Mets Minors Notes
Left-handed pitching prospect Robert Carson plans to return to a mound for a bullpen session today for the first time since suffering an intercostal strain on his right side, which required an injection. He had tweaked the muscle while throwing batting practice a week ago.
Brant Rustich, the Mets’ second-round pick in the 2007 draft out of UCLA, has retired. The injury-plagued Rustich missed last season and had been experiencing a nerve issue that reduced the feeling in a finger.
Collins went and saw top prospect Zack Wheeler, who is in minor league camp, throw on the minor league side. Asked what he liked, Collins whistled and said: “Everything.”

Jason Bay DH (Dead hitter).
Johan was popping Thole’s glove.
johan beating the odds and coming back full strength (and staying back) would be a huge, huge windfall for the team.
Nice job Johan.
Dickey with an easy 3rd inning
Up next, Jeurys…… FAMILIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I have to say is that Andres Torres is clutch, he is a get it done guy. He’s the type of hitter you want up with the bases loaded, a real RBI guy…. 8)
As is Cedeno.
LOL, the infamous ‘what defines clutch’ discussion.
We’re still waiting for the Core to define it and to be able to quantify it so it can be tracked,
Hardy-har-har. Haar-dee-har-dee-har-har.
Ya, he’s one of those big boppers we’ve been missing for so long
Is it too soon to call Familia a bust?
did he give up some runners and let them score? if so, bust city. obviously can’t handle the pressure.
Way to soon, most young pitchers struggle of course there’s a certain few who don’t but most do. I like what I see from valdespan so far as well as satan. Want to see more nimmo get him in games give him at bats let him learn while he’s here. By the way torres I apologize not for saying you can’t hit 2 games is not a season, but atleast you aren’t running around like a chicken with your head cut off on the bases or in the outfeild.
Gotta say hate losing reyes pagan i’m happy they traded but they made way to many base running mistakes. Oh and i’m predicting 290-30-95 for duda this year. With getting my boy ike back and adding a better average to both wright and bay with a little more pop ( Wright 28, Bay 25 ) this team will be ok if the pitching holds up and of course no injuries. Murphy is going to have a monster year 315-20-80 would have loved to see if reyes would’ve sat out at the end of the year if murph would’ve stayed healthy he wasn’t that far behind reyes before he got hurt
Seen wheeler throw yesterday as well as harvey the night before And to be honest what I can say is kershaw and weaver. Just give them time to better understand how to pitch in situations. And damn it if nimmo doesn’t remind me of a less speedy elsbury.
