Dude, where's my dude?

[Guest Edgy DC]

You ever have problems finiding that prospect (or prospective prospect) you were thinking about? Sure, we all have.

Wouldn't you love to see them all before you in an easy-to-read chart? Of course you would!

What if I told you such a chart was available? Astounding, you'd say, but how much would it cost?

What if I told you that there was no cost to you? Sure, if you were so appreciative that you had to pay something, you could send some money to our community chest fund or our baseball-reference.com fund, but that's it. Your obligation is nothing. Nothing now, nothing later.

Impossible, you say? But it's true.

[nymr83]

I assume the short-season league rosters (Brooklyn and i think there are others) get filled out from the june draft and the guys in extended spring training?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah. Whoever is left over from spring, that hasn't gotten a better assignment or released ends up on a short season roster. Many of those guys, though, will get a more plum slot.

Edgar Alfonzo ends up in EST every year.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Nice job

[Guest Edgy DC]

I love the EST roster. We finally find Zach Clements, along with fellow catcher-turned-pitcher Hietpas.

Who the heck is Wendy Rosa?

[Frayed Knot]

]Who the heck is Wendy Rosa?

Sounds like the spawn of several Springsteen songs.



The interesting assignment here is Fernando Martinez all the way up in AA
already following just a partial (injury-shortened) season of Low-A plus a
brief (and unsuccessful) year-end stint in High-A - all while being well ahead
of his age group to begin with.
This is a guy who doesn't turn 19 until October.

Looks like Minaya is definitely sticking to his pledge of aggressive promotion
within the minor league system for the higher rated prospects.

[metirish]

Ambiorix Concepcion in AA,I don't have much hope for him reaching the "show",good work Edgy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I added the Mets and Zephyrs who are on the teams' respective disabled listst. That naturally becomes harder to confirm as the levels get lower. It's also confusing in that the Zephyrs have only 24 guys on their roster, but the B-Mets have 26, while the St.-Mets and the Sandgnats show 27 each. I've checked more than one source, but they're likely from the same place.

[Guest iramets]

Some guys I hope make it just for the name:

Jose Jimenez (otherwise known as Bill Dana)
Jesus Gamero (can never have too many Jesuses on MLB roster)
Jesus Feliciano (Even nine Jesuses wouldn't be too many)
Elvis Cruz (Or too many Elvises. Can you see an all-Jesus-and-Elvis OF?)
Nick Giarraputo (Nick War-Whore? Can that be right?)
Jean-Luc Blaquiere (I'm a Francophile. Sue me.)
Maxime Bouchard (In Federal Court.)
Joey Serfass (Any name ending with "ass" is going to be big in this town.)
Raul Valdes (Just want to shout "Ra-OOOOOOl!" again)
Raul Reyes (And I don't care who makes me do it, either)
Wendy Rosa (I wanna die with him on the other side of town...)
Joseph Leaper (Is this a great baseball name or what?)
Blake Eager (No, THIS is.)
Scott Schafer (I need to see this name in a POTG poll)
Tobi Stoner (The Mark Corey Memorial Award goes to...)
Jeramy Simmons (winner of the Burnitz can't-spell-his-own-name Award)
Waner Mateo (Just steeped in MLB history. Waner Bros. + Alou clan...)
Ramiro Mendoza (Now, here's someone who WILL get shit)
Tony Piazza (For obvious reasons.)
Jose A. Reyes. (Equally obvious)
Pedro P. Martinez (a trifecta)

[duan]

As Lastings gets his head round the fact that he ain't at the show yet and tries to shake the rust off his bat (3 singles, one walk in 19 pa's to go with 7 k's!!)

he's got both Fernando Martinez .346 obp .522 slg .261 avg and Carlos Gomez .451 obp .617 slg .404avg

coming up from behind to threaten his "first outfielder up" status.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Thinking the same thing.

Gomez is also considered the better centerfielder and certainly the better arm, so if Beltran or Chavez go down, it's more than a threat that Gomez gets the call. It's a freaking likelihood.

[duan]

having said that, next season we've only ONE starting outfielder under contract. A Milledge-Beltran-Gomez starting 3 could be very, very, good.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Reminds me...

