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
last year the pitching was lagging except maybe vasil who had the good year, this year all the pitching except vasil is surging.
last year it was jett and mauricio, then houck was an exciting pick who fell, acuna, gilbert, clifford. this year 2 of them are hurt and the other 4 have been quiet so far. vargas also hasnt played much, fcl (jrod) hasnt started yet.
so other than scott there's not much good that's happened yet on the field with the consensus top 10 yet the system feels like it's still surging forward bc of tong, baez, scott, tidwell, etc.
vientos is our constant.

i wish we could get exit velo info on parada. i think i asked tj but he said he didnt have AA. the k rate/walk rate improvement is a positive and the babip is low, but my guess is the exit velo is bad since there's no power.
if the exit velo is good it could be some bad luck, but if there's no power nothing else really matters for him.
Eppler's first round picks seem like they were big names who other teams possibly passed on for good reasons (parada, houck). thankfully jett worked out.

That explains that
Indeed. RHP Justin Jarvis assigned to Syracuse Mets from Binghamton Rumble Ponies #Mets
Did AJ Ewing play the OF last year at all? They have him there now along with Rosa, Juan, and Fanas. IF should be interesting with Rodriguez, Sarmiento, and De Oleo. Most of the pitchers are unknown to me but Dan will have it covered I'm sure.

He did. Played 3 of his 7 games in the OF. I suspect he plays multiple positions again this year. His bat is what will dictate his career ala Daniel Murphy (though Murphy was beast level college hitter whereas Ewing is a HS pick so who knows? Fun team
Peterson 3 innings 1 hit 0 runs 0 walks 4 k's
Baez 1-2 (love this guy)
Suero SB
Acuna has been awful 0-3, K
Matt Allan was taking it slow but supposed to be throwing this month but haven't heard anything.

My complete guess is we hear Matt Allan is going to retire but yeah in March DiComo reported he hoped to begin throwing in May, well it's May. Safe to say if he doesn't begin throwing in May it's not a great sign. He had TJ January 2023, so coming up 17 months ago

Gilbert out with hamstring. Just a horrible showing thus far.They Mets may have gotten very little for Verlander and Sherzer, especially considering that they are picking up their salaries.
did you read the Sammon article from a couple days ago on their pitching dev changes? excellent/fascinating quotes from tramuta et al.
Mets hope Christian Scott’s debut signals start of pitching development - ( New Window )
Stud. I always carried the flag for him and then seeing him in spring breakout had me excited.
McLean 5 scoreless 5 k’s

Those players that came over in the Scherz-lander trades were highly rated prospects in the Rangers and Astros farms. They have regressed in our system. Clifford was doing well at the High A level in Texas, then he gets to Brooklyn and suddenly can't hit.
Parada was a Top Draft Pick the Mets. He doesn't seem to be a viable defensive Catcher the way the game is played these days. It's affecting his hitting.
I want this team to develop their hitting prospects.
McLean 5 scoreless 5 k’s
That pitching! I love it. Between Scott, Tidwell, Sproat, Tong, McLean, Hamel, Stuart, Ziegler, Suarez, etc., they have some numbers

Hard Luck Mark got hit by a pitch when he went back to SYR. He's in the lineup today playing 3B, but K'd his first AB.
Acuna, playing CF and batting leadoff, beat out an infield hit. His speed on display, he then spoiled a DP beating the throw to second base. Two men on, nobody out. Vientos strikes out.
Hartwig's in now, gave up a long 2 RBI single to Blankenhorn who is killing SYR today.
Nice!!
Already have Cyclones tickets for later this month! I don't generally go in April (or even to Mets games) but before promoting Morabito/Suero that lineup was ROUGH. Couldn't have been much fun for fans.
