This past week in the Mets minor leagues featured some highs and some lows. The Syracuse Mets and Binghamton Rumble Ponies had fantastic weeks, as did the FCL Mets. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Cyclones had a pretty forgetful week while the St. Lucie Mets’ week was a straight dumpster fire. Among all of these team performances, there were some individual performances that were great and some...

Much as was the case last Tuesday, starting pitching dazzled in the Mets’ minor league system tonight. Christian Scott continued to make a case to appear in Queens sooner rather than later, and St. Lucie opening-day starter Jack Wenninger dazzled with one hit over six innings and 10 strikeouts.

The second week of the season was a success for the likes of Syracuse and Brooklyn, who won their series, but not so much for Binghamton and St. Lucie, who lost their series. There were several offensive players, such as Rylan Bannon and Alex Ramírez, who shined for their respective teams, but it was really a week dominated by the pitchers, as it was during the first week of the season. Blade...
Despite a Binghamton Rumble Ponies loss on Sunday, outfielder Alex Ramírez continues to impress as he recorded a three-hit day.

A lot of recent talk about pitching in the Mets minor leagues has kind of forgotten about Blade Tidwell, but the right-hander put his name back in the conversation with a strong season debut on Wednesday for Double-A Binghamton.
