Around SBN: Are The Orioles Bad Or Unlucky With Their Young Pitching?

Mets Community Prospect List: #17 RUNOFF! (My bad!)

Hey guys, sorry for the gap in the Community list.  I wanted to try to let #17 separate out a bit so I could at least do a real runoff, got sidetracked with all the craptacularness of the big league team, and wound up going camping for five days.  But now I'm back, so lets pick up where we left off.

With a virtual tie between Francisco Pena (12 votes) and Dillon Gee (11 votes) we have ourselves a third runoff.  Here's how the list looks so far:

  1. Fernando Martinez
  2. Jenrry Meija
  3. Brad Holt
  4. Wilmer Flores
  5. Jonathon Niese
  6. Reese Havens
  7. Josh Thole
  8. Ike Davis
  9. Ruben Tejada
  10. Jefry Marte
  11. Jeurys Familia
  12. Kirk Nieuwenhuis
  13. Brant Rustich
  14. Robert Carson
  15. Kyle Allen
  16. Scott Moviel

For the runoff, only the two names will be posted in the poll.  A one vote difference will be counted this time around, so consider your vote carefully, as this is an opportunity to change your mind, and an opportunity for those who voted for others to throw their hat into the Pena vs. Gee ring.  Afterward, the winner will be added to the list and the loser will be thrown back in with the group of candidates for round 18.  If its a landslide, I will close the poll early and move on to round 18.  Otherwise, I will let the poll run through the night and see where we are tomorrow afternoon.  Happy voting!

Nope

Unless I missed something while I was away, he avoided the surgery in favor of rehab. If not for the injury, he would surely be higher up anyway, but the fact that he avoided surgery can only be a good thing.

go Gee go!!!

Just know, if there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

What about this guy?

Has anyone seen the numbers Brandon Moore has been putting up at Brooklyn? Pretty impressive. High K rate, low whip, nice numbers.

by David G on Aug 7, 2009 12:04 PM EDT reply actions  

he's kind of old for the NY Penn

and his numbers aren’t that good all things considered.

See your point on age, but almost a 4 to 1 K to BB ratio

warrants some attention. He should be promoted at least, anyway.

I liked Moore

when they drafted him last year. Was a little surprised they didn’t find a spot for him on one of the full season teams. He is repeating the league, and he’s a little old, but those numbers are still awfully impressive and he’s got decent stuff. I’ve been pulling for him.

Lutz

I hope Lutz is on the next poll. He’s been rising up my list the last month.

Here, it would be close for me if I were sure Gee was healthy. With a labrum tear to recover from there, I have to go with Pena.

by acerimusdux on Aug 7, 2009 4:11 PM EDT reply actions  

Lutz is on the poll already (just not the runoff)

And he’s the guy I’ve been voting for for quite a few rounds now, I thought his uneven first half looked fishy to begin with. Decent HR/FB but low ISO due to lack of doubles (just three through May).

Introducing Buddy Alderson, Sandy's dog, and the newest member of Puppy Avenue!

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. 

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.
