Marco Vargas is injured, unclear if it's the same issue that has limited him to 3 games and a previous IL stint
-Infielder/centerfielder Jett Williams, the Mets’ top prospect, went on the seven-day injured list with Double-A Binghamton because of a right wrist issue.
After he jammed it, sat out for a week and didn’t feel well enough to play, the Mets opted to officially sideline him. He might get a cortisone injection, and the Mets are inclined to take his return very slowly, given his importance to the organization.
Before getting hurt, Williams was off to a slow start at the plate, batting .180 with a .668 OPS. He also played several games at second base, his first professional exposure to that position, his potential eventual defensive home.
Saul Garcia (received a nice report from @BaseballAmerica before the season) has been activated from the 7 day IL. Garcia has stuck out 7 over 3.2 innings of work for @stluciemets. He figures to join @BKCyclones shortly

Likes playing at Jersey shore stadium.
Love that Lakewood Blue Claws ballpark !!
I worked there one summer in Stadium Ops -- most fun job ever !! Would have worked there for free.
That's his final line.

The first part because J-Rod hit a HR as well in this game?

Everything you can do, I can do better... A.J. Ewing with a 1st inning HR of his own (his 5th) he's now homered in 3 straight games and now leads the FCL in HR's #Mets

Yup. 1-2 with a HR and a BB. THis was my original post which I of course never sent
"Jeremy Rodriguez with his 1st inning HR now has a .962 OPS/.364 BA good for 12th in OPS 6th in average. He won't be 18 until July"
Woo-Suk Go for Jorge-Suck Lopez

Woo-Suk Go already DFA'ed by Miami. Numbers in AA/AAA weren't bad, how about Lopez back to Miami for Go?

Mets stole this kid from Zona. What were the D-bags thinking?

They're certainly not lacking in drama on it...

parada in 40 games has 13 xbh and 25 rbis. also having contact issues but that also paces to 50+ xbh over a full year, along with 100 rbis. his rc is 90 despite presently hitting .213. iso up to .161.
both are drawing walks while k'ing a ton, and interestingly both are putting the ball in the air a lot (both have very low ground ball rates). so their issues seem squarely to be contact frequency, though when they make contact they are each at least flashing the pop that got people excited in the first place. so i would assume the EV is solid/good for both and if they can make more frequent contact they will also make more XBH.

2023 4th round pick Austin Troesser is out with an elbow issue. Troesser has posted an outstanding 13.1 K/9 in 2024 #Mets
@FCLMets
. Absurd 2023 numbers…14 games 12.06 era, 15.2 innings *33* k’s *28* walks
Passan on the Scott decision: "He is expected to return to the big leagues soon, as the stint in the minor leagues aligns with an upcoming stretch in which the Mets have extra days off due to their games in London and also helps keep Scott's season-long innings total in check"
I appreciate you doing a 'deep dive' on the Bing Mets. Where has Clifford been playing ? OF or 1B ? Keep us posted on his progress at the plate.
I've been checking in to the SYR Mets lately. They're honestly more fun than the big club. I check the box scores and sometimes listen the the radio play-by-play if I'm doing something on the PC.
Vasil got hit hard last night and he's having a rough couple of weeks at AAA.
Acuna had a nice game on Wednesday night, both at the plate and at second base (made a diving catch of a liner to stop a BUF rally).
Acuna bats lead-off, and following him in the order are Rhylan Thomas, Rylan Bannon, Jake Ritter and Trayce Thompson. That's a pretty good first five in the order.
i think both fans and "industry" people overrate walks. for more than a decade it seems the consensus has been walks = hits but they dont. if a guy is on 3rd and you walk he doesnt score.
vogelbach was the living embodiment of how walks can skew numbers in a meaningless way. unless bases were loaded or down by 2 in 9th with 2 outs, a vogelbach walk was as useless as it gets since it would take 3 singles or 2 xbh to score him from 1st.
100%. that's why i've always kind of been more bullish on vientos/mauricio types than the prospect writers who thought they had "fatal" flaws in their approach. both always hit for pretty good averages. every young player is going to have to make approach adjustments and most guys tend to get more patient as they get older throughout their careers.
neither was ever going to be Nimmo, but im far less worried about guys who walk less than average but make contact more than average like they were vs the opposite guys who make contact less than average but walk more (like Clifford/Parada).
