New York: 8-7, Las Vegas: 11-3, Binghamton: 7-4, St. Lucie: 7-6, Savannah: 9-4 All active teams in the organization are over .500. Net total: 42-24, .636

Don't most organizations have more than four farm teams? That seems like not so much to me.

Frayed Knot Apr 17 2014 10:14 AM Re: The Org

Six is the norm but remember that the short-season leagues don't begin until late June or so. The Mets actually have seven affiliates, the above four plus Brooklyn in the NY Penn League, Kingston in the Appy Lg, and a second team in PSL that plays in the entry level Gulf Coast Lg

Las Vegas beats Reno 6-0 tonight, with Dana Eveland going the first five innings of the shutout to get the win, and Allan Dykstra going 2-4 with a homer and a double. Wilmer F. Flores got a double a triple and three RBI of his own.

Hero of the Day has to be Matt Bowman, whose 11 strikeouts allow him to edge even an impressive Steven Matz outing. Goat of the Day looks like Gavin Cecchini, whose four trips as leadoff batter for Savannah resulted in a failure to reach base, 2 strikeouts, a poor showing at the plate compounded by two errors on defense, one with the glove and one with the arm. Hang in there, Gavin. There'll be better days!

Frayed Knot Apr 21 2014 09:48 PM Re: The Org

Cool new feature (or maybe I've just noticed it) on BB-Ref When you look up a minor league player, next to his age for each season it lists the age difference between him and "the weighted average" of the rest of the league he's in that year (hitters and pitchers calculated separately). So, for instance, Met fans who proclaim themselves to be "tired of waiting"* for Wilmer Flores can see at a glance that he's been from around three and a half to nearly six years younger than his league virtually every season and at every level as he's progressed. * "If he were any good he'd be up here already" -- M. Francesa (at least two years ago)

A box like this has to be preserved for posterity. Francoeur pitched! He was, in fact, the only thing that kept LV from scoring in every inning.

Wouldn't mind seeing his slugging numbers upped a bit -- only 4 doubles + 1 triple + 1 HR among his 30 hits to date, but: 1) both Port St Lucie in particular and the Fla St Lg in general typically suppress XBHs -- Low altitude, humid weather, children playing in big boy sized parks, etc. 2) power is often the last thing to come around on young players so added Pop may still be lurking in his DNA getting ready to blossom at some future time As always, the usual SSS (small sample size) warnings apply, your mileage may vary, past performance is no guarantee of future earnings, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Matt Eddy of BA on Nimmo -- Be very encouraged that Nimmo’s [2013] hand injury has healed and he can get on top of the ball again. Be wary of his .479 batting average on balls in play. His secondary skills are good for his age, but his power is not otherworldly, so his rate of productivity could look a lot different once the singles stop falling. (For whatever reason, he’s also hitting .458 at home. Is this a fluke, or does he see the ball very well in St. Lucie?) The Mets have to be thrilled with the early performance. It could be a real confidence-builder going forward. He actually went 0-4 yesterday although w/a walk.

Las Vegas 51s 16, Salt Lake Bees 4 Binghamton Mets 12, Harrisburg Sentators 6 St. Lucie Mets 4, Palm Beach Cardinals 2 Savannah Sand Gnats 5, West Virginia Power 3 Watching the box scores, it seems the organization's teams are doing a good job scoring late. This should be the sort of benefit you get from being selective --- getting into the bullpen earlier and facing a lesser/tireder quality of pitcher in the late innings. Brandon Allen (5-6, HR, 2 RBI) edges Jayce Boyd for Organizational Dude of the Day. Gavin Cecchini, who had just extended his hitting streak to 10 games, was pulled from the game early with an apparent knee injury. Look for LJ Mazzilli to get some time there. If he's disabled, that may mean the team launches the season of Ismaiel Tejerina a little early, or possibly the ballyhooed Amed Rosario.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Is Matt Reynolds someone we should start getting excited about? I dunno. College pick in 2012 (U Arkansas). Had a partial season in 2012 then his first full one in 2013 where his bat was nothing special [.225/.300/.335]. As such he wasn't mentioned prominently in pre-season prospect stuff but he was moving quickly up the ladder (low A in 2012, A+ and AA in 2013) and I think the reports on his glove are good. Now his offense just seems to have exploded this year (well, not a lot of power but otherwise good -- .358/.425/.443) in AA & AAA. So while the track record isn't long, he's still only 23 and, if he can handle the position defensively, maybe there is reason to wonder if he's at least a piece of the future.

