Ruben Tejada does not get a lot of hype, but there are aspects of him that are very interesting, and one of the most intriguing is his age. I had no idea until recently (this season) that during this baseball season he will turn just 19 years old. I thought he was much older than that. He first played for the Mets in the VESL and then in the Gulf Coast League in 2007 when he [...]

Buffalo 5, Rochester 9, Game 1 Tobi Stoner’s had 4 starts in AAA since posting a 2.68 era in AA, and of them, 2 have been quality, and only one has been really good. Today, he had an awful outing, getting raked around for 8 hits and 6 runs in 5.2 innings for his second loss. Jon Switzer came in with 2 on in the 6th inning, and allowed both runners to score, giving Stoner [...]

In this week’s Get To Know a Prospect, we will take a look at a 22 year old catcher who, although he is on the DL right now, in the last two seasons has started to make some noise in the Mets system as a catcher to watch. This catcher goes by the name of Josh Thole. The Mets drafted him in 2005 in the 13th round and that year he played his first “season” [...]

Buffalo 2, Rochester 6 Oliver Perez had a very mediocre rehab outing today, throwing 50% strikes and giving up 4 walks in 5 innings. Not numbers you want to see if you were hoping for Tiny Tim to be getting the boot. May I interest you in some Jonathan Joesph Niese? cf Cory Sullivan 2 for 4, RBI, .291 lf Jesus Feliciano 1 for 4, .303 rf Chip Ambres 0 for 3, BB, K, .241 [...]

Binghamton 1, New Hampshire 12 Every pitcher for the Mets gave up runs, with Brad Holt giving up the first 4 to take his 2nd EL loss. It just got uglier after he left the game. The offense had 10 hits and drew 4 walks, but went just 1 for 10 with RISP, in scoring a single run. The Mets left 9 on base, with 4 players taking 0-fers, Ike Davis (0 for 4, K, [...]

Binghamton 3, New Hampshire 5 Eric Brown, starting in place of Jenrry Mejia (they wanna keep Mejia’s innings down to around 125), went 4 scoreless before giving up 4 in the 5th to take his 8th loss. Edgar Alfonzo pitched 2 scoreless innings in relief of Brown. The Mets offense had just 5 hits and 2 walks in the game, while going a putrid 1 for 10 with RISP and leaving 5 on base. Jose [...]

Buffalo 3, Charlotte 4 Jon Niese had a GREAT outing today, he gave up just 3 runs (2 earned) on 5 hits over 8 innings, his longest outing of the year. He had his new 2 seamer working, as he generated 14 of his 24 outs via the groundball, and ran his ERA under 5, at 4.85. Brandon Knight allowed an UER to take the loss, his 8th. dh Cory Sullivan 0 for 3, run, [...]
