Kevin Parada will be making his professional debut for the FCL Mets on Friday, per source.
Hopefully the Mets hitters give him a rude welcome

Spoke to a scout today about Baty: "He's got a great bat. The bat will play (in majors). Defensively I compare him to (Alec) Bohm. He'll have growing pains. The ball gets on him quickly sometimes. But he's got ability. I don't think he'd embarrass them if they brought him up."
-The Mets view Vientos as a 1b/DH and was not strongly considered
-They felt versatility to play up the middle was important
The problem, and the difference, is that the Braves rookie callups can play defense while the Mets rookie callups cant
And I posted the stark differences between Conforto's A/AA numbers in 2015 vs Baty's numbers this season. There is no comparison between the two

i dont think theres been a bigger proponent of defense than me but this rationale ignores the reality that escobar hasnt been that great on D and that they need depth. they are 1 injury away from not having any choice in the matter.
in 2 weeks the rosters expand any way, why not bring someone up early just to have the playoff eligibility option? not sure if this is a buck loyalty to vets thing or eppler's just more conservative with promotions but i expect the alternatives to do just as well as blankenhorn/plummer/jdd/dom did when they chose them.
so they just need to be on the 40? doesn't matter if they get called up to the big leagues ahead of time?

Stark differences??? You posted walks, K's and plate appearances. LOL....
Let's look at some REAL stats: OBP, SLG and OPS, shall we?
Baty (A/AA) - 394/509/903
Conforto (A/AA) - 303/378/867
Baty's numbers are much better.
But sure, there is "no comparison"...
Quote:
players in the organization by 9/1 are eligible for the playoffs. If a player on the 40 man is injured, he can be replaced via waiver to the commissioners office.
so they just need to be on the 40? doesn't matter if they get called up to the big leagues ahead of time?
Any player in the organization (40 man or not) prior to 9/1 can be added. The Mets can replace say John Curtiss with Brett Baty.
2015 141 wRC+ in A+ with a .372 wOBA, 160 wRC+ in AA with a .406 wOBA
Brett Baty this season 159 wRC+ in AA with a .415 wOBA (so Brett Baty, adjusted for league has as close to identical numbers to Conforto's time in AA as humanly possible) the one caveat is that Baty played 40 games in AA in 2021 as well)
Quote:
A player who doesn't meet said criteria for postseason eligibility can still be added to a team's roster in the postseason via petition to the Commissioner's Office if the player was in the organization on Aug. 31 and is replacing someone who is on the injured list and has served the minimum amount of time required for activation. (For example, a player on the 10-day injured list who has been on it for at least 10 days, or a player who has been on the 60-day injured list for at least 60 days.) Players who are acquired in September or after are ineligible.
right but what's the rule without needing a waiver? i assume those are pro forma but just to take any unknown out, is it simply 40 man and you can be added to postseason roster?
Baty
1st in wOBA, 1st in wRC+, 1st in OPS
has connected on his first professional HR
Baty
1st in wOBA, 1st in wRC+, 1st in OPS
so it seems safe to say you don't agree with the non-bolb comments?
If we were talking about a good/great defensive 3b who wasn't hitting, I'd be annoyed but "get it". We are talking about a guy who hasn't it, who has been poor defensively AND is now hurt. Marrero is sub replacement level. This isn't "boring but solid", this is a horrendous zero with the bat.

Carlos Carrasco underwent an MRI this morning that revealed a low-grade left oblique strain. A typical timeline for an injury of this nature is 3-4 weeks. Additional updates will be provided as appropriate.

Buck has done a great job this year, but that decision ridiculously stupid.
No brainer to pick it up for $11 million extra. See, if the Coupons were still in charge, there would have been questions as to whether Carrasco was sent out to get injured and miss his innings limit...

see above man.
Strider went back out for 3 more innings, and he was fine, Carrasco could have just as easily been injured doing nothing.

