The story of St. Lucie in 2017 seems to be injured starting pitching so far. Former Mets assistant batting coach Luis Natera joins brand new manager Chad Kreuter and turn-of-the-century fringy pitcher Marc Valdes in guiding a team with almost a full rotation worth of pitchers on the DL.

After about a half-dozen of those ball-toss reps I'd be like; "We're done for the day now, right?"

Vinny-with-a-y grew up 50 miles away from L.J. Mazzilli, followed L.J. at UCONN, and is now following him up the system into the middle infield bottleneck atop the organization, so he isn't scheduled for his first recreational drug suspension until he reaches Binghamton.

Nimmo goes 0-2 with two walks in his second rehab game for St. Loo, maintaining his .500 OBP.

As bad as the Mets have had it with starting pitching, Lucie has had it worse, with five starters currently DL-ing, and two more that have served time on the list.

A three-game winning streak has lifted the Lucitas out of the cellar, taking them past the Jupiter Hammerheads in the Florida State League South Division. They continue to retain a larger and better starting rotation on the disabled list than on the active roster, leaving Andrew Church as their nominal ace. Top prospect Justin Dunn has been having trouble finding the plate, and has been getting his head handed to him (6.91 ERA) more often than not.

The recent activation of firstbaseman Peter Alonso from the disabled lists marks a milestone of sorts for the St. Lucie Mets. It allows me to cut one row off the list of disabled players, winnowing the number down to 10. Interestingly, when St. Lucie needs an extra dude, they tend to draw him off the Brooklyn roster, and when they have too many players, they demote a guy to "Brooklyn," which at this time of the year, just means he's deactivated, but he stays in St. Lucie, working out with the extended spring training crowd. Either they don't want to disrupt the Fireflies in Columbia too much, or they don't want to move a player if they don't have to. So guys only get promoted or demoted between the team on merit, which I guess is cool.

Justin Dunn only just recently reinserted into the St. Lucie rotation following a switch to the bullpen after a couple of ugly starts, just put together his best outing of the year, striking out seven and walking none in five shutout innings. Combined with four more scoreless innings from Kevin Canelon (3) and Tyler Bashlor (1), the effort produced a 1-0 shutout victory over the always-dangerous Florida Fire Frogs.

Two runs in the ninth left the FSL Southern Division All-Stars on the short end of a 5-2 All Star Game. Competing against the league's best, Jhoan Urena took an 0-4 collar. Patrick Mazeika did better, going 1-3 with a walk out of the DH slot.

Edgy MD Jun 24 2017 02:08 AM Re: St. Lucie Seventeen |
The St. Lucie Mets did a nice imitation of the parent club today, falling behind 3-0 to the Charlotte Stone Crabs after one inning, and 5-0 after two.

Good for Tebow. And they love him in St. Lucie.

Ceetar Jun 26 2017 02:39 PM Re: St. Lucie Seventeen |
Guess they needed the space in Columbus for the real prospects they just drafted.
|
Edgy MD Jun 26 2017 03:57 PM Re: St. Lucie Seventeen |
It's rare a draftee lands in Columbus. With exceptions at the high end, you can pretty much expect guys with three or four years of college to hit Brooklyn, guys with two years of college or junior college to land in Kingsport, and the high schoolers to report to the Gulf Coast League.
|
Ceetar Jun 26 2017 04:22 PM Re: St. Lucie Seventeen |
Sure, but it's cascading. (and they move guys around all the time) Take this Jose Miguel Medina guy who went from Columbia, to Brooklyn, to PSL, to Brooklyn, back to Columbia, and back to Brooklyn. (his living situation must suck)

Anyone wanna guess who homered today for St Lucie? Well, nobody would be posting about it if it was anyone else.
|
Edgy MD Jun 29 2017 03:13 AM Re: St. Lucie Seventeen |
He went 1-2 with a walk in Game One as the DH, and then played left in Game Two and stuck it to ceetar, going 2-3 with a second-inning, two-run homer.

Tomorrow is DOLLAR NIGHT - $1 Tickets, $1 Beer, Tim Tebow, and a capacity crowd of drunken Florida Gators fans!

Frayed Knot Jun 29 2017 03:20 AM Re: St. Lucie Seventeen |
The thing about Tebow is that obviously his learning curve/timetable has to be sped up seeing as he's about 7-8 years behind the growth chart at this point.
|
Nymr83 Jun 29 2017 03:23 AM Re: St. Lucie Seventeen |
I think the thought is more that he plays "well" enough to continue selling jerseys and boosting attendance well into next spring.

Frayed Knot Jun 29 2017 04:00 AM Re: St. Lucie Seventeen |

That's certainly part of it and although I think the "windfall" that the Mets are making off this is probably being exaggerated. The Wilpons DO own the PSL affiliate but they don't own either Columbia or Binghamton so the direct dollars into NYM profits is limited, plus much of that money is sent into the general fund so the Mets only see 1/30 of it anyway. And I don't think either the Mets or Tebow have committed to a second season of this. He may not want to continue beyond this year and even if he does it's questionable whether the Mets would give him the spot to do it in. The opposing teams in the (SEC-centric) Sally League and now in the FSL are probably making as much out of this as the Mets are. TT is coming to town ... get your tickets NOW!!!!!
|
Ceetar Jun 29 2017 01:18 PM Re: St. Lucie Seventeen |
Sure, but they're newly in Columbia and the Mets providing ticket draw is beneficial to the relationship (and beneficial to Tebow's agent to do a favor) Since their's pretty much always room for a celebrity minor leaguer if they're willing, I wonder if this could catch on. But there probably aren't enough 20-30ish uber-stars with even the baseline athleticism to fake it like timmy is. Like, Drake would get embarrassed out there.

The successful double-header debut of Tim Tebow in St. Lucie was NOT a success for the team, as they were swept by a Palm Beach team who followed up on taking both ends of the double-header by deserting on St. Lucie with an extra-inning win the next. That loss dropped them to 1-6 in the Florida State League second half standings, good for dead last in the league’s South Division. This follows in the heels of a three-way tie for third in the first half. And you know what they say—a three-way tie for third is a three-way tie for fifth.

St. Lucie in a marathon tonight. The just went up 4-3 over the Florida Firefrogs in the 15th.

Pretty grandiose for a single-A affiliate-- high-A or not-- to go with the whole-state naming convention, no?

Edgy MD Aug 04 2017 03:26 PM Re: St. Lucie Seventeen |
Recently promoted from Columbia to St. Lucie is Dominican righthander Adonis Uceta. Pitching on May 7 for Columbia, Adonis walked three and allowed four earned runs in an inning and 2/3. Since then, bupkis. All summer long, Adonis has set them up and knocked them down, allowing zero earned runs in 24 consecutive appearances, the last three of which have been with St. Lucie.

John Mora got caught stealing today in St. Lucie's extra-inning win. John gets the Lenny Randle Award for continuing to run despite a counter-productive efficiency, having now successfully stolen 15 times, against being caught 13 times, good for a 53.6% success rate.
|
Edgy MD Aug 08 2017 04:03 AM Re: St. Lucie Seventeen |
A perfect ninth with two strikeous for the save tonight and Uceta is up to 33 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings. It's his first save in the FSL after he had earn the closer spot in first in Columbia and the again with Lucie.

Charlotte shortstop Lucius Fox hits a sinking liner to left. With two out and the bags empty, a typical baseball player pulls up and plays that on a hop.
