Go Lance. I thought he was going to be better than he turned out, hitting-wize. Anyone know whatever became of Zac Clements, the Mets' knuckleball-convert project?

More from the hitting to pitching front: "former catcher turned pitcher Joe Hietpas picked up his fourth win for St. Lucie. Hietpas was named the Mets minor league pitcher of the month in July"

I've been looking for evidence of Clements, as chronicled in Just Like Starting Over, but have found none.

I would have thought Niekro the Third would have panned out as a first baseman. Hope he does well in his genetic profession... just not against us.
