Here are a couple of updates from the one and only Adam Rubin of ESPN New York.
Former 1st rounder Brandon Nimmo will start begin the season in Double-A Binghamton. Earlier in the offseason, it was speculated by many that Nimmo might start the year in Triple-A Las Vegas.
With Matt den Dekker being traded earlier this week, the outfield in Vegas suddenly becomes a big question mark. It looks like it will consist of some combination of Cory Vaughn, Alex Castellanos, Travis Taijeron and Darrell Ceciliani.
Infield prospect Matt Reynolds has been named the winner of the annual John Murphy Award which goes to the top performing rookie in Mets big-league camp. The award is named for the GM of the 1969 Miracle Mets.
Reynolds, 24, will begin the season at Triple-A Las Vegas, but made a strong impression with a solid if not spectacular Grapefruit League performance at Port St. Lucie.
Reynold wrapped up his spring with a.391 batting average and 1.01 OPS in 46 at-bats with two homers, two stolen bases, and 10 RBIs.
