LoL, your “Godzilla to fight the GEICO gecco” comment made me remeber the Taco Bell “Here lizard, lizard lizard” commercials.

Like Donal noted, once the 1st half ends (most, if not all, of the minors have split seasons), and they have the ASGs, there will be a bunch of moves to put guys where they belong, or at least a level closer to it!

harvey, vaughn, and a few others will all move up a level.

“One Mets prospect who seems to be making the minor league highlight reel every week is outfielder Cory Vaughn. Last night he drove in the go-ahead run with a sharp single into right field to give the Gnats the lead on their way to a 3-1 victory. Vaughn is batting .332 with a .454 OBP and .477 SLG. He currently ranks in the top 5 in in about a dozen different offensive categories in the Sally Lg.”

That’s my boy! Now, when will he get that promotion to Binghamton? They need someone like him in the worst way.

After being out for a year with his injury, Havens took a while to get his feet on the ground. He struck out a bunch of times at PSL. It realistically might take another month. Then it’s off to the races for this thoroughbred who will arrive at CitiField sooner rather than later.

All this is based on Reese remaining healthy. That’s very likely if his oblique issue has been solved.

Rumor is he gets one more start, then gets promoted after the Florida State League All Star Game.

Sending Harvey out again and again against FSL hitters is like sending Godzilla to fight the GEICO gecco. When are they going to have him face a better quality of hitters? He needs to go up against other players at his level. Piling up strikeouts against 18-20 year olds doesn’t seem like a good way to develop a future ace who shortly turns 23.
