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
Quote:
Nimmo: age 20 single A: 110 games, 24 XBH, 10 SBs, 71 walks, 131 K, OPS of .756
Morabito last season and thus far this year: 78 games, 19 XBH, 32 SB, 54 walks, 71 K, OPS of .828 last year and 1.050 this year
You're comparing the wrong seasons, Morabito is 21 this season (21 next week). Nimmo at 21 hit 10 homers, 9 triples, 21 doubles. There is a reason Nimmo was a top prospect and pipeline has Morabito #26 and BA doesn't even have him top 30 and it's not because they see him having "Nimmo esque" realistic upside.
Nimmo started in rookie ball in 2011 at 18. Played 69 games in A- at 19. So, he had 87 games by his age 20 A season I talked about.
Morabito had 6 games in his age 19 season. I am looking at his next season of 57 games and the start of this season.
The stats I am looking at for Morabito are after he had played 6 games vs. Nimmo after he had played 69 games. Nimmo was younger than Morabito when drafted.
What prevails? The age or experience? I don't know, but they'd come close enough to me to offset each other and offer a roughly fair comparison.
Morabito's BABIP leads the league and his GB% is tied for 3rd, His LD% aka what you want to see from hitters is 17%, tied for 60th and again he's older for the league.
17 walks in 10.1 innings last year. Was it in a game? If so, I'd love to see that stat line.
As always, thanks for all the work you do. I love it. Even if not having time to comment, I am always checking out the threads (even if reading 2-3 days of stuff at a time). You are a treasure for Mets fans on this site

Gotcha. Agree there. I am very impressed with Morabito after his disastrous (small sample size) rookie ball appearance after he was drafted. I agree he needs improvement on his swing, or else he will be looking as a career as a MLB backup (if that). That said, the OBP ability and speed combo is very nice.

DSL Preseason which is why the suspended Anthony Baptist is allowed to play. I'm not really clear why (Larez also suspended and eligible to play). Yovanny Rodriguez is the guy to really circle, I don't want to look foolish if he sucks but *2* different people said the Mets thought he had more upside than Francisco Alvarez. One called him a "Monster".
Quote:
has a 64.5% ground ball rate, and a .500 BABIP. They are MAJOR red flag numbers when talking about projection. Nimmo's career GB% is 45% for comparisons sake.

No disagreement there. They say he has "legit" 70 speed. He might be the 2nd fastest runner in the organization. Omar De Los Santos has 80 speed but isn't very good at anything else.
They absolutely LOVE him. I haven't heard this much buzz around a Mets IFA in years. Granted, this is coming from the Mets side so sure, grain of salt but I've been lucky enough to speak to those who would know for a good 4-5 signing periods now and nobody has been on the level of Rodriguez. In no way am I saying "he's better than Alvarez" or even will be. Maybe he's a complete bust, but they are over the moon with his pure talent.
Move him up to Bing, and give him a fresh start on this season.
He allowed an unearned run

Tong gets out of the jam. 4 innings 2 hits 0 runs 3 walks 6 k's, 72 pitches/50 strikes. His scoreless innings streak now stands at 22.2. Let's see if he comes out for the 5th @BKCyclones
He allowed an unearned run
His era still stands at 0.00

Good point about the ballpark.
Dan - Question for ya: Do you have any idea when or if the Mets promote Big Red?

thinks the Mets should have placed Clifford in Bing and still does.

Andrew Christie suggested before the season they were considering placing him there so who knows? He has 1 single HR and slugging sub .400, he's walking a ton, striking out at a high but acceptable rate but showing very, very little power. Not sure what being in BK does for him at this poit.
Tong is done, replaced by Dakota Hawkins.
Coming into today Somebody get the Cyclones some offensive help! 11/12 in runs, tied for 10th in HR's, 9th in average, 9th in OPS. They have 1 hit so far.

Jesus Baez has displayed some very encouraging tendencies in Single-A thus far
He is just 19 and has showcased elite power for his age as well as an advanced plate approach. His contact metrics are fantastic.
With a foundation like this, he will be a name to watch!
I saw Vasil's start and was happy for him, then went back to the struggling. Any word on what's going on with him? Scouting the box score, obviously it looks like control problems and getting hit hard. Not a good combo
Quote:
Vasil has been prone to "one bad inning" and that happened again today. Allows 5 hits on 5 runs in the 5th inning. Final line 4.1 innings 5 hits 5 runs 1 walk 5 k's #Mets

Lacks an out pitch and his command isn't good enough to nibble. Why he often falls apart after a few innings, your guess is as good as mine. But his era is now near 11.