[metirish]

I would like to see Lastings get the call up if the team needs an outfielder,and I would think that Omar would do that,no player deserves anything but I think Lastings shold get the shot,Gomez to get called up in September with the Mets coasting.

[Guest iramets]

metirish wrote: I think Lastings shold get the shot.

No matter what? If he's brooding and not hitting and playing the asshole again, and if Gomez is ripping up the league and fielding like Gary Maddox?

Under those circumstances, and especially if it's a three-week callup while someone gets off the DL, I'd just as soon send the message, "You ain't a star, Lastings, until you put in two or three star seasons in a row--until then, you're just another rookie dickhead who needs to show us that he's willing to work hard."

[metirish]

I never said "no matter what" ira,I just think Lastings will get the call before Gomez..

[Guest iramets]

Can't send the "Show some humility, rook" message often enough to please me.

[metirish]

iramets wrote: Can't send the "Show some humility, rook" message often enough to please me.

Your a trip, by all accounts Lastings had matured from last season and was a model team mate,for all we know Gomez could be a total wanker.

[Willets Point]

This list could be a good starting place for a prospect to adopt. Perhaps you could highlight the players that we Crane Poolers have already adopted.

Not to make more work for you Edgy, but you do seem to like doing things like this.

Thanks!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Maybe later.

What , the dude behaves himself for a few weeks, and it's all "We're sorry we thought you were an immature fuckhead last season, now you can slack off and we'll still love you, Lastings" where you come from? Around here, you need to show your chaaracter on a regular basis, especially when you've shown it to be full of flaws just last year.

I want a sampler saying "SHOW SOME HUMILITY, ROOK" to be hung over his locker for the next few years, just to remind him to hustle, keep his head in the game, don't be high-fiving the fans, come out for extra BP, and carry a few bags through customs while dressed up like an old lady.

You might well heed that advice ira

[Guest iramets]

Why is it always about me?

[duan]

where did we get the "lastings is slacking off" idea
in fairness to milledge he got 3 abs in a couple of weeks, understandable that it'll take a few games to get the swing going.

[Guest iramets]

duan wrote: where did we get the "lastings is slacking off" idea.

Before this ST, w/a new attitude, Omar prolly woulda given you Milledge for a cracked bat and a tube of liniment. Certainly for a washed-up starting pitcher under 45 years of age, but no one was offering any, so he kept Lastings, who then came through with a hot bat and some better interaction w/veteran players, is my sense.

[Guest iramets]

When did the Mets lose Angel Pagan? He was one of my favorite names.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

It's always about you because you distort Lastings possibly being shopped
and perhaps the team getting weary of his attitude into, >>>Omar prolly woulda

Then if someone calls you on it, you ask three more questions that are unanswerable
and non-pertinent and before you know it there's a three page thread of circuitous bullshit.

At least that's why I think it's always about you, other people's milledge may vary.

[Guest iramets]

="Kid Carsey"]because you distort Lastings possibly being shopped and perhaps the team getting weary of his attitude.

Well, ANYTHING is possible. It's "possible" that you're a nitpicking horse's ass (though I don't personally believe this to be the case) and "perhaps" you lack the requisite brainpower needed to fire up a refrigerator bulb (though I've always found you witty and intelligent). I believe in stating my views forthrightly and definitely, instead of hiding behind weak-assed Perhapses and Possiblys. I believe Milledge was shopped around this winter (or at least it would be the case if Omar has a functioning brain, which I believe he has) and I believe that he didn't get any very attractive offers, so he kept him and lo and behold, Lastings came to camp with an attitude adjustment, so it all seems to have worked out.

See how that works? I tell you that what I think happened, no b.s., no waffling, no maybe this or perhaps that, and if you want to get all pissed off at me, go right ahead. But other than holding a fairly firm opinion, I've done nothing to piss you off unless you have unreasonably high standards of quaffing certain purple liquids or wearing sunglasses with doubly tinted shades. And you don't want me to start on your possible nightwear of preference, correct?

[Guest Kid Carsey]

I'm not pissed off. You asked a question earlier in thread that caught my
eye and I gave one answer and closed with it's my opinion and that others
opinions (milledges) may vary.

I think I'll try a cup of indifference for a week or two.
