Mickey don't take no mess: Hansel to Vegas, Gerson up from Bingo.

Gerson ... of Interest

Hm. Kid's a little raw.

I was just over at the Bingo site. Gerson has five innings, no runs allowed on two hits, no walks, and a hit batsman. Has struck out 11. That's not a lot of a track record but it's sort of show that makes a team think about leapfrogging you over AAA. Gerson was one of the three pitchers acquired for Addison Reed. Has been clocked at over 100 MPH, but came over with a reputation for wildness — a reputation that he has gone a long way toward shedding in his brief time with the Mets.

Wait, who? Oh, This Guy Ummmm, never heard of him. OK, I probably did, but have no recollection of the name. He was the 'high-ceiling' guy in the Addison Reed deal. Turns 23 next month, great H/IP ratio during his minor league life [213 IP/ 164 H] but, as mentioned, then there are the walks: 92 to go with 193 K Has pitched Five innings in Bingo this season which brings his career total of innings pitched above the A-Ball level up to Five Did Robles quick-pitch that HR last night and thereby tick off mgmt?

fresh arm they're a good 5 IP. he's close.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 17 2018 07:01 PM Re: Robles Down, Bautista Up

The name is familiar to me. Did he generate some buzz during spring training with the Mets this year?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 17 2018 07:09 PM Re: Robles Down, Bautista Up

Yes he popped everyone's eyes in Spring Training. Throws 100, tall and very skinny, fresh 'do

"Ceetar": fresh arm -- no more or less fresh than anyone else's after two weeks of the season they're a good 5 IP -- well, there's that I suppose he's close -- close to what ... close to ML ready after his 4.22 ERA / 1.59 WHIP of a season in A-ball? Look, I'm not putting down the move. Like I said, I have no opinion of the guy. But at the same time let's not mentally 'grass-is-greener' him into a reliable reliever based on 3 April outings in 40 degree weather. It's likely just a short-term thing anyway. Be cool if he were to pitch well enough to make them keep him up.

Not too late to get your expectations in. [fimg=500]http://metsmerizedonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/DHhn46NV0AEzEi9.jpg[/fimg] He's so good the centerfielder doesn't even pay attention when he's pitching!

Be cool if he were to pitch well enough to make them keep him up. I think he hasn't pitched in a few days, so fresh in the sense of 'rested'. And close as in "Binghamton is right there and Vegas isn't"
