Call-Up Dilson Herrera Already

After the game, Terry Collins revealed Juan Lagares was scratched from the lineup because he couldn’t close his left hand. At a minimum, it seems like a DL stint is inevitable. The natural inclination would be for the Mets to call-up Brandon Nimmo. He’s certainly earned the promotion hitting

The 2016 First-Year Player Draft is complete, which means the 2o16 Brooklyn Cyclones season is right around the corner. The Mets opted to select college players with each of their 11 picks across the first two days of the Draft, and they’ll certainly be given exposure to Coney Island sooner rather than

With the addition of the DSL teams, this is getting more and more difficult to narrow down to three players for each. I intentionally omitted Johnny Monell, (who has four HR in his last 10 games), TJ Rivera and PJ Conlon who in my opinion are not hot anymore,

It was an up and down month of May for the Mets minor league teams. The Las Vegas 51s where 14-12 in May while the Binghamton Mets had a terrible month going 9-21. The St. Lucie Mets (12-16) and the Colombia Fireflies (14-15) also joined the B-Mets in the under

To their credit, the Mets have built an organization deep with pitching talent. When you do that, you are eventually going to be faced with a difficult decision over who to keep and who to trade, who to promote and who to keep down, and who to protect and

No More Excuses: It’s Time to Call Up T.J. Rivera

David Wright could very well land on the disabled list today leaving a glaring hole at third base which leaves me wondering will the Mets continue to ignore the undrafted T.J. Rivera? Eric Campbell made the team out of Spring Training. He’s hitting .159/.270/.226 in 30 games. He has

It was Military Appreciation Day at Tradition Field on Thursday night and I was one of the lucky ones who was able to make it out to Port St. Lucie to watch the St. Lucie Mets defeat the Charlotte Stone Crabs 2-0. The game was highlighted by solid

At what point does T.J. Rivera finally get his shot? In his minor league career, Rivera has hit everywhere he’s gone. In his minor league career, he’s hit .320/.367/.423. For the past three years, he’s played Winter Ball hitting .307/.361/.445. Bottom line is Rivera has hit everywhere he has

Unsung Heroes of the Las Vegas 51s So Far

By Former Writers

May 6, 2016Mets Minors Thoughts2 Comments

The Las Vegas 51s have been extremely average to start of the 2016 campaign, with an 13-13 record through 26 games, and two games behind the first place Salt Lake Bees, affiliates of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Their middling record is partly due to the offensive issues they had

May 3, 2016Mets Minors Thoughts7 Comments

First impressions are everything, especially in the minor leagues. Now that the first month of the season is in the books, teams will now begin to assess those players that made a statement to start the year, and determine who is worth keeping an eye on throughout May. If they
