- Parada expected to debut this week

-Only one draftee for the Mets has appeared in a game (Paul Gervase who struck out 2 over 1 perfect inning)
AAA Syracuse scored 18 runs and Alvarez "only" had 1 hit and a walk
Alvarez 1-5, BB, 2 k's
Dom 3-5
Lee 1-4, 2B, BB, K
AA
Baty 2-3, HR, 2 walks
Mauricio 1-5, HR, K
McIIwain 1-4

St Lucie
Lugo 2-4 (promoted post game)
Tilien 0-3, BB, K
Scott 3 innings 2 hits 0 runs 0 walks 3 k's (Maybe the most underrated P performer in the system this season)
Dominguez 0-3, SB, 3 k's
Ziegler pitched .2 of an inning this week after returning from biceps tendonitis (pulled due to pitches, 25 in one inning)
Vientos is believed to have tested positive for Covid but that hasn't been confirmed.
Almost assuredly starting 3b. Vientos is no longer a 3b except in a pinch
@mets, but ex-@mets prospect Justin Dunn the scheduled starter for @redstonight

will be interesting where they play him at Syracuse

Yeah, I'm curious if they move him around at all
They play Baty 1 game per week in the OF, that was supposed to be the play for Vientos but they reversed course. I assume that plan will continue.
Quote:
Baty had 67 starts in 3B and 9 in LF. I wonder if that continues, or just strictly 3B

Gotcha

Who are the 5 ahead? I don't subscribe.
Preseason Value - $196 million (18th)
It's important to note that the very top prospects in baseball are valued at what seems on its face to be a wild amount of money, but the track record justifies it. Francisco Alvarez is now the top prospect in the game at a value of $112 million and if he were to graduate from prospect status tomorrow, the Mets would fall from fifth to 21st.
With a solid draft class (C Kevin Parada, SS Jett Williams, RHP Blade Tidwell, 2B Nick Morabito), no notable graduations, no big trades that sent prospects out (call it the Pete Crow-Armstrong cooling effect), and Alvarez moving from ninth to first (appreciating $57 million in the process) in the Top 100, that makes a solid recipe for an appreciating farm system. OF Alex Ramirez is the other notable riser.
Good to see Fanas back!!
Carroll must be in there as well. Chourio and de la Cruz biggest risers I'd imagine.
Interesting Gunnar over Carroll. Orioles are stacked. 3 top 5 prospects within a calendar year and then the a top 5 draft pick. They are setting themselves up for an Astros like run.

Kevin Parada will debut with the St Lucie Mets in the near future, per source. The 11th overall selection skips the FCL and heads straight to full-season hall.

No real rush but Christian Scott should be promoted relatively soon as well 2.80 FIP, 12.84 K/9, turned 23 in June. He's likely ready for BK #Mets"
What would be parada eta?
Figuring he would be in AA ball sometime next yr so possibly mid 2024?
Atencio 2 innings 2 hits 0 runs 0 walks 3 k's

We'll see how he looks behind the plate, how his pitch calling/framing develops, how open they really are to him seeing time at other (new positions). Barring something shocking you're looking at second half 2024 as a realistic era sight unseen, and he should either open in AA next season, or a quick shuttle from BK to AA.
Garrido done for the day. I'd put a star next to his name, he's one to follow next season in FCL, if not sooner (promotion)
Joe Joe 2 innings 1 hit 0 runs 0 walks 3 k's, that's a strong pro debut #Mets
2 more hits for KV (including a 2b). .829 OPS in July, .821 OPS in August coming into today. Now has a 6-game-hitting streak, hits in 13 of his last 14 games played and 6 multi-hit games since 7/23. Ruben Tejada comps

It’s different. It’s “valuation” which assigns $ value projections.
Baltimore #1, Cleveland Pittsburgh Cubs Rays their top 5
A walk and the RBI single so far?

Yup. Not to be outdone, Rhlyan Thomas collects his first professional hit as well, Estep a walk and a single in his first game, KV with *3* hits… kid is absolutely on fire . @mets reportedly very high on him despite “non sexy” tools #Met
Colina 3 innings 1 hit 0 runs 0 walks 3 k's, Luis Rodriguez 1 perfect 1 K. The *other* Luis Rodriguez is one of 4 intriguing

Nice! I go way back too. I must admit to something: I turned off the TV when Gam 6 of the 86 WS was on and the Mets were down to their last out. My 9-year old brain and heart couldn't bear to see that team lose after the season they had. Boy did I learn a lesson from that, lol!
P.S. My buddy Giovanni was in the "LET'S GO METS!" video from '86 (he's the Dominican kid in glasses on the far right at the 55 second mark).

lol. I'll tell what: Gid got me two years later in Game 4of the '88 NLCS @ Shea when Scioscia hit that Home Run offa Doc cuz Dumbass Davey left him in the game too long in the 9th despite having Lights Out Randy Myers in the Bullpen. 34 years later and I still haven't recovered from that shit!
I’m low on Alvarez relative to the population. He has a 37% Z minus O swing rate in Triple-A but has managed to run a high walk rate which is where almost all of his run production has come from. Doesn’t look sustainable. Has .195 xBA in Triple-A, but the raw power is where he’s getting most of his love as he hits the ball hard; has a 90th EV > 105 mph and a Max > 110 mph. His power is plus, he lifts with authority and could hit 25–30 HR, if he doesn’t hit for power though it’ll be a rough offensive profile. He’s an average reciever with a below-average arm, I think he’ll split time at C and 1B and sit right around a 105 wRC+ for the majority of his career with peaks around 115. It all hinges on him hitting for power.
22. Brett Baty, 3B, Mets
Baty has improved a lot in his extended time in Binghamton. His power is real and could produce upwards of 25 in the MLB. He’s making plenty of contact in the zone and has around average swing decisions. He’s improved in the field which is a big development for him as he won’t have to move over to 1B. I think he can hold his own in LF and at third. His contact quality is elite and he’s posted a Max EV above 114 mph.
64. Kevin Parada, C, Mets
Parada was 6th overall on my ’22 board. He’s a catcher in a world where we’re expecting robot umps, making his position an offensive one. But because the entire profile revolves around the offensive tools, it probably doesn’t affect him as much as his peers. His arm is below-average, and he’s a below-average receiver. Parada’s approach is aggressive, as a result he swings at a lot of good pitches, as well as some of the bad ones. The positive is that his bat-to-ball skills allow for some decision-making error, and he can get away with poor swings. His batted ball numbers are good and he’s exceptionally good at creating the ideal attack angles to match pitches in order to connect with the bottom portion of the ball. It’s a high-end offensive profile at C/1B/LF.
97. Alex Ramirez, OF, Mets
Ramirez is just 19 and has a 67% Z minus O swing rate in High-A. It hasn’t translated into walks just yet, but I think that’ll come over time. He’s a CF with some speed and above-average power. Contact quality in High-A has been much better than in Low-A. Plenty of upside on the offensive side.
