The Gulf Coast Newbies

Great names on this team that could really expand the dictionary of Mets Scrabble. Adopt one now, as this could be one of the namiest Mets affiliates of all time. My favorite: Rainy Lara, with honorary mentions to Ricky Ruff and Breiner Soto. Pitchers Martires Arias Alberto Baldonado Jacob DeGrom Miller Diaz Carlos Gomez Julian Hilario Robert Lake Rainy Lara Steven Matz Kenneth McDowall Isaac Monrroy Rafael Montero Adam O'Neill Richard Ruff Chad Sheppard Edioglis Villasmil Jared West Gabriel Ynoa Catchers Hector Alvarez Jeyckol De Leon Edward Rohan Infielders Sneider Batista Juan Carlos Gamboa Carlos Leyva Dimas Ponce Randoll Santana Donnie Tabb Outfielders Thomas De Wolf Gilbert Gomez Ryan Hutson Ariel Mercedes Eudy Pina Breiner Soto The team opens the season with a 5-4 loss to the Gulf Coast Nats. I'm not sure if Matz is there to play or just holding a place on their roster, but he's listed as active.

I adopted Edioglis Villasmil last year because of his name. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13281 So the rest of you guys better keep your mitts off my kid. Later

Jeyckol De Leon, if he can turn into Mr. Hyde at the plate.

I like the name "Gabriel Ynoa"

Ariel Mercedes. Gotta love a guy with not one, but TWO women's names. Bet he got beat up a lot in grade school.

The Gulf Coasters are up to 2-1 with the Mets taking a 5-3 win over thier Marlin counterparts, featuring five shutout innings from Miller Diaz --- three hits, one walk, three strikeouts. My new friend Rainy Lara came on with two on and got the last out for the save. Still waiting on Matz's debut. (Some say he's wearing a boot. I hear he's wearing two!)

Sneider Batista sounds like a stylish cartoon villain, maybe a rat or a chinchilla

Thanks, Rubin. Left-hander Steve Matz, the organization’s top pick (second round) two years ago, is home on Long Island. Matz, who had Tommy John surgery in May 2010, has halted throwing for the time being. He is expected to return to the Mets’ Port St. Lucie, Fla., complex in a week to 10 days. After being examined by Mets doctor David Altchek following elbow discomfort, Matz sought a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews. Wogan suggested neither doctor has any concern. Instead, the farm director said, the throwing interruption is a reminder that despite some pitchers returning as quickly as 11 months after Tommy John surgery, the length of recovery can be as long as 18 months, and that Matz fits into the category of a longer recovery time.

The Gulf Coasties come into the eighth inning down 4-2, and simply. go. nuts. They hammer out a 10-run eighth inning for the the 12-4 victory, featuring some character named Nimmo reaching base all five times --- three hits, two walks --- including his second homer. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb ... k_mtsrok_1
