@Mets 6th round pick @tystuart19 has been assigned to the FCL Mets #Mets
AAA TBD
AA TBD
A+ Askew
AAA
Alvarez 0-3, BB, 3 k's, passed ball (Francisco Alvarez now has more passed balls in Syracuse (5) in 19 games (18 starts) than James McCann/Tomas Nido have combined (3) over 103 games #Mets )
Vientos 1-3, BB
Baty 2-3, BB, K
Gore 1-4, 2 k's (far from a prospect but look for him to be added to the 40 man which would allow him to be eligible for the playoffs, a real weapon off the bench)
Peterson 2 innings 5 hits 4 runs 0 walks 1 k
AA
Young 1-2, HR, 2 BB, K (Kind of forgotten after his surprisingly hot start with Syracuse, @RumblePoniesBB 2b Wyatt Young is quietly having a nice season in AA. 97 wRC+, 10.9% BB rate, a little more pop than expected (19 extra base hits .120 ISO). He remains a potential big league utility player #Mets )
Mauricio 0-4, K
McIIwain 0-4
Nathan Lavender hasn't been quite as good as his 1.00 (yes 1.00) era would suggest (3.02 FIP) but he's also carrying a strong 12.75 K/9 (too many walks though, 5.25/9) #Mets
Hartwig 2 innings 2 hits 0 runs 0 walks 2 k's (he's been tremendous)
Nunez 2 innings 6 hits 2 runs 1 walk 5 k's (Dedniel Nunez 3.39 FIP, 12.86 K/9, solid first year back from TJ... will he be sniped a second time in the Rule 5 without ever throwing a big league pitch for @mets
? )
BK
Consuegra 2-5, K
Hamel 5 innings 3 hits 1 run 0 walks 4 k's (time to promote)
Lavender 2 innings 1 hit 0 runs 2 walks 2 k's (Nathan Lavender hasn't been quite as good as his 1.00 (yes 1.00) era would suggest (3.02 FIP) but he's also carrying a strong 12.75 K/9 (too many walks though, 5.25/9) #Mets
St. Lucie
ODLS 1-3,2B BB, SB, 2 k's (58 steals, he's now played 128 games in St. Lucie and is almost a year older than the league average player, time to give him a shot in BK)
Tilien 0-4
Gomez 2.2 innings 3 hits 2 runs 1 walk 2 k's
Pretty interesting
If either of Baty or Alvarez were plus defenders, my guess is they would be up with Mets..
With that said..pretty interesting that none of Alvarez, Baty, Vientos, Mauricio are expected to be plus gloves..
What's the read on Ramirez?
Neither are on the 40 man but both needed to be added after the season so it's not a major consideration. Vientos and Mauricio are already on the 40 man, but Mauricio isn't coming up under any normal circumstance.

But kind of a meh day overall. Dan I can’t remember are either Baty or alverez on 40 man? I wonder if there is an incentive to add folks to hedge against injuries in September/October. Not a consideration we have had since 16.

*need. Both NEED to be added.

Ramirez profiles as a potential average defender in CF, potentially plus if he moves to a corner. Question is how much he fills out (even looking at him, you see he could easily put on 20+ pounds).

I agree with this take 100%. If Baty/Alvarez were average or better defenders right now they would be up by now.
Candidates to be booted off the 40 man:
Not a lot of obvious candidates to boot off the 40 man in season, other than Sam Clay. Michael Perez could be for Alvarez, but depends on their preference on who to call up if injury strikes the catchers.

They almost have to add Gore. Huge spot late in a game, Vogey or Ruf get on... to not have a legit PR option when you have Gore as an option would be a major mistake.
Naquin/Canha/Vogelbach/Nido/McCann/Ruf/Guillorme career have...
62 steals between them
Would not worry about that at all..
Who knows what he was working on...not to mention lack of adrenaline in AAA v MLB for a guy who has flat out proven he is a MLB pitcher this year
Quote:
he is likely to be on the postseason roster, particularly with Jankowski gone. Mets have no little to no speed on the bench. I would put him on the postseason roster. A reliever will be left off, as they will only have a 4 man rotation anyway.

Exactly. That's what Gore is signed for. I'd be shocked if he wasn't on the postseason roster. And there's no reason not to, as he just takes the spot of the reliever who is bumped for the 5th starter who is moved to the bullpen. As the roster stands now, it just means Medina is likely left off the postseason roster.
I think he is probably a bit frustrated being demoted after a successful major league stint.
I think it is relatively meaningless.
Thats why I keep saying if you trade one, it should be Peterson and keep Megill
Stuart is 6’9
Love it. Very impressive so far.
I wonder if they're trying to teach the "one knee in the dirt" catching style in AAA ?? Sometimes the big, bulky catchers can't move for wild pitches / passed balls.
I'm not a fan of that one knee style. A low target is one thing....but one knee down is quite another matter.
First game he DH’ed he’s played SS the last 2. No current plays for him to play any OF this season but that could of course change

no 2B, correct?

Very interesting. Thanks
Have you bought a Jett jersey yet Dan?

@jettwilliams04 now 2-3 with *3* steals and an rbi #Mets

You heard it hear first. As a lot of Mets fans are Jets fans, we will hear J-E-T-T, Jett Jett Jett chants if and when he makes the Mets
No Dykstra. Is he on bad terms with the Mets? I know he hates Darling, and has had his issue (who hasn't on here) but I couldn't come up with many more Mets I'd expect to see on here that are not.
Excited to see Pat Mahomes and Turk Wendell on the list, a couple of my favorite pitchers.
Probably could list a bunch of guys who are similarly absent, but John Olerud and Rey Ordonez come to mind if they want to recreate the greatest defensive infield of all time..
I would have liked to see Bobby Bo on there too since he was my childhood favorite but I get why he's not there
Lo Duca
Beltran
I bet Dickey could still throw a good knuckler

Every jersey/shirt I buy ends up being bad luck
Porzingis, Saquon Barkley, deGrom (before he got hurt), Lindor (before last season), I want a Diaz shirt bad but I don't want to ruin the season lol

Dykstra is on bad terms and he claims he's going to show up and have a "party" in the parking lot with Strawberry and Gooden (they have no suggested anything of the sort FWIW)
TBH... as much as I'd love to see Koo/Shinjo/Cespedes at Old Timer's Day, and how strongly I hope they can mend things with @carlosbeltran15
, of all @mets
players from my years watching... Rick Reed remains the most underrated/forgotten player
Good call
Good call
2nd this. And no David Wright or Koosman. Obviously health plays a role for the older players in not being able to attend
Its a really good list representing all of the eras, even the bad eras (Steve Henderson, Maz, Stearns, Skip Lockwood, early 60s guys)
No Joel Youngblood, Doug Flynn, Hubie Brooks, Craig Swan, Pete Falcone

Turk Wendell is a Quinnipiac alum (my alma mater) he was gone just before I got there, but still a legend (especially with the baseball players).

For those who are curious: Yoenis Cespedes seems to have moved from a “yes” to a “TBD.” He is invited and they’re trying to work on logistics, according to a Mets official, so he still might be there.
Wait, which Bobby Jones? lol. I thought it was hilarious when the Mets had two Bobby Jones on the team both same time and both pitchers - even being different races and different handed pitchers.

A couple of Old Timers’ Day questions I will address here.
There were players uninvited - “fewer than five” according to a Mets official - because of vaccination status.
David Wright indicated in spring training he wouldn’t be attending because of his schedule.

Maybe the "no vaxx cant attend" rule was used to keep Dykstra out - would guess he isnt vaxxed
