Adopted: Tyler Austin

themetfairy Sep 05 2012 02:59 PM

OK, he's currently enemy property. But he uses Mets fan Lori Martini's song "Believe" when coming up to bat, is a testicular cancer survivor, and by all accounts is a good kid. Maybe the Mets will trade for him one day.... Lori Martini interviews Tyler Austin Tyler was promoted to the Double A Trenton Thunder just in time for the playoffs. My plan is to see him in action on Saturday.

I saw my boy in Trenton this afternoon. Here he is on second base after an RBI double - The thinking is that he'll likely start the 2013 season in Trenton, so I'll be able to keep an eye on him next season.

Tyler was voted Breakout Prospect of the Year in the 2012 Minor League Baseball Year End Awards (MiLBY's).

My adoptee is in my neck of the woods and ready to start the season in Trenton - I hold out hope that one day the Mets will get him.

The kid had a good day on Sunday Hitting .270 on the season so far, but seems to be adjusting to the AA level.

themetfairy Jun 27 2013 08:15 AM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

Tyler has been named to the Eastern League All Star Team, and he is a finalist for the Futures Game.

themetfairy Jul 19 2013 06:03 AM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

He got a hit in the Eastern League All Star game, but a couple of days later landed on the DL with a right wrist injury.

themetfairy Aug 28 2013 10:36 AM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

Tyler's rehab appears to be nearing completion and he will be playing Arizona Fall Ball this year.

themetfairy Aug 30 2013 02:45 PM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

Tyler is going to be back with the Thunder tonight to face Portland for the final series of the regular season.

themetfairy Oct 02 2013 01:23 PM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

Tyler is ready for the Arizona Fall League season as a member of the Scottsdale Scorpions, which also has a few Mets of the Future on the roster.

themetfairy Oct 28 2013 07:31 PM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

A Scorpion No More Tyler was taken off of the roster as a precaution. He experienced wrist pain after being hit by a pitch.

Thanks Ashie!

themetfairy Apr 08 2014 09:09 AM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

Tyler started the year in Florida to finish rehabbing his wrist, but he's back in Trenton now. I'm still hoping that he winds up on the Mets one day.

themetfairy Nov 20 2014 04:31 PM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

In a move that hopefully increases his trade value, Tyler was added to the MFY's 40-man roster today.

themetfairy Apr 08 2015 08:26 AM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

The kid is starting the year at AAA Scranton. A step up from Trenton (in more ways than one).

themetfairy Aug 07 2015 02:50 PM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

It looks like I'll be seeing my adoptee in person again. After a rough season at AAA, Tyler is back in Trenton.

MFS62 Aug 17 2015 07:57 AM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

And he won a Teen Choice Award: http://www.aceshowbiz.com/events/Skylar ... om-01.html Oh, wait ... Later

themetfairy Sep 01 2015 03:16 PM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

The MFY's Designated Tyler For Assignment Now perhaps he'll get picked up by a decent team!

themetfairy Apr 11 2016 03:10 PM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

Unfortunately, Tyler is back with the MFY organization. He's back in Trenton, working on his first base skills. I still hold out hope that he'll eventually land with a better team....

themetfairy Jun 24 2016 11:10 AM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

And he's back up to Scranton!

themetfairy Aug 12 2016 09:24 PM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

It looks like Tyler is going to be called up to take ARod's rooster spot. No pressure Kid!

themetfairy Aug 13 2016 11:57 AM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

And the kid homers in his first at bat!

Edgy MD Aug 13 2016 12:40 PM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

There are probably few precedents: two rookies homer in their respective first at-bats, back to back.

themetfairy Sep 05 2016 09:15 AM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

I believe that Tyler is the first CPF adoptee to have Foley's name a burger after him - This week’s stuffed burger, the Tyler Austin Taco Burger! For each one ordered $1 will be donated to the the Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation! #TheRightStuff

themetfairy Feb 17 2017 05:55 PM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

The kid has a broken foot and will be out for the next six weeks. Based on that, he probably starts the season in extended spring training.

themetfairy Jun 24 2017 08:10 AM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

My adoptee's foot has healed and he's been called back up to the majors. Now if we could only trade for him to save him from the dark side....

themetfairy Aug 17 2017 03:05 PM Re: Adopted: Tyler Austin

After another stint on the DL for a hamstring injury, Tyler has been called up for tonight's game. Hopefully he won't be much of a factor in it....
