Adopted: Steven Matz

Since no one else has, and since my other adoptee is floundering in Florida, I will pick up the Mets first pick of the 2009 draft, give him a good home, nurture him, suckle him on Mets-milk. Like Lenny treated the mouse in "Of Mice and Men," at the beginning that is.

And if you find some navy #2 tees in his bureau on one of your home visits, does he get the treatment that mouse got later on?

The flip side is that my wife was a Yankees fan when I met her and I converted her to the good guys' side. So no one is beyond redemption.

My boy is inked, $895k. Wondering which minor league team he's going to be assigned to.

Seeing as how the minor league season is virtually over, my guess is 'none'. I suspect he'll see some instructional league time and maybe ride the bench somewhere (GCL?) while they get him ready for next year.

Screw that -- call him up! Come on, kid! Let's see what you've got!

Play continues in Port St. Lucie after that with the instructional league. This is interesting , from the same article Steve Matz realized he could have a professional baseball career only in the past year, when a growth spurt turned his 5-foot-7, 140-pound frame as a freshman into its current 6-4 and approaching 200 pounds. “My body just started getting bigger and everything,” said Matz, a lefthander from Ward Melville High School, who grew up a Mets fan in Stony Brook, L.I. “That’s when I had my growth spurt. My velocity jumped a little bit.” that's crazy

"Steve Matz realized he could have a professional baseball career only in the past year, when a growth spurt turned his 5-foot-7, 140-pound frame as a freshman into its current 6-4 and approaching 200 pounds." Well that's actually growth scattered over four years, not just one, although it's still kind of a lot. Notice in the Burkhardt interview the other night Matz was still ducking the question as to whether he was a Mets fan: 'well, I kinda liked all teams and just watched a lot of baseball whenever I could ,,, but my mom and grandma were' This guy's got a pair of #2 pinstriped PJs in his drawer, I'm sure of it. Or maybe Pettitte since he's a LHP.

Put Matz on the milk carton, I don't see him on any current Mets minor league roster. Did they even sign him?

I'd guess he's Brooklyn bound, but he's not on the extended spring training roster either.

MFS62 May 06 2010 07:41 AM Re: Adopted: Steven Matz

Edgy, I asked the Inside Pitch guy about Matz after I saw your post. Here's his reply: Funny you should ask. I spoke with Hector Berrios while I was down there. Matz had his first EXST session on Friday. Berrios (who's the GCL pitching coach this year) said he's looking good. He didn't put him on the gun or anything yet, but he is in EXST working with the GCL club at the moment. Later

Martz to have Tommy John surgery today.

Fman99 May 18 2010 10:07 PM Re: Adopted: Steven Matz

I'll bring him home after the surgery and put a pillow under his arm. We'll watch a porno or something.

avi I thought better of what I said.

Edgy MD Jun 27 2013 08:18 AM Re: Adopted: Steven Matz

Someone's routin' the Sally, pally-- 19 K against 4 BB (and just 4 hits) in 11 1/3 over the last two outings, too.

MFS62 Oct 03 2013 10:28 AM Re: Adopted: Steven Matz

Coming back from surgery and he had a pretty good year that will probably put him back on the top prospect lists. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minor ... tz--001ste Later

Steven looked good in Thursday's game. Let's go Matz! [fimg=450:3f0klf38]http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2797/13023326235_96019690f2_b.jpg[/fimg:3f0klf38]
