Not announced in the previous tweet from the FCL team but @mets have assigned 2023 14th round pick John Valle to @FCLMets. Valle immediately was placed on the full-season IL per his MILB page
very solid last 3 months. the 9, 9, 7 column is walks and the 7, 11, 16 column is the k's, so he's added power this month at the expense of some k's (and 2bs).
0 reason to not call him up, he's rule 5 eligible. Why lose him (or risk losing him) without giving him a look? If he comes up and stinks then what was lost exactly? It's not like "rushing" up a core piece.
exactly, he's also always been considered a good bat control guy which would also seemingly fit with the direction they like. 19% k rate, 12% walk rate this year.
Branny De Oleo 1-1, Justin Ramirez 1-1 (3B) (August OPS coming into today 1.035 over 40 ab's), Daiverson Gutierrez 1-1 (terrible numbers, but I still expect him with the FCL team to open 2024)
I don't personally believe the main reason Mauricio remains in AAA is the PPI program, *but* if you do (or it is) then we are 2 days away from 8/19 (where it comes a non-issue) assuming he doesn't receive 130 ab's the rest of the way
has struggled post trade (no, I'm not concerned). He, Williams and Gilbert sure seem to fall into the "new model" of player that teams are looking for. Speed, some pop, athletic, rangy. Clifford less so, but sluggers will always have value.
.190 babip for acuna post trade. only 1 xbh so probably also some underlying bad contact going on, love seeing that his bb/k rates are steady even when he's not hitting the ball well though. both actually slightly better than pre-trade.
really couldnt agree with him more. i hadnt realized fangraphs has a WPA leaderboard. marte was so far and away the worst player on the mets this year it's crazy.
Rough first for Morris and the FCL Mets Vargas throwing error, SB, fly out, wild pitch, double @FCLMets trail 1-0, runner on 2b, 1 down. Their magic number is 1
Morris battles back coaxing a ground out and a fly out stranding the runner on 2b. @FCLMets trail 1-0 after 1. Morris 1 inning 1 hit 0 er 0 walks 0 k's
Ronald Hernandez continues to do his best Jett Williams impression. Walked again. Hernandez has now walked 14 times over 25 ab's since joining @mets and 46 times over 129 ab's total vs. only 33 k's

I would have to go with neither. Peterson has great stuff, but you gotta throw strikes. 91 pitches into the 4th inning v a weak Pitt lineup? That’s not going to cut it.
Not to belabor the point but Ronald Hernandez came into today leading the FCL in BB% (25.2%) and had a 31.2% BB rate over his first 11 games as a Met, he's now walked 2 more times already today
Cristofer Gomez has now pitched 39 innings in his professional career and allowed 3 er... 3. Taken the mound 25 times, 3 times runs have scored. Marlins lead 4-3 after 3
if Ronald Acuna gets 13 HR's the rest of the way he's in the 40/40 club. He would need a hot stretch to get there.
If he gets just 8 HR's and 20 SB's he will be the inaugural member of the 35/75 club. he would need to increase his SB pace a little.
just an insane year.
discounting Ohtani due to the complexity and uniqueness of being a pitcher and a hitter is Acuna the best player in baseball right now? I think so (by a lot right now)

Acuna is the best non-Ohtani player in baseball. He's not a particularly good fielder but he's a dominant offensive force.
to my head I'd probably go Ohtani, Acuna, Betts as the top 3 players in baseball if you wanted to argue Judge over Betts I get it. Freeman would probably be next for me after those 2.

Not putting him in those guys' class yet, but Astros' Kyle Tucker is having an unreal season. Has a good chance at a 30-30 season with over a 100 RBI and currently batting .297.
A guy who could realistically end up in that conversation in the next couple of years is Elly De La Cruz. Has to work on his K-rate and get that average up, but he has all the tools and such an exciting player to watch. Likewise is Oneil Cruz whenever he can get back on the field.
it seems like he's dramatically outperforming the mets 3 ifa bonus babies from last year or is that a misread?
Juan has been terrible, Fanas mediocre and 2023's big name Daiverson Gutierrez has also been awful. Larez was good but then got hurt, Baptist is having a nice season. Long story short, yes.
9-7 following yet another bases loaded HBP. We head to the 9th. A combined 16 runs, on 15 hits, 18 walks, 3 HBP, 3 wild pitches @FCLMets clinch the division with a win
The bad- Jesus Baez with 2 errors, the good Jesus Baez with a hit,3 walks and a SB today. I think he's clearly the best prospect out of the "bigger bonus" 2022 group (Juan, Fanas etc) #Mets
Estarling Mercado (a name I honestly don't recall ever seeing, who somehow skipped the DSL and with 10 career AB's with a pinch hit rbi single). Mets up 11-7 #Mets
We head to the bottom of the 9th with the score 11-7 @FCLMets 3 outs from a division title. Jonaiker Palacios remains in the game to try and close it out
No clue what the actual injury is, but yes Landon Marceaux has joined Coleman Crow (both in the Escobar trade) on the 60-day IL. Crow as was reported last week had TJ earlier this summer.
And Cortes go back to back and Jarvis 4.1 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
if they dont give cortes a chance it's going to be really aggravating. just once can they call a guy up in the midst of a hot streak, and do the obvious thing? ortega can sit on the bench for a few games. or arauz. or mendick. or dj.
cortes homer was 103 mph - baty has a 112mph groundout
Tyler Thomas has been quite the pickup. After being released by the Cubs
@mets
signed him to a minor league deal. 15 appearances 2.01 era, 22.1 innings 30 k’s

Nope. It's Abraham Almonte

to the IL, call up Cortes!
Nope. It's Abraham Almonte
i mean he's 34yo and struck out 7x in 11 at bats on his last call up. it's a no brainer!

Geez just get Cortes up here already. There's no point in seeing Almonte over him. Bring Ritter up also who cares.
