Anyone have any idea what Rosario is still doing in St. Lucie?
Still hitting……….a lot lol.
I hope its just so those Cola guys could enjoy their all star appearences and now let the mpvements begin! (Unless now we wait on whatever other minor league all star games are left
Mets generally wait until July for promotions but I think they missed the ball on this one.
Big time. I thought he would actually be a late May, early June promotion like Conforto last year. I could buy into letting him stay around these last couple of weeks to play in the AS game, but cannot for the life of me figure out why they are keeping him in St. Lucie at this point.
BTW, typo in Nimmo’s line above. He’s hitting .323, not .232.
I think so too. Who is even playing SS in Binghamton? Looking at their roster it doesn’t even have a SS listed. Hopefully this happens soon which would allow Guillorme to move back to SS at St Lucie.
Also, its too bad Andres Gimenez wont be moved Stateside. Based on the game recaps it looks like the DSL isn’t much of a challenge for him.
