major point of concern in regard to optimism with Parada (and Houck has a similar red flag)... in zone whiff rates. If you're swinging and missing at pitches out of the zone, that's something that's "easier" to correct. We've seen plenty of free swingers become more selective. Missing pitches IN the strike zone at a high level has been proven to be far more difficult to correct.
i agree with this, though i also think the stats around this get taken out of context often mostly because they are new and not well publicized at the minor league level. im not saying they are wrong and i have seen the same reports, i just dont trust the amateur scouting community as being good at analyzing that type of data yet. im not even sure the teams are great at it yet and they are throwing millions of $ of analysis at it.
I'll post that early NY time on Monday, after the Rockies series. We can just shoot the breeze there for four days in lieu of a series. Draft stuff will be on this thread though and minor league stuff will be on the minors thread for July, as usual.
RE: There will be an All-Star Break thread too for other assorted stuff.

Tidwell pitched for SYR on Saturday, and did not have a good game.
He went 3.2 innings, gave up 3 hits, 3 Runs, 3 ER's 3 Walks, 3 K's, and 2 HR's. (Three's were wild yesterday, I guess).
On a more positive note, Luke Ritter continues doing Luke Ritter things. He plays a half dozen IF and OF positions. And he drove in 2 runs in a 7 -4 SYR victory over the Scrantons. He can take DJ Stewart's job.
Oh, and Matt Gage got the Save. Bring him up !!
I think it might be Mike Vasil's turn to start today, before the Minor League break.
has been awful in Syracuse. I think he'll turn it around but he's always had significant bullpen risk (wouldn't be the end of the world given organizational needs) but he's not looking like he's helping the big club late 2024 as some were suggesting, probably not on the early season radar for next season either.
I missed Friday's game....I usually listen to the first few innings, especially if one of our good starters is going. We went out to see our favorite band playing locally.
Vasil's line on Friday -- looked pretty good.
6.0 Innings, 6 Hits, 2 ER's, 0 Walks, 5 K's, 1 solo HR.
Glad he's cut down on the Walks.

Sproat threw a hitless and scoreless 3rd inning (12 pitches). [/qYeuote]
Yes, I watched Sproat yesterday....'Composure' is the word that comes to mind. He mowed three AL kids down. Most pitchers got a single inning to show off. Some of the other guys on the NL team were not so smooth out there. Thomas White, the Marlin's LH pitcher got cuffed around soundly.
Kodai in the Third -- Another K, this time with the Ghost-Fork. Gave up a hit, but that runner was erased on a DP started by Acuna playing 2B today.
38 pitches facing the minimum thru 3 innings.
Wow. @stluciemets 11-0 in the 5th with only 1 extra base hit. Boston Baro 2-4, Ronald Hernandez 2-3, HR BB (not showing much power coming into today but having a nice season), Houck 1-2, BB, Fanas 3-3, Thornton 1 perfect 2 k's #Mets
Kodai in the 4th -- surrendered a hit and a run but worked out of a first and third nobody out jam. I think the radio guy said he's up to 55 pitches, his high for the rehab so far.
Fully admitting I didn’t watch every pitch, I thought Senga looked good (and healthy) but not dominant. I’d probably give him one more rehab start but that’s just me. Clearly labored in the 5th. Again, I’m talking about stamina vs. thinking he’s still hurt

Agreed. Give him time. I'd be fine with him coming back the first week of August after the trade deadline passes on July 30th. Heps us to figure out the big-league roster too.
Tyler Stuart yesterday 4 innings 4 hits 1 er 0 walks 4 k's. Stuart has a 24/1 K/BB over his last 4 starts and has dropped his era nearly 1 full run over the last month #Mets

Stuart is a guy I'm pulling for. He's got dominant size, listed at 6' 9" and 250 lbs.....throws down-hill. That's the kind of look that can screw up the opposition's batting order for the next day.
inside information but Stuart's promotion to Syracuse is likely very close. 3.39 FIP/3.28 xFIP this season, not really much more for him to prove in AA (23 AA starts 2023+2024)
Probably won't happen but I'd be curious to see DSL pitcher Jose Guevara receive an end of the DSL season promotion to @stluciemets. Guevara is older for a DSL player (turned 19 in April) and has been dominant in DSL player (1.84 era, 35 k's over 29.1 innings vs. only 6 BB) #Mets

Left out there for round 3:

Joey Oakie (43)
Sean Keys (45)
Mike Sirota (48)
Kavares Tears (50)
and mets pick what 8th today? seems like a decent chance they can get another highish profile player. doesn't sound like either guy they pick has any kind of extreme hard to sign-ability but i guess we'll see.

Yes 82nd overall. Both players they picked will be signing.
was on Collazo's "dart throw" pick for the Mets, which were both players he heard teams like AND picks that made sense based on drafting habits, it's unclear which one he represents in regard to the Mets.
@BKCyclones have released LHP Julian Smith. Smith the @Dodgers 15th round pick in the 2018 drafted was signed by @Mets to a minor league deal in May #Mets
Mayer proposes trading Tyler Stuart and Nick Morabito for Jesse Winker
Seems like a lot to give up for a rental. Maybe Morabito only.
I feel the same way. If you liked Stuart in 2023 then you should still like him now. he's posting near identical numbers at a higher level. 2023 3.06 FIP/9.99 k/9, 2.74 BB/9 2024- 3.39 FIP, 9.81 K/9, 2.19 bb/9

Something like Morabito and Wenninger I would be fine with
I would do that or something similar. Stuart isn’t the next big thing (pun intended) but he’s a XXL upper minors SP performing well in AA, that plus Morabito is an overpay for a rental of a guy like Winker. Wenninger has an outstanding CU but his upside is limited.

He went 3.2 innings, gave up 3 hits, 3 Runs, 3 ER's 3 Walks, 3 K's, and 2 HR's. (Three's were wild yesterday, I guess).

Baty back at 3b, Acuna at 2b. Ugly July so far for Acuna (.408 OPS, 0 extra-base hits)

I didn't realize Luke was 27 years old....Bring him up.
Around 55 pitches is where he started to fade last start.
He's coming out now after 66 pitches, 40 strikes. K'd the last batter he faced. Big had from the fans at the SYR ballpark.
Agreed. Give him time. I'd be fine with him coming back the first week of August after the trade deadline passes on July 30th. Heps us to figure out the big-league roster too.
batting avg up to .242 ops up to .939. org was really lacking lefty power so could be a real nice complimentary piece in a 1b/DH/COF group.

Hernandez 2-3, HR, 4 RBI, 3 BB
