could be Alcantara, Perez, and Luzardo. Just further cements my belief on building a team. Premium picks for position players. Pitching a numbers game.
"In November 2021, the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, the minor league affiliate of the New York Mets, and the city of Binghamton announced a 23-year lease extension for Mirabito Stadium through 2045. The lease includes $3.1 million in public funding for upgrades to the stadium, such as a new drainage system and storage tanks under the parking lot.

There you go good find! So yeah hardly means anything at a level we'll care about haha.
I'm in central Jersey so I got lucky when the Yanks moved their AA fro Trenton to Somerset as it's easier for me to go watch games there.
▪️Kodai Senga (shoulder capsule strain) threw an up-down bullpen yesterday and is scheduled to face hitters for the first time on Monday.
▪️Tylor Megill (shoulder strain) is due to begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with two innings at Brooklyn.
I don't wanna see Megill back with the big team again this season unless absolutely necessary. Butto has earned his spot in the rotation. Are they sending Megill back to Syracuse after his rehab assignment in anyone's opinion?

did you see the TJ thread on Tong yesterday? it may have been in someones replies bc im having trouble finding but basically said he thinks wong is on track to be a top 100 prospect this year.
Did Scott really give up another first inning hr ?
It’s almost unbelievable at this point. Guy is untouchable in every other inning.
Nice seeing Tidewell dominate as well.
If going into season you said system would look great with pitching but horrible with hitting you would think they were insane. Yet that is where we are. Hopefully some of these guys, at least the ones not hurt, can turn it around. These injuries though are really going to hurt Gilbert and Williams from a timing standpoint.

I did and Eli Ben-Porat (who contributes to BA) absolutely LOVES him (though he acknowledges his love involves his projection that he gains more velocity)
But this obviously sounds more ominous. Hope the kid is well long term regardless.
Unlike the Tong/Gerber news which I can 100% say is accurate, the Williams "news" comes from somebody who acknowledges he hasn't heard the actual injury but that it would be "extended" stay on the IL. He gave an actual estimate but I don't want to suggest something is true until we hear more.

id still like to see him get a shot at some point. i know he isn't mcneil defensively, but i could see him having a sneaky chance to hit in mlb. he's turning 27 so i guess he's officially a nonprospect now but if there's a guy in the org who has a surprising august like DJ last year, id guess it's him.
acknowledges he doesn't have any scouting background at all. He's a data forward baseball writer anyway...
"The cutter/slider has ideal velocity at 86 mph, and is the type of pitch that usually pairs very well with an elite riding fastball. It’s currently mowing hitters down with a 62% whiff rate and 32.5% swinging strike rate, and given the quality of the fastball, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it continue to perform really well as he moves up. It’s somewhat concerning that he doesn’t have the confidence to throw it to lefties, where he prefers to throw the curve and change.
This is the Jared Jones / Spencer Strider template. In my opinion, Tong is the fourth-best pitching prospect in all of the minor leagues right now."

Wow that is really high praise. I need to see more to even think he's at the top 40 right now.
? is that why they won't sign Alvarez to an extension?
He's a catcher yes, but no. He's 17 and likely 4-5 years away if they are lucky. LAD routinely adds top C's despite having Will Smith and Cartaya. They used their top pick in 2022 on Dalton Rushing.

Kodai Senga (strained shoulder capsule) faced batters today for the first time since February. He says he'll need to do so twice more before a rehab assignment.
"As long as things keep going well, I think I'll be back right around [May 27]," Senga said through an interpreter.
second source says Jett Williams will indeed hit the IL "soon" but doesn't think it's a major injury aka won't miss "months". I guess we shall see.

For those wondering about Mets prospect Jett Williams, who hasn't appeared in a game since April 21: he's dealing with a bit of right wrist soreness. Doesn't seem to be a serious issue.

Not sure it matters or not but Mayer tweeted that Binghamton is being bought by a company that owns other minor league teams. Not sure which ones.
Also Jesus Luzardo with elbow discomfort now for Miami. Yikes.
Zero on field difference but expect a name change.