And two years removed from TJS.
By that time, we should also have Drew smith back, as well as Tyler Megill. McNeil and Escobar are fighting through their ills and should hopefully be whole again very soon, with more of a concern placed on Escobar injury-wise than McNeil now.
Nido's gonna be out with Covid for a week or slightly more, so we're gonna need McCann to earn his pay now. If the Mets can just go 5-5 over this ten game road trip against the Braves, Phils, and Yankees, than I'll feel pretty good about things, especially in light of this spat of injuries.
and for a similar reason i actually don't even have much issue with Marrero, almost every team has a backup SS and most of them are no-hit auto outs.
my issue is not hedging at 3b because of Escobar's injury and performance level. if escobar is a valuable contributor isn't the smart move to get him healthy and not run him out there every day while he's not 100% (which they've acknowledged since he can't bat righty)?
the carrasco injury opens up a roster spot for them to bring up an extra 3b without impacting the BP. Even if it's just to give Escobar a few days off until he's 100% why not do it?
Link - ( New Window )
He is.
Should go with Baty.
Went to a Mets-Marlins game where JT Riddle got a 3 run HR. I am always good for that. The worst player for the Marlins seems to rake one when I go. Jeff Mathis hit one another game.
this seems last minute bc Escobar was in the lineup, so presumably he got scratched and Marrero was the only option.
which was the exact obvious potential likelihood we all first guessed saying they should prepare for by calling up a 3b.
they have the extra roster spot with Carrasco going to the IL.
they may get another one if Escobar goes to the IL (which he should have done a week ago).
so great news, lockers for both Gosuke and Travis!

Do you actually believe the shit you type?

Just because your pea brain doesn't have the capability to understand how he numbers are calculated/valued, doesn't mean they are "made up". LOL...
"Defense: 40/50
Lack of speed and athleticism gives him a limited defensive profile; shows subpar range in left field and doesn’t get consistently good jumps; makes the routine plays but also struggles at times controlling the speed of the game, which could be an issue in the minor leagues; candidate to move to first base as a professional, which could potentially accelerate his ascent up the ladder.
MLB Player Comparison: Josh Willingham"
Slow afoot, Conforto has limited outfield range. He is best suited to play left field, with average arm strength and average overall defensive ability. Conforto will likely reach most balls hit in his general area.
Here is Keith Law
"Defensively, however, Conforto is a bit of a mess. He doesn't get good jumps on the ball in the outfield, and when he does get to the ball he has a poor throwing arm that runners can take extra bases on. He more than likely is going to end up at first base, though it's unlikely he'll be anything more than average there, and the bat doesn't play as well."
Quote:
Nothing. Clearly Baty's defense is not very good and he strikes out a lot. Conforto's defense was solid and he struck out much less.

How did baseball survive all those years with these new numbers?

Try fucking Google, you may learn something?

Baty made 9 errors at 3B, and infield defense is much harder physically and especially mentally than outfield defense

Baseball did just fine. However - like most people in real life - teams can find ways to improve their product when they have access to additional information.
Not that I'd expect you to understand that...
Baty made 9 errors at 3B, and infield defense is much harder physically and especially mentally than outfield defense
"Errors" Nolan Arenado made 23 errors at AA in 2012 and is arguably the best defensive 3b of this generation (9 GG's) Baty will never be Nolan Arenado defensively but "errors" only tell you flubs on balls you get to, not range, not balls other defenders didn't even have a chance on.
Andrelton Simmons is a top 3-4 best defensive SS in the history of the sport, he had 28 errors as a 21 year old in A+.
LOL, so the Mets are the ONLY team that does situational hitting?
I'll ask again - do you actually believe the shit you type??
Walker and Peterson are now competing for that 4th starter spot with I guess Williams as more of a spot starter than long man? rosters are expanding soon so may as well stretch him as much as they can (even if they probably need to call up someone else to start on Saturday).
The Mets designated Nick Plummer for assignment.
which makes sense since he can play LF and they now have a bunch of OF options ahead of Plummer.

And when he got to the Mets he did fine. So he either learned at AA or Law and others were wrong, which happens all the time

And now you reach for crap that has nothing to do with anything because you have no argument left. Im sure Ozzie Smith made errors in the minors, too
You are the one who has posted all year about how Baty has been below average defensively
Wasn't very impressive defensively, especially on the backhand side. Decent arm.
But he didn't get drafted for his glove. He was drafted for his stick.
“I’m trying to convey to everyone here — and we’ve had mutual conversations about it — that I can play center field, I can do it well. There’s definitely some things to improve upon. If there’s one person that can make adjustments, I think it’s me. … I take it as a challenge to be a better defender and be a better leader out there.”
He only faced 7 batters, hitting 2 and walking 1, but was consistently up to 96-97 mph.
