Clifford looking more and more like a higher end Duda and Acuna looks like something Andres Gimenez-ish. He's probably a better athlete but probably not quite as good instincts. Should be a useful player this year for big club though even if it's a smaller role at some point (pinch runner, defense).
I posted this on the end of the June Minors thread. I think it might be worth re-posting as we start July.
Acuna played CF, went 1 for 3 and his hard-hit single drove in the tying run in the top of the 8th.
Baty, batting 2nd, went 0 for 3 with a K, against the same BUF pitcher (Sanchez) the Mets roughed up last Tuesday, this time he held the Mets to 1 hit over 7 innings.
Baty played 2B and his error in the bottom of the 8th opened the flood gates for a 5 run uprising to clinch the loss.
Why is Baty playing 2B ? He should be in a corner OF spot.

Baty belongs at 3B and in LF. Left field would be a nice alternative spot for him when he's not playing 3B.

A healthy Starling Marte ain't walking thru that door any time soon. Baty's path back to the Bigs is in the OF, he's now blocked in the infield by 3 or 4 good players.

Mike Vasil has leapfrogged Christian Scott in the Triple-A Syracuse rotation, starting tonight in what would normally be Scott's spot. Seems like a pretty good indication that we'll see Scott this week.
The Mets have a TBA in their rotation on Wednesday.

Great! I thought at first Quintana would pitch on Wednesday, but the Mets haven't announced their starting pitchers for both Wednesday and Thursday. Quintana's gonna pitch one of those days. Now it makes sense to have Quintana pitch on Thursday (July 4th) at the odd 11 am start time that day instead of the rookie. Make things as comfy as possible for C. Scott on Wednesday and then send him down again for bullpen help after the game so the Mets can manage the last two games of the Diaz suspension before Mr. Sticky Fingahz makes his return on Saturday.

Brandon Nimmo slipped and fell last night at the team hotel in DC and cut his forehead. He spent the morning at the hospital but tests were negative for a concussion.
Christian Scott will take Tylor Megill’s spot in the Mets rotation.

@NYPost_Mets
It will be Christian Scott for Wednesday’s start. Mets officials are discussing the possibility of Jose Butto for the bullpen - in a multi-inning role so he can stay somewhat stretched out if needed for starting duty.
whoa didnt realize we were up to rehab starts. almost seems like 2nd half was always the plan.
Still is. Second half starts 7/19, he's not going to be back before then, he's probably going to take the full 30 days. No chance he's back before the second half.
Stuart's era last season caused some people to overrate him (presumably also his size, despite the fact he's not a hard thrower) BUT his era this season is also misleading. He has a 4.72 era with a 3.56 FIP, 9.74 K/9, .362 BABIP, by E-F (split between era and FIP) 4 pitchers have more unlucky in the EL out of 33 qualified SPer. 3rd highest BABIP. He may not even be a starter on a good team but a Trevor Williams-type swing man still seems like a very realistic outcome. Vasil has superior pure stuff but Stuart probably has a better idea of what he's doing out there.

i think through all the rehab starts/stops it appears that was always the target both sides were comfortable with. minimum amount of pitching this year to get him to next year with a chance to hit that innings number.

With Met starters (Petersen, Quintana) routinely going 4 or 5 innings, Houser and Butto seem a better option than stitching together 4 or 5 innings and totally blowing your bullpen for the next day.
I wonder if starters or relievers have pitched more innings for the Mets this year....likely starters, but I bet it's close
Have I mentioned recently that Tom Seaver had 231 career complete games; 19 in one season?
i think all teams have played more games than the mets have, but over the same number of aggregate days/days off the mets RP workloads aren't an overall outlier.
someone like Reed Garrett is because they've had no depth at the back end of the BP with Raley injured, Otto sucking, lopez DFA'd, Diaz inj/sucking/suspended.
Alvarez and Vientos are now hitting just over .300 with good power.

He may not even be a starter on a good team but a Trevor Williams-type swing man still seems like a very realistic outcome. Vasil has superior pure stuff but Stuart probably has a better idea of what he's doing out there.
I listened in to the start of the SYR game on the Internet Radio last night to get an idea how Mike Vasil is progressing.
Vasil went 6 innings with 3K's and 1 walk. He had trouble in the 3rd inning with the bottom of Worcester Red Sox order.
He got two strikes on 2 batters.....but he hit the first guy in the jaw with a pitch and that might have affected Vasil because he walked the next batter on a 3-2 count. He gave up a couple hard-hit balls to the top of the order, and found himself on the short end of a 3 to 1 score.
His teammates tied the score in the 5th to take him off the hook. But I was a little concerned with the way he couldn't put away the bottom of the order after getting 2 strikes on the batters.
Hitters are more selective at AAA, they don't chase borderline pitches. All part of the learning curve, I guess.
Awesome! The way he's going, he'll be a part of the starting rotation in Flushing by 2026 (at the latest).
Barring injury, he should be an option for the Mets rotation early 2025.
We've got good times coming. This organization has a tradition of producing fine starting pitching. I loved what I saw from Scott and am super excited to see Sproat. I ws reading the article from MMO below about him:
7/2/2018 The Mets sign 16-year-old catcher Francisco Álvarez. Álvarez receives a $2.7 million signing bonus, the largest payout given to an international prospect in team history.

Mets named on Badler’s 30 DSL players who are impressing . As I’ve said, I’ve heard the Mets are expected to make major changes to the IFA setup. Just hasn’t been great shakes overall recently.
Don't bother looking up Dom Hamel's pitching line. Last night he went 4.2 innings and gave up 7 ER and 3 homers.
Oh those base-on-balls.....still a problem for Dom.

I was going to mention it. I really think it's time to pull the plug and start giving him time in the pen where his stuff could play up better in shorter stints. He's already 25.
Looks like Vargas played yesterday so that's good. Hopefully no more injuries.
Reimer timeline was wrong unless he had a setback. Will we see Gilbert this month?

Reimer's hammy was revealed to be a tear, probably pretty bad. Gilbert they claim mid July
.203 / .400 / .609 (1.009 ops), 8 homers, 4 2bs, 18 rbis, more walks (21) than k's (18)
Acuna =
.298 / .348 / .413 (761 ops), 2nd straight month with 7 xbh

Definitely doesn't seem like a Brian Leetch cab/ice incident, but I'm always wondering the real story when grown men or women fall.

Pipeline did a re-rank of the top 100 and they put him in at 98 now. Should probably be even higher. Mets have 6 players in that ranking now.

Money well spent.
He rubbed a little dirt on it and got right back down in his stance.
I say a prayer to Jerry Grote for Frankie's long and healthy career.
Arguably the best CU in the organization (certainly top 5). Not a hard thrower, likely RP but I like him
