Mets Daily Farm System Report 8/24 --Nimmo's 7th Straight Strikeout, Lutz's Sombrero

*All results from games played on Tuesday, August 22nd 2011

AAA - Buffalo Bisons (57-73)_______________________________________

BUFFALO 0, COLUMBUS 5 (Box) Jordany Valdespin yanked a double and did not score, though he was the Herd's lone runner to reach scoring position. Meanwhile, the Clippers busted three homers off left-handed fluffballer Pat Misch, and we all went home screaming.


Star-divide

AA - Binghamton Mets (57-72)_____________________________________

ERIE 4, BINGHAMTON 6 (Box) Bingo climbed from a 4-run hole to mount a 6th inning 5-run charge. Havens cranked a three-run shot -- Den Dekker and Lagares aboard -- and Eric Campbell pushed his team ahead with a two-run double -- a lead that was expanded when Den Dekker cracked a homer to begin the 7th. He didn't strike out neither.

 

Hi-A St. Lucie Mets (28-27)________________________________________

ST. LUCIE 1, FORT MYERS 2 / 5 INNINGS (Box) This ballgame began on July 1st, believe it or not, and lasted an inning before the rain fell. So they picked it up tonight, and played the game of baseball for one hour and eleven minutes, before pulling the tarp over a 5-inning, official Met loss.

 

Lo-A Savannah Sand Gnats (35-22)__________________________________

SAVANNNAH 2, ROME 6 (Box) Yohan Almote didn't walk anybody, didn't whiff anybody, only doled out the hits. The Gnats lay quiet until the seventh, when Joe "the Bonfire" Bonfire clipped a single, and Blake "the Scythe" Forsythe reaped what Joe sowed. That is, he hit a homer. 

 

Short Season A- Brooklyn Cyclones (35-27)_______________________________________

BROOKLYN 4, TRI-CITY 7 (Box) Danny Muno knocked a couple safeties and worked a walk, and Richard Lucas, who almost fought an umpire the other day, cracked a home run.


Applachian League (R)- Kingsport Mets (33-28)_______________________________________
 
DANVILLE 7, KINGSPORT 5 (Box)

Gulf Coast League (R)- GCL Mets (25-28)_______________________________________

GCL CARDINALS 2, GCL METS 4 (Box)

 Beaming Star of the Night 

3B Reese Havens did the heavy lifting in the org's lone win, sending a 3-run ball to the seats. The 24-year-old second baseman is tearing up August: .357/.446/.500, granted with a .442 BABIP.


Stinking Goat of the Night

Nimmo fanned in his first three at bats to run his K streak to 7, before mercifully flying out to center field. Mercifullier yet, Zach Lutz managed a yet worse night and wears the horns.

"Org's lone win"

According to your report, the org had two wins — Binghamton and GCL.

Indeed.

Nimmo

Well, this is where it starts. What I mean is, this is where the players who were successful in HS/College (or in this case, Legion Ball) find out baseball is actually pretty hard when you play other talented individuals. Excited to see how he handles it all.

Also, I’ve seen several places that mention Nimmo starting next year at Brooklyn. This seems to be where a lot of newly drafted COLLEGE players start. I’m wondering if maybe they should start him at Kingsport instead. At least to start the year.

by eDaPS on Aug 24, 2011 8:46 AM EDT reply actions  

Well it would probably be extended spring training and then Brooklyn

I would agree though Kingsport seems like a more logical choice to me.

Phillip Evans.

He debuted for GCL last night. Went 1-3 with a BB and 2 runs scored.

by eDaPS on Aug 24, 2011 9:37 AM EDT reply actions  

I lobby his inclusion in the daily recaps!

He was allegedly our toughest sign of the draft and we spent the most we ever have outside of the first 2 rounds to get him. Hyde called him “a top 100 guy in the draft with pick number 462.”

Here’s Michael Diaz’s scouting report and here’s Alex Nelson’s. Middle infielder with average tools but no weaknesses. He’ll be interesting to follow.

Nimmo

He’s probably just anxious to make a splash. If he started off on fire it would be great, but if he struggles for the next month it’s not the end of the world. It’s a small window for him to adjust to pro ball and get into a zone.

by MetsCity on Aug 24, 2011 11:03 AM EDT reply actions  

This

He’s basically been thrown right into pro ball without even a week or two to acclimate himself in the complex. I understand that they want to get him some reps, but these stats are going to be of even less worth than GCL stats normally are.

Actually, he's not even going to get a month

because the GCL season ends on Saturday, according to the online schedule. There’s 3 more games (they have off tomorrow) and then all those guys probably just head off to instructs or something.

I think there's at least a one month adjustment

from playing inside of barns with a strike zone maid of hay and a tractor posing as the pitcher, to playing outside of barns with no farm animals. Let’s give him one month. If he fails…traid!
