Adopted - Kevin Plawecki

MFS62 Jun 09 2014 12:27 AM

My newest kid (Montero had to leave my house when he made the majors this year) is catcher Kevin Plawecki. The ex-Purdue Boilermaker hitting to the tune of a .899 OBP at Binghamton. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.js ... pid=608700 He was drafted with a supplemental pick 2 years ago, and is considered a good hitter, so-so defender. Kid, I hope we'll be seeing you with the big club this year. Later

Plawecki is a “future All-Star” and “the best catcher in the organization" - or so says an American League scout quoted in a John Marzano NY Post article, “He can hit, catch, throw ... his mechanical flaws are easily correctable" the scout said. "From level to level, he needs to get [locked] in with his arm action and the arm path, and once he gets that locked down, he’s going to have a better-than-average arm.”

If he works out, that would free the Mets to trade Travis for a Cy Young winner!

Kristie Ackert in the Daily News today says that Plawecki will go to Las Vegas when d'Arnaud returns to the Mets.

Teagarden not expected to clear wavers?

Benjamin Grimm Jun 23 2014 05:16 PM Re: Adopted - Kevin Plawecki

The other speculation was that Recker would leave the Mets and Teagarden would stay. (I know you don't want to hear this; I'm sorry!)

It's OK. I can watch 51s games too. But it still speaks of one catcher going out of Las Vegas and two coming in. So I'm curious. Teaparty would have to sit out a few days while attempting to pass through waivers, right? So maybe Plawecki would be initially promoted to cover that stretch.

Is Centeno still in Vegas? Maybe he'll get demoted.

From a BA Q&A: Q: That [breaking into the Top-50 mid-season prospects list (at #40)] is serious helium for Kevin Plawecki. What's a realistic projection for him? A: (Matt Eddy - BA): A regular catcher who won’t have to bat eighth in the order! Just glancing at regular catchers from the past five years, Plawecki might have a batting average-fueled ceiling along the lines of Salvador Perez or Carlos Ruiz, though he probably won’t be as strong defensively.

Rubin is reporting that Kevin has missed recent games because of a case of vertigo. No treatment, just rest. Later

Take two Kim Novaks and call me in the morning.

One of the radio reports from spring training said that Kevin has been working out at first base. Later

We'll finally have a name to rhyme with Sadecki.

Terry mentioned on the post game press conference that Kevin may be the player called up while Travis is on the DL. He added that if he is, he will play regularly and not be a platoon player. No formal word yet. Later

Kicking my kid out of the house. He's in the bigs now. But while he was here at our dinner table, wifey made great stuffed cabbage. Do us proud, kid. Later
