Carlos Mendoza said it will be “at least four weeks” before Starling Marte is a player for the Mets.
Is he playing OF and 2B? Seems like a nice opening for him in RF in MLB right now.

3B last night. Hasn't played a single game in the OF in Syracuse this season.
He should be rarely playing at 3B for the rest of this year IMO. If Alonso walks, then he can start again there in the spring. Give him work at 2B and RF.
Does Gilbert play CF or is he a corner OF only? If they sign Soto, then you have Nimmo and Soto in the corners and the only opening is CF. Maybe Gilbert/Acuna/Baty/Mauricio could fight it out for the 2B/CF spots in 2025 (assuming Gilbert can play CF).
Baty clearly is too good for AAA, just needs a spot. 2b seems like a much bigger challenge for him than LF, where he's already banked 200+ innings.
going to have to start calling him Ac-june-a.
I understand the desire for prospects to check all boxes clearly, but after a solid month of may he's now on fire in June.
Gamel adds absolutely nothing. Sucks in OF, can't play 2b. I sort of get not wanting to ice Baty or Acuna, but especially in Acuna's case even a short trip up would be a good learning experience to prepare him for what to expect once the real call comes.

its so annoying that they dont database AAA statcast numbers. im pretty sure both acuna and baty would look really good.
looks like a better call up than gamel.
i just dont see what scenario they see themselves using gamel. you have DJ stewart to face righties. tyrone taylor has reverse splits. it's unlikely they are both playing at the same time.
a tough righty comes in late game to face bader or taylor, are you really putting gamel into that situation? no defense and 0 steals the last couple years so likely 0 base running value.

Ritter can play all over the field, came into today with an .878 OPS in June with 4 doubles and 7 homers. Why not give him a look?

I'm not saying Ritter is some stud but if they don't feel Baty or Acuna are ready, he's a guy who has hit 44 homers since OD 2023, strong walk rate, experience at 1b, 2b, 3b, OF (limited OF experience, 13 games) and quite frankly, what is there to lose?

this is why not calling people up when the chance is there (last year in cortes case) in favor of 30+ year old fodder like gamel drives me nuts.

With Marte on IL there is an almost every day corner OF spot open.
Baty has played 200 innings in a corner.
tell me how this isn't obvious?

My personal opinion is they do not view Cortes as a viable big league option. He's been placed on the development list 3 times this season and that's usually reserved for players who they don't care about playing or sitting for a while.
Kellon Lindsey, CF, Hardee Senior HS (FL) – Florida commit
Lindsey ran the fastest 30-yard dash at the Combine in his two attempts, at an ice cold 3.53 and 3.55 seconds; it looked like he teleported from one end of the stanchions to the other. Clemson’s Will Taylor and West Virginia commit Griffin Burkholder had the next fastest couple of times at 3.6 flat, and a few kids ran in the mid 3.6s, but nobody was close to Lindsey, whose infield workout suggests he’ll likely move from shortstop to center field in pro ball.
Don’t be surprised if you hear Lindsey compared to Trea Turner during the next month or so. Like Turner, Lindsey is a skinny speedster with defensive questions and a swing that needs to involve his entire body to generate thump. His BP in Phoenix was impressive and he’s much more physical than Turner was as a high schooler. Lindsey takes a comfortable hack, with bodily connectivity from head to toe. He’s short to the ball with his top hand driving contact, and he showed he could move the barrel around to make consistently flush contact during his session. Because Lindsey didn’t play a ton of showcase ball, the sample of reliable data we have access to is relatively small, meaning there’s substantial variability in projecting his hit tool, especially how he’ll handle breaking balls. But Lindsey thrived in the Combine’s showcase setting and could easily be someone’s multi-million dollar man if they believe he’ll hit. – EL

1.100 ops in june, red hot right now. more walks than k's this year. hitting .272 despite a low babip.

agreed, 2 diff regimes made that pretty transparent both years. id personally be much more willing to give guys chances when they arise. even if it's 1 in 100, that's better odds than the ben gamels of the world.

I'd call up Wilkin Ramos but my guess is Adcock would get the first call.

Sulser the other obvious option

I would consider using Houser more in relief and bring up Jose Butto as a long man

Adcock it is
If so anyone comment on how he looks?

Baty has played 4 games at 2B. I watched most of 2 of them. Can’t say he’s had a ton of tough plays and he looks mostly as you’d expect. Somewhat robotic but I also always thought Murphy looked robotic at 2B and he made it work well enough. I would have given Baty OF reps vs. 2B but I don’t think it’s impossible he becomes a viable 2B option if your expectations are closer to “playable” vs. a defensive asset. He’s a hard worker and turned himself into a solid 3B so I don’t doubt with time he has a “shot” at 2B but 4 games is still only 4 games.
We all said that's where he belongs. Glad the Mets realized this. The fans do know what's going on, as much as they think we don't.
@RumblePoniesBB Brandon Sproat (coming off his worst start of the season)
@BKCyclones Kade Morris
@stlucie Edgar Moreta #Mets
He seems pretty dialed in on in the league. Really enjoy his perspective.
also FWIW, he thinks Mets should sell. would build the system to the level of the 2016 Astros and prep for a long run.
also screw appleTV. that is all...
so net/net he's hit or miss.
