probably gotten the 1b start they gave dom?
I have no issue with LG and Escobar at 3b if they find a DH. Obviously you hope escobar gets his stuff together to handle at least 60% of that platoon, but guillorme's defense and peskiness fit this team.
they just have to solve the vast emptiness of the DH spot.
100%. Vientos should have been called up to get a crack at almost every day DH 2 weeks ago.
the only days he'd be off DH are the days when they want to give Alonso a break (which is why him playing 1b now is useful).
i'd imagine like JDD they will give him infrequent starts at 3b just so he's ready in the event of an emergency, but im sure that's low down their list of priorities.
or the spot for Mauricio? and maybe why they haven't bothered with him in the OF yet?
guess we should have taken hosmer and paddack even with the tjs lol.
Quote:
same person said 50/50 chance Baty is a 3b vs. a CO. So we've gone from 2 potential 3b prospects to possibly 2 hitters (though Baty in LF and Vientos DH/1b wouldn't be a bad outcome if they can hit) just opens 3b up to "who could they eventually add?"
or the spot for Mauricio? and maybe why they haven't bothered with him in the OF yet?
3b means he has to hit/get on base even more, not less. His OBP for the year is .289. I don't see it.
Quote:
also told Dom has "near 0" trade value and "solid RP" isn't realistic, more like a guy with a track record who is struggling a bit.
guess we should have taken hosmer and paddack even with the tjs lol.
In hindsight they probably should have. Wouldn't have helped the 2022 club much (Pagan has been fucking awful) but Hosmer has been solid. It would have basically been Dom for Hosmer (for this year).

escobar's career OBP is .307 and the last few years only peaked around .330. he's obviously not a super star but outside of his numbers this year he's been a viable starter (who did make 1 asg i think).
that's not an unattainable target for Mauricio especially if he just starts making more consistent contact. he's making loud enough contact that i would imagine that's an adjustment not far off his future.
Trade of attrition lol, though yeah, Paddack longer term is better than Dom for the Mets
im not comparing their trajectory as prospects just that he was a viable starting 3b for how many years with a sub .320 OBP?
if mauricio brings his BA from .255 to .275 even without walking more he will be in that ball park. and he projects to have just as much if not more power. Mauricio's iso this year is basically where escobar's has been in his best years.
a 20/20 3b with a decent batting average and low walks is viable if his defense is solid (no idea how that would translate but presumably it's an easier transition than OF). it's basically Amed Rosario with a little more power and less hit.
He's now down to 100th in OBP in the Eastern league (127 qualified hitters)
His wRC+ nearly fully boosted by his HR's (tied for 59th)

they've been really short sighted not calling him. i dont think there's much to learn over 10 or 20 extra games, so if they think they are calling him up in the next few weeks they accomplished nothing by waiting except getting Dom back on another cold streak not playing every day. 1 or 2 home runs at the big league level in the last couple weeks may have made a difference in a game like yesterday's.
maybe they felt the extra week of games at 1b was important but no reason they couldn't have done that earlier. call the guy up already. yesterday they walked him to bring in the tying run with the bases loaded on 5 pitches.

prospects aren't finished products - you know i typically value the gimenez types move than the toolsy types, but mauricio isn't just raw tools, power is a key tool and it's showing up in games at a level that should be challenging for him. he's young for AA and he's going to be a 20/20 or maybe even a little better short stop and he's never really hit lower than .250. if he gets hot in the 2nd half a 30/30 season isn't impossible.
he's not my favorite type of hitter which is why i'd probably trade him before Baty, Vientos, and possibly even Ramirez but i see it as factual that he has very good raw tools showing up in games. the unknown is the degree he puts it together but he still has time and if he sticks at a premium position then his offense doesn't need to be much better than league average to hold value.
I wonder what the clubhouse vibe is on Dom Smith right now. He just doesnt seem like part of the click. Seems almost on an island.

if we are in tune to what a prospect at AAA is doing you can bet the guys who play the same position inside the organization know exactly what he's doing. it's their job. wouldn't shock me if that's partially why some are struggling/pressing and have been for the past month or so since promotion watch began.
