Take a Hike, Son (Spring Training Cuts 2023)

Tim Locastro make the team over the kids

[Frayed Knot]

Let us keep in mind that Baty and Vientos are a combined 13 for 74 vs ML pitching thus far.

locastro also gives the mets a little bit of health insurance in case nimmo is still feeling the effects of his knee/ankle injury. i'm much more ok with him making the team over the kids than ruf.



oe: mind you, this comment is relative only to the start of teh season. once we see how healthy and effective everyone is, i think we'll see baty up sooner rather than later, with vientos to follow.

If that's the case against promoting them, then they should never ever be promoted because you can say that all of the time into perpetuity before they're eventually promoted.



I mean, how do they gwt to improve on that 13 for 74 without being promoted?

[Frayed Knot]

Yes, never promoted. That's precisely what I meant.

I know exactly what you meant. But go ahead. Keep the 13 for 74 in mind for what then? To improve their 13 for 74 against major league pitchers by batting against minor leaguers?

Baty hasn't really played in AAA and I can't say it is wrong to think some time there would benefit him.

I didn't say it was right or wrong. All I said is that if you're gonna consider Baty and the other guy's combined 13 for 74 against major league pitching to date, well it's gonna be 13 for 74 no matter when they're promoted. If they go 100 for 100 with 100 homers in the minors next month, they'll still be a combined 13 for 74 against MLB pitching before they're promoted again.

Apparently not.
