MLB Dirt recently posted their latest Mock Draft in which they pegged the Mets for top high school outfielder, Albert Almora of Mater Academy in Florida. They write: The Mets have a shallow system and they need high upside guys. They took Brandon Nimmo last year and if Almora is available I believe they would take him. He is a plus defender in center field and has a potential plus hit tool and should add power when he adds muscle to his [...]

Buffalo 4 – Lehigh Valley 1 Chris Schwinden turned in a solid performance to improve to 2-1 as the Bisons defeated the Iron Pigs 4-1. Schwinny allowed just one run on four hits and a walk in seven innings of work and lowered his ERA to 2.25 for the season. Jack Egbert followed with a perfect inning of relief, and closer Fernando Cabrera picked up his third save of the season with a scoreless inning. The Bisons got on [...]

LEHIGH VALLEY 8 – BUFFALO 2 AAA RHP Jeurys Familia was playing with fire Monday night and his final pitching line was downright diabolical, letting up 6 runs on 6 hits and 6 walks. After four innings pitched, manager Wally Backman had seen enough and promptly exorcised Familia from the mound in favor of right-hander Dylan Owen. The 25 year old reliever quickly allowed two more runs to cross the plate as things completely spiraled [...]

BUFFALO 10 – PAWTUCKET 9 AAA The Herd charged back in dramatic fashion last night as they came from six runs down in the middle of the sixth inning, to win the game against Pawtucket in 10 innings, on a walk-off hit by Jordany Valdespin which gave Buffalo a 10-9 victory. The comeback started in the bottom of the sixth with the score 9-3 in favor of Pawtucket. Andrew Miller had just come on to pitch in [...]

The Eastern League has named Binghamton Mets starter Greg Peavey as the Pitcher of the Week ending April 15th. Peavey, 23, went 2-0 with and tossed 10.2 scoreless innings allowing just six hits and a walk while striking out nine batters. The right-hander was selected in the 6th round of the 2010 draft by the Mets and made his professional debut with the Savannah Sand Gnats last season where he made 14 starts and went [...]

PAWTUCKET 9 – BISONS 6 AAA The Bisons were out-slugged for the second day in a row, this time it was the Pawtucket PawSox who branded them with the loss on Saturday afternoon in Buffalo. A crucial fielding error by Zach Lutz in the fifth inning opened the floodgates to five unearned runs, and as a great baseball genius once said, “that’s the ball game.” Second-baseman Bobby Scales came a triple shy of the cycle [...]

BUFFALO BISONS AAA The SWB Yankees pounded out 7 runs on 13 hits as they lassoed the Herd Friday afternoon in Buffalo by a score of 7-5. The loss drops Buffalo’s record this year to 4-5. Chase Whitley (1-0), pitching in relief of starter D.J. Mitchell, picked up the win by throwing four scoreless innings, striking out three, and only giving up one hit. Kevin Whelan gave up a run in the ninth, but still [...]

BUFFALO BISONS AAA The Bisons got corralled Thursday afternoon by a score of 7-2 at the hands of the SWB Yankees in Buffalo. A three-run second off Chris Schwinden, and a three-run seventh off Jeff Stevens would provide the Yankees with all the scoring they would need, and they added a solo homer by Steve Pearce off Daniel Herrera in the fifth. Schwinden who struggled mightily with his command, pitched four innings and took the [...]
