Mets Community Prospect List #17: Run-Off!

by squid92 on Oct 2, 2010 12:58 PM EDT

With Armando Rodriguez and Steven Matz tied at 14 votes apiece, there'll be a run-off between the two candidates for the #17 spot. The player receiving the most in the approximate 24 hour period will be put on the prospect list in the #17 spot, and the other player will be put back onto the regular ballot for voting for the #18 spot, the third-to-last spot of the total 20. With that all said, vote away!

I guess there is a bias against guys named "Armando" heh

Didn't care for either one but I voted for Armando.

Still suspicious about Matz.

And you can forget about Holt in that list, by the way. I think his novelty wore off with each turrible outing.

Love that ceiling.

Sandy Alderson for GM!
R.A. Dickey for Governor!

Armando

I think he could be one of those guys that take a while to get going, but once they figure it out, take off.

I voted for Matz

I cannot find a scouting report anywhere on the internet for Armando Rodriguez besides “he has had a great season and is a good sleeper in the Mets season”

Can somebody explain what this guy is about?

Gas prices today are a lot like a pitcher's ERA. Anything under 3 is amazing, under 4 is pretty good and anything 5 and up is something you want to avoid.

Good fastball command and movement

I really haven’t heard much about his secondary stuff. The fastball has apparently been clocked as high as 95 in the past, but my understanding is he was more like 88-91 most of this season. I’m a bit skeptical of success in the SAL, especially in Savannah, which is a good pitchers park. It sounds like he can locate an average fastball, but I’m not sure if he has the stuff yet to get higher level guys out.
