Returning home from a rough series loss in Reno during which they had two blown saves, Las Vegas (29-25) aimed to turn things around against Tacoma Saturday night. Rafael Montero started, and was staked to a two-run lead in the bottom of the first inning. Dilson Herrera led off with a walk and went to third on an errant pick-off attempt by Rainiers pitcher Sam Gaviglio. T.J. Rivera grounded out...
Las Vegas 6 (24-18), Colorado Springs (Milwaukee) 4 Box Score Center fielder Brandon Nimmo continued his recent hot streak going 3 for 5 with four runs batted in, raising his average to .289. He is batting .304 against righties this year and I think he has the ability to be a solid platoon partner with Juan Lagares, if given the chance. Duane Below pitched 5.1 innings, allowing 11 hits but...
Adam Rubin of ESPN New York is reporting that despite having a pair of major-league-ready young catchers, the New York Mets are telling teams they are interested in acquiring a backup catcher to break camp with the big-league club. As reported this morning, the Mets are debating whether Kevin Plawecki should open the season at Triple-A Las Vegas and go with Johnny Monell as the backup to Travis...
Earlier this offseason there was a chance that the Mets could have lost outfield prospect Wuilmer Becerra in the Rule 5 draft but thankfully teams decided to take a pass on the opportunity. Becerra extended his hitting streak last night to seven games with a 4 for 4 night. He knocked in his 11th run, was hit by a pitch, and scored twice for the Tigres de Aragua. Wuilmer is 13 for 29 during his...
Mets outfield prospect Wuilmer Becerra has finally started getting regular playing time for the Tigres de Aragua and it has paid off tremendously.

During his six-game hitting streak the 21-year old has gone 10 for 20 with a homerun, four RBI, and seven runs scored. Overall for...
Last Thursday Wilmer Flores was hit by a pitch on his left heel and was out of the lineup until last night for the Bravos de Margarita.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis then doubled on a hit and run play, which put runners on first and third with no outs. Johnny...
It is a little early in the season for this but I thought it would be fun to look at some of the Mets affiliates batting leaders to get an idea of how some of our prospects are doing. Keep in mind that many of these are small sample sizes (under 100 at bats) and that the offensive categories will be dominated by Vegas for the most part. To put the Las Vegas/Savannah dynamics into perspective...
