With 2015 now behind us we will look at how each of the Mets affiliates fared last year. We start with the team that won the most games. One of the biggest bright spots was the Savannah Sand Gnats who went 84-53 in the South Atlantic League. They had an 18-game winning streak, which was the longest in the last ten years of minor league baseball. The streak wasn’t ended by a loss but an extremely...
The Savannah Sand Gnats have announced its initial roster for the 2015 season and it has some exciting names on it. The rotation will include Casey Meisner who was outstanding for Brooklyn last year and was #19 on MMO’s Top 25 Prospect list. Fellow Brooklyn starters Corey Oswalt, Martires Arias, and Alberto Baldonado should also join Meisner in Savannah. The bullpen will feature Shane Bay...

He’s a bit on the smaller side, standing at 5’9”, but his body type is that of your prototypical speedster. It’s very likely that Biondi will barely...
I hope you all enjoyed my coverage of the Brooklyn Cyclones this summer. I certainly did! It was great to meet and interact with many of the team’s recent draft picks to see what’s in store for the future. And of course, Rich Donnelly is an awesome baseball mind, so it was great to hear his perspective each night. Below is a Q&A between myself and the MMO staff discussing the...
Brooklyn Cyclones’ righty reliever Johnny Magliozzi had no thrown more than a single inning at any time this summer. But with the game on the line in the top of the eighth, Cyclones’ manager Rich Donnelly called on the reliever to get the final six outs. Magliozzi came through in dominant fashion as Brooklyn held on for a 6-4 win Friday evening at MCU Park over the Vermont Lake Monsters, the...