Promotions and alterations and that rotation doesn't hold at all. But if you went last night, you saw domination from Greg Peavey: 8.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 SO. He's 8-1.

themetfairy Jul 26 2014 09:29 AM Re: The Org

I did indeed. Even though the scoreboard said he was Bowman for the first inning. It was a good showing by The Youth of America.

themetfairy Jul 27 2014 07:47 AM Re: The Org

Last night's game was the opposite of a pitcher's duel. Gabriel Ynoa didn't impress, but Dilson Herrera hit a three run homer that contributed to a 10-7 B-Mets victory over the Trenton Thunder. The four-run top of the 7th took upwards of a half an hour to play - it was almost like they didn't want to get to the seventh inning stretch because they feared someone would kill the Queen. The oddest moment of the game, during that inning, involved Darrell Ceciliani being hit by a pitch twice in one at bat and then being thrown out of the game (he argued vehemently that he was hit the first time but the ump said no. Then he was drilled, and must have said something really choice to the umpire when he tossed his bat because the umpire ejected him immediately afterwards). The fireworks on the field were followed by a fireworks display that was likely much better than the one we'll see at Citi Field this coming Saturday.

Edgy MD Jul 31 2014 10:33 PM Re: The Org

Montero dominated El Paso this evening, going 6 2/3 innings scoreless, giving up just three hits and two walks, while striking out six. Vegans lead 2-0 through seven. Bingo over-ran Bowie, 9-4, as shorstop T.J. Rivera stroked three hits --- two of 'em doubles --- to raise his average to .349, that's after spending the first three months of the season hitting .341 in the Florida State League. Neither the power nor the plate discipline are particularly showing up, but it's hard to dislike the batting averages. The lower levels were mostly disappointments this evening.

Strange one happening on Staten Island as the Cyclones and Baby Yanks go to extra innings tied 1-1. Michael Comforto has two hits and nailed a guy at the plate in the eighth. The lone Yankee run came through a Tyler Moore error and a wild pitch by Alberto Baldanado. Really strange part is that Jhoan Urena was ejected before the game's first pitch.

MFS62 Aug 28 2014 04:51 PM Re: The Org

Last time I looked (a few days ago) the top 5 teams in the organization were a cumulative 100 games over .500. That's a mixed blessing. It speaks well for the organization. But, unlike in some prior years, I don't think too many players will be brought up one level for the playoffs because their team is participating in their own playoffs. And I don't see too many Las Vegas players being brought up to the majors until their playoff season is over. Later

I wouldn't think of it as a mixed blessing, but a blessing. I mean, the 51s were in the playoffs last year. Good.

Moving from 11th place to fourth place and now to first place in the span of three years, the Mets have overtaken the Astros to record the highest organizational winning percentage in baseball, considering the performance domestic minor league clubs only. Houston had finished at the top of the heap in both 2012 and 2013. All seven of the Mets’ affiliates finished at .500 or better, headed by low Class A Savannah (.625) and footed by Rookie-level Kingsport (.500). Despite the organization’s overall success, just three of its farm clubs qualified for the playoffs, and among those qualifiers, both Savannah and Triple-A Las Vegas (.563) made first-round exits. Only Double-A Binghamton (.585) remains, and the they will play for the Eastern League championship this week. http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/2 ... standings/

That's worth celebrating.
